By Matthew R, innkeeper at American Guest House.
The American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine brings the ACRM 103rd Annual FALL Conference & EXPO to Washington, D.C., October 12–16, 2026.
Official ACRM pages list the meeting at the Washington Hilton.
If you are a rehabilitation researcher, clinician, or exhibitor traveling for sessions, posters, instructional courses, or the Rehab Expo,
this guide sticks to confirmed facts and a practical stay at American Guest House — a 5-minute walk away in Kalorama.
Confirmed event facts
- What: ACRM 103rd Annual FALL Conference & EXPO

Use ACRM registration and housing channels for badges and any official Hilton block.
We are an independent historic bed and breakfast a 5-minute walk from the host hotel — not the conference hotel itself.
Confirm agenda, CE, housing, and expo hours on the organizer site. This page does not invent speakers, credit hours, or guest lists.
When ACRM publishes updates, follow those pages — not a bed and breakfast blog — as the source of truth.
The ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton dates are October 12 to 16, 2026.
Many travelers add a night on either side so Sunday instructional courses and Friday wrap-up sessions do not collide with same-day flights.
American Guest House is not an ACRM housing bureau. We do not sell conference registration. Book the meeting with ACRM.
Book the room with us on Think Reservations if a Kalorama overnight fits your schedule.
Getting from American Guest House to the Washington Hilton
American Guest House is at 2005 Columbia Road NW, Washington, DC 20009, in Kalorama (Sheridan-Kalorama).
Adams Morgan restaurants are nearby; the house itself is in Kalorama, not Adams Morgan.
We are a 5-minute walk from the Washington Hilton and its Connecticut Avenue entrance. You do not need Metro for the conference venue itself.
Dupont Circle Metro (Red Line) is a 10-minute walk if you also have meetings elsewhere in the city.
That walk matters on days when Connecticut Avenue is congested with conference traffic.
Leaving from Columbia Road keeps you on a residential approach instead of fighting the main hotel porte-cochère every morning.
For an ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton week, the 5-minute walk is the whole point of this house. You can return between sessions without a cab.
You can drop a bag, change shoes, or take a quiet parlor break and still make the next Hilton ballroom on foot.
Street geography is simple: Columbia Road sits just off the Hilton’s north side. Follow the sidewalk toward Connecticut Avenue and you are at the host hotel.
There is no shuttle to book and no garage to clear before you reach registration.
If your day also includes NIH, Capitol Hill, or downtown appointments, Dupont Circle Metro is the practical Red Line door.
Walk downhill to the station, ride, and walk back the same evening.
The house does not run a shuttle and does not stage cars.
The house (Kalorama facts)
We are a historic bed and breakfast in an 1893 row house with 12 ensuite rooms. We are the closest historic B&B to the Washington Hilton.
Inventory stays at 12 sellable rooms.
Call us a bed and breakfast, not a “small house” and not a boutique hotel tower. Twelve ensuite rooms is the full count.
When those rooms are reserved, we are full.
That is why Direct Book on Think Reservations matters during a clustered meeting week.
Common space includes a parlor for quieter evenings after Hilton sessions. Rooms are ensuite.
The house is a historic Kalorama property, not an Adams Morgan nightclub block and not a Convention Center high-rise.
An ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton stay here is still a B&B stay: keys, a front-desk window, homemade breakfast on qualifying rates, and residential streets.
If you need a 400-room lobby bar and a 24-hour business center, the host hotel is a 5-minute walk away and may fit better.
We do not promise meeting space, exhibit storage, or group blocks beyond the 12 rooms on the books.
Teams that need several rooms should reserve early and treat the inventory as finite.
Breakfast, check-in, parking
- Breakfast is included on the Standard Rate and 2-day refundable rate only. It is not included on Corporate or Non-Refundable rates.
- Check-in is 4pm–10pm. Complimentary luggage storage in the parlor opens at 8am on your check-in day and runs until 5pm after check-out.
- We do not offer parking. There is no on-site lot. Full details: map, directions, and parking.
We do not take reservations by phone. Book direct on Think Reservations. House policies: FAQ.
Breakfast timing is a house kitchen, not a Hilton buffet. If your first session starts early, plan the walk and the meal window the night before.
Corporate and Non-Refundable rates skip breakfast by design — read the rate rules before you assume a plate is included.
Parking is the most common wrong assumption. American Guest House does not sell parking, does not hold a driveway, and does not validate a garage.
Luggage storage in the parlor from 8am on your check-in day is the practical answer when a morning flight lands before 4pm check-in.
Store bags, make the 5-minute walk to pick up a badge, then come back for keys after 4pm.
Checkout logistics work in reverse: confirm the posted checkout time on your reservation and use storage if your return flight is later in the day.
Why rehab travelers stay in Kalorama
ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton weeks concentrate sessions, posters, and expo traffic inside the Hilton complex.
A historic B&B with 12 ensuite rooms keeps evenings quieter while still putting you a 5-minute walk from registration and ballrooms.
Colleagues who only need two or three nights can use the same pocket without changing neighborhoods mid-meeting.
Build nights around the sessions you will actually attend — pre-conference instructional courses often justify a Sunday arrival.
Kalorama is residential. That is the product. You hear less porte-cochère traffic than you would on the Hilton driveway. You still reach Connecticut Avenue in minutes.
Adams Morgan dining is a short walk when you want a table that is not inside the
host hotel — that is neighborhood convenience, not a claim that the B&B sits in Adams Morgan.
Rehab researchers and clinicians often keep irregular hours: posters, expo floor time, committee meetings. A 5-minute walk beats a crosstown hotel when the day runs long.
An ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton base in Kalorama is a geography choice, not a luxury-amenity pitch.
We are not a medical campus hotel and we are not attached to ACRM. We are 12 rooms in an 1893 Kalorama row house.
If that matches how you like to travel, book it. If you need the official block, use ACRM housing.
Practical tips for ACRM week
Connecticut Avenue restaurants fill during ACRM.
Adams Morgan is nearby and gives more table options without a long
rideshare — that is neighborhood convenience, not a claim that the house is in Adams Morgan.
Luggage storage in the parlor from 8am on your check-in day helps when flights land before check-in. Use that window to collect your badge, then return for keys after 4pm.
House links: FAQ, map, directions, and parking, rooms, Kalorama B&B a 5-minute walk from the Washington Hilton.
Pack for walking. The ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton venue is indoors, but your overnight is a 5-minute walk away on city sidewalks.
Comfortable shoes matter more here than a car key.
Do not treat the parlor as meeting space you can reserve. It is shared house common space.
If you need a private huddle room, that is a Hilton conversation, not an American Guest House add-on.
Read rate rules. Standard Rate and 2-day refundable rate include homemade breakfast. Corporate and Non-Refundable do not. Taxes, occupancy, and cancellation windows show on Think Reservations before you pay.
Rate quotes appear only on Think Reservations. We do not take reservations by phone. Book direct on Think Reservations.
If two colleagues want rooms, search both dates on Think Reservations instead of assuming a group hold. Twelve ensuite rooms sell independently.
An ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton cluster can empty the house without a waitlist appearing on this page.
Weather in mid-October is usually walkable. Still, a compact umbrella fits a Kalorama block better than waiting on a rideshare in the Hilton driveway crush.
For Metro beyond Dupont Circle, use WMATA trip tools. We do not sell SmarTrip cards at the desk as a guaranteed inventory item.
Plan transit before you arrive if your agenda leaves the Hilton campus.
What this page will not claim
This is a lodging page. It is not the ACRM program. We will not list speakers, CE credit hours, exhibitors, or party invitations.
Those details belong on conference.acrm.org/2026-annual-conference and the hub at conference.acrm.org.
American Guest House is a 12-room Kalorama bed and breakfast with ensuite rooms. We do not offer parking. We do not take reservations by phone. Book direct on Think Reservations.
Direct Book only.
If an official Hilton block exists, use it when it fits.
If it is sold, constrained, or simply farther from how you like to sleep, the Kalorama B&B a 5-minute walk away is the overflow case this guide describes.
Getting here without a car
Most ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton guests do not need a car for the meeting itself. The venue is a 5-minute walk from the house.
Dupont Circle Metro (Red Line) covers the rest of the city.
Union Station and Reagan National are the usual rail and airport doors; use Metro, a train, or a rideshare rather than assuming a driveway here.
From Dupont Circle station, the walk to 2005 Columbia Road NW is about 10 minutes on sidewalks. From the Washington Hilton frontage, it is a 5-minute walk.
That is the entire transfer story. We do not operate an airport shuttle and we do not meet flights.
If you land before 4pm, store luggage in the parlor from 8am on your check-in day, then walk to the Hilton for badge pickup. Come back for keys after 4pm.
That pattern is how an ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton arrival actually works at a B&B that is a 5-minute walk away.
Rideshares can drop on Columbia Road. Do not send a driver to hunt for “the hotel lot.” There is no lot. Give 2005 Columbia Road NW, Washington, DC 20009.
If a driver defaults to the Washington Hilton, you can still make the 5-minute walk — but the pin for American Guest House is the house, not the Hilton porte-cochère.
Who this stay fits
This stay fits a rehabilitation researcher, clinician, or exhibitor who wants a historic Kalorama bed and breakfast instead of a tower room.
It fits a two-night or five-night stay equally, as long as the 12 ensuite rooms are open on Think Reservations.
This stay does not fit someone who needs on-site parking or a 24-hour gym. We do not take reservations by phone. Book direct on Think Reservations.
It does not fit someone who wants breakfast on a Corporate or Non-Refundable rate.
If your only goal is to sleep inside the official conference hotel, book the Washington Hilton through ACRM channels.
If your goal is a quieter overnight a 5-minute walk away with Dupont Metro access, American Guest House is the ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton overflow case this page describes.
Couples and solo travelers both use the house. We do not name guests and we do not publish attendee lists.
Room photos on this site are house photos, not a promise of a specific room number until Think Reservations assigns one.
Rate rules, in plain language
Homemade breakfast is included on Standard Rate and 2-day refundable rate only. Corporate Rate and Non-Refundable Rate do not include breakfast. That rule does not change for conference weeks.
Cancellation, deposits, and occupancy show on Think Reservations before you pay. Screenshot or save the rate rules with your confirmation.
An ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton week does not create a special unwritten exception.
We will not move breakfast onto a rate that does not include it. We will not hold a room without a Think Reservations reservation.
We will not take a card over the phone.
Last Minute Deal availability is inventory-dependent. If the dates you need only show Standard, Corporate, or Non-Refundable, those are the real choices.
Do not wait for a deal that may not appear.
Kalorama, not Adams Morgan
American Guest House is in Kalorama (Sheridan-Kalorama). 18th Street and Adams Morgan dining sit nearby. The house address is still 2005 Columbia Road NW in Kalorama.
Please do not list us as an Adams Morgan hotel on a travel itinerary.
The distinction matters for walking directions, neighborhood character, and how you describe the stay to colleagues. Kalorama is residential. Adams Morgan is the louder dining strip.
You can use both in one evening and still sleep at the B&B.
For an ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton itinerary, put the Hilton at 1919 Connecticut Ave NW and the house at 2005 Columbia Road NW.
Those two pins are a 5-minute walk apart.
That is the map.
If a colleague asks whether they can “stay in Kalorama near Adams Morgan and walk,” the honest answer is: stay in Kalorama at American Guest House and make the 5-minute walk to the Hilton.
Do not confuse the restaurant strip with the bed and breakfast.
Registration for ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton opens inside the Washington Hilton, a 5-minute walk from Columbia Road.
Exhibitors covering ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton often keep the same Kalorama room across instructional courses and Rehab Expo days.
Quiet evenings after ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton sessions are easier in an 1893 row house than in a Connecticut Avenue tower.
Build your ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton stay around the sessions you will attend — pre-conference courses often justify a Sunday arrival.
Morning walks to registration for ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton are a 5-minute walk from our Columbia Road porch.
Keep one Kalorama room for the full ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton stretch instead of changing hotels mid-week.
Adams Morgan dining is nearby after ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton days; the house itself remains in Kalorama, not Adams Morgan.
Standard Rate and 2-day refundable rate include breakfast for ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton mornings; Corporate and Non-Refundable do not.
Use Dupont Circle Metro when ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton side meetings pull you downtown beyond the Hilton block.
Luggage storage in the parlor from 8am on your check-in day helps ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton travelers whose flights land before the 4pm check-in window.
Official housing sits at the Hilton; overflow for ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton is the Direct Book case for American Guest House a 5-minute walk away.
Rehab Expo hours for ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton can run long — a short residential walk beats waiting for a rideshare on Connecticut Avenue.
Twelve ensuite rooms are the full sellable count for ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton week.
Book your ACRM stay
National rehabilitation research meetings fill Hilton inventory. When the official block softens or sells out, overflow lodging a 5-minute walk away is the practical Direct Book case for American Guest House.
Set nights that match your actual agenda. A common pattern is arrival October 11 and departure October 17 so you are in Kalorama for the full October 12–16 meeting window.
Change the dates on Think Reservations if your flights differ. The dated search below is a starting point, not a required stay pattern.
An ACRM Fall Conference Washington Hilton traveler who wants the 12-room B&B should book as soon as dates are firm. Inventory does not expand for the meeting.

Questions about breakfast, parking, or check-in are answered on the FAQ and the map, directions, and parking page. We do not take reservations by phone. Book direct on Think Reservations.
