Getting to the Omni Shoreham from Kalorama
American Guest House is at 2005 Columbia Road NW, Washington, DC 20009, in Kalorama (Sheridan-Kalorama). Adams Morgan restaurants are nearby. The house is in Kalorama.
We are one block from the Washington Hilton — about a 2-minute walk to the Connecticut Avenue entrance — and a short walk or one Metro stop from the Omni Shoreham in Woodley Park. See also our Kalorama B&B one block from the Hilton guide. Dupont Circle Metro (Red Line) is a 7–10 minute walk from the house if you also have meetings downtown or at WilmerHale for the October 7 reception.
The Omni Shoreham remains the meeting hotel. American Guest House is overnight lodging nearby for ABA National Security Law CLE 2026, not the host property.
Breakfast, check-in, parking
- Breakfast is included on the Standard Rate and Last Minute Deal only. It is not included on every rate.
- Check-in is 4pm–10pm. You may leave luggage from 10am.
- We do not offer parking. There is no on-site lot. Nearby street parking is often 2-hour residential. Use SpotHero or paid lots/garages (Hilton garage at Florida & 19th is one option for Hilton-corridor nights). Full details: map, directions, and parking. House policies also live on our FAQ.
Early start days at 7:00 AM ET for ABA National Security Law CLE 2026 make the breakfast-rate choice worth reading before you book. If you arrive October 7 for the WilmerHale reception before ABA National Security Law CLE 2026, luggage can sit here from 10am while you head downtown.
Why ABA National Security Law CLE 2026 attendees stay in Kalorama
Omni Shoreham weeks put traffic on Calvert Street and Woodley Park. A historic bed and breakfast with 11 ensuite rooms in an 1893 house keeps evenings quieter while still putting you near Regency Ballroom sessions and the Woodley Park–Zoo / Adams Morgan Metro.
October 7 is the WilmerHale reception downtown. October 8–9 run full CLE days at the Omni. For ABA National Security Law CLE 2026 that shape often means a Wednesday or Thursday arrival through Friday departure so you can cover registration, both CLE days, and travel without a same-day scramble.
Saturday evening after closing is explore-the-city time for many guests. Dupont Circle covers coffee and casual dinner within a short walk of the house. Adams Morgan is nearby for more late options.
Meeting-week tips from the house
- Confirm ABA National Security Law CLE 2026 registration hours, CLE credit rules, and any keynote meal tickets on the ABA Cvent page a few days out. Early-bird ends September 14; registration closes October 2 at 5:00 PM ET.
- Pack light for an October 7 arrival if you plan the WilmerHale reception. Leave the heavy suitcase after 10am luggage drop if your room is not ready at 4pm check-in.
- Build buffer for Metro or rideshare between Kalorama and the Omni on Calvert Street for ABA National Security Law CLE 2026, and again for the downtown reception address.
- Book direct when you can: Check Rates & Availability.
On-site vs nearby Kalorama
Staying inside the Omni Shoreham for ABA National Security Law CLE 2026 puts elevators between your room and the Regency Ballroom. Staying at American Guest House puts a short neighborhood hop between a quieter overnight and the same halls. Both patterns work. The choice is noise, room-block availability, and whether you want a historic bed and breakfast instead of a large hotel floor.
Our role for ABA National Security Law CLE 2026 is the overnight: Kalorama address, ensuite rooms, Dupont Circle Metro access, and clear parking truth. Badge pickup, CLE logistics, and program content for ABA National Security Law CLE 2026 stay on the ABA pages.
