Reservations are now open for the Daguerreian Society’s official Symposium hotel for our 2026 Symposium in Washington, D.C. (October 15–17).
We have secured a group room block at:
Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill
400 New Jersey Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20001
202-737-1234
Reserve Your Room
We encourage you to book early. Last year, the Symposium hotel reached full capacity and was unable to accommodate late reservations.
Book your room here:

The Society's discounted room rate is $279 per night, plus city tax (15.95%). The hotel has also waived its $20 daily destination fee.
This special rate will be offered through September 15, pending room availabilty.
As always, if your plans change, reservations can be canceled without penalty up to 48 hours before check-in—so there is no downside to reserving early.
Why Stay at the Official Hotel?
Staying at the Hyatt Regency Washington places you at the center of Symposium activity and provides easy access to:
- Receptions, room hopping, the Makers Salon, Photo Fair, banquet, and Benefit Auction
- The National Gallery of Art, where Friday's presentations will be (a 5-minute drive or 15-minute walk from hotel).
- Other nearby museums and cultural sites, such as the U.S. Capitol, Library of Congress, and several Smithsonian museums
Plan Ahead
The 2026 Symposium is already shaping up to be an exceptional event, with planned visits, exhibitions, and programming tied to major institutional collections and the nation’s semiquincentennial year.
We strongly recommend securing your accommodations now to ensure you can participate fully in the experience.
