Hotel Reservations
The Fairmont Hotel
2401 M Street, NW
Washington, DC 20037
202/429-2400
Room reservations should be made directly with the Fairmont Hotel online or by calling 202/429-2400. NMHC has set aside a block of rooms at the group rate starting at $429 single/double occupancy per night (plus applicable taxes) for meeting attendees, with a cut-off date of Monday, August 21, 2017. Please specify that you will be attending the NMHC Meeting when speaking to the reservations agent to receive the group rate. Note: The Fairmont Hotel requires a deposit of the first two night's room rate when you make your room reservation. If your reservation is only for one-night, a deposit of one night's room rate will be required.
We expect our room block to sell out. If the rooms sell out, the Fairmont can place you on a waitlist and will contact you as rooms become available. In addition, contact Melissa Rowan at NMHC (202/974-2372 or mrowan@nmhc.org) for an alternative hotel option. If your plans change and you need to cancel your reservation at the Fairmont, before canceling the reservation, please contact Melissa Rowan at NMHC directly at 202/974-2372 or mrowan@nmhc.org, so she can reassign your room to another NMHC member on the waitlist, if one exists.
Meeting No Shows
NMHC prides itself on bringing the leading apartment industry executives to our membership meetings and forums. As part of your membership benefit, we’ve also made this event free to attend.
Unfortunately, when we do not charge a fee for a meeting, we have found that a not insignificant number of members automatically register for the meeting and book hotel rooms without knowing whether their schedules allow them to actually attend. And then a few weeks before the meeting when schedules are more solid, a fair number of these rooms/reservations are canceled.
We understand the desire to book a room and register for the meeting as an “insurance policy” in case you can attend. But we wanted to help you understand why that’s a problem for NMHC. First, it has serious financial consequences for us. We have to guarantee a certain number of rooms for every meeting, meaning we have to pay for them even if no one ends up using them. Last minute cancellations mean empty rooms (as well as food and beverage guarantees) that we can’t fill or alter, but must pay for.
We kindly ask that you (and your assistants) not automatically book registrations/rooms to these meetings unless you are reasonably sure that you’ll be able to attend.
We understand that emergencies come up and cause last minute cancellations, but if we can reduce the number of non-emergency cancellations, it will allow us to save money that we can redirect to other projects that directly support the industry.
