Washington, DC The next Card Clinic, featuring Jamy Ian Swiss and Roberto Giobbi, will be held in the nation's capital: Washington, D.C.! The 4th Card Clinic will be hosted at the beautiful Melrose Hotel, on Pennsylvania Avenue. The Melrose Hotel Washington is situated two blocks from Georgetown, eight blocks from the White House, and approximately five miles from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, 27 miles from Dulles International Airport, and 37 miles from Baltimore-Washington International Airport. Local attractions include Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Old Stone House, Pentagon, and Jefferson Memorial. The Melrose Hotel recently completed a full-scale, multi-million dollar renovation of the entire property. Each of the guest rooms, all of the public space and the social and meeting facilities have been newly refurbished, and guests will be greeted in an intimate lobby with new restaurant and bar. The generously sized guest rooms and suites now feature two-line telephones with data ports and wireless Internet access, personal coffee makers, cable television and On Demand movies, plush terry robes and hair dryers, iron and ironing board and complimentary newspaper delivery. Original artwork commissioned for the hotel adorns each room and features watercolor renderings of the city's famed historical attractions. Please be aware that we ask and expect you to register for your hotel accommodations through the Clinic, as the room rates and quantity are part of our arrangement with the hotel in order to defray meeting room and other related production costs. Please do not register directly with the hotel. Registrants who live locally or choose to stay elsewhere than at the conference hotel will be charged a $100 commuter fee to defray meeting room and production costs. There are no exceptions to this policy. These are standard professional conference arrangements and we appreciate your cooperation with these guidelines. home | WHY | WHAT | WHO | WHERE | WHEN | HOW | CONTACT
