Sheraton Park Hotel

A legendary hotel in Washington, DC, site of many Disclaves and Discon II. It's geometry was somewhat exotic -- Joe Mayhew described it as being modeled on Castle Gormenghast. For example, the main hotel basement connected directly to the 8th floor of the attached Motor Hotel. The consuite in C-640 also achieved legendary status.

It was demolished immediately after Disclave 23. The convention swears that it had nothing to do with it...

It was subsequently rebuilt, but into a less...interesting...and more mundane (and perhaps more useable) structure and was used for the DC in '92 bid and as the Wardman Park Marriott was used for the DC17 bid. It is one of the few venues which fandom can afford can hold a full-sized Worldcon without a convention center.
