The Omni Shoreham is at 2500 Calvert Street NW, overlooking Rock Creek Park. American Guest House is 0.8 mile from the Omni Shoreham, at 2005 Columbia Road NW in Kalorama.
For a one-day event that runs from an opening breakfast to an evening of dinner and dancing, where you sleep matters. That is why the choice of a Leapfrog Patient Safety Summit hotel matters more than usual. Coming in the night before and leaving the morning after makes the day easier. A quiet room in a historic house is a good way to bookend a long day.

Planning your stay around a one-day summit
Here is how a stay with us fits the day if you are weighing us against a Leapfrog Patient Safety Summit hotel downtown.
- Arrive Monday, December 7. Check-in is from 4 PM to 10 PM, so a Monday flight or train puts you in your room the night before the opening breakfast.
- Tuesday, December 8. Head to the Omni Shoreham, 0.8 mile from the house, for the opening breakfast and the exhibit hall. Between the daytime program and the gala, you may want to change. If your schedule allows, coming back to your own room is an option.
- Leave Wednesday, December 9. Check out, and leave your bags in the parlor until 5 PM if you have meetings in town before your trip home.
- Arriving on summit day instead? You can leave your bags in the parlor from 8 AM and check in from 4 PM.
An earlier drop-off or a later pickup can be arranged, as long as you set it up in advance.
Breakfast, check-in and luggage
Breakfast depends on the rate you book. A homemade breakfast comes only with the Standard Rate and the 2-day refundable rate. It is served at 8:30, 8:45 or 9 AM, and you reserve your time in advance. Other rates do not include breakfast, so read the rate name before you book.
On summit day, Leapfrog’s program opens with its own breakfast, so our breakfast times may not fit that morning. On Wednesday, the morning after the gala, a 9 AM breakfast at the house may suit you well.
Check-in is from 4 PM to 10 PM. Bags can stay in the parlor from 8 AM on your check-in day, and after check-out until 5 PM.
