DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION COMMITTEE ASSIGNS CHOICE HOTEL TO VIRGINIA DELEGATES
Richmond- The Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) today announced that the Virginia delegation will stay at the Crowne Plaza Denver City Center Hotel during the Democratic National Convention August 25 - 28, 2008. Delegations were assigned today to 27 hotels in one of three clusters - Downtown, Stapleton and the Denver Tech Center - all within 20 minutes of the Pepsi Center.
"Early on we knew we wanted a downtown hotel for our delegates because it is central and within walking distance to the convention activities," said Democratic Party of Virginia Executive Director, Amy Reger. "With the successes we've had in the last few election cycles, it's nice that our delegation will be so close to the center of the action."
The delegation hotels will serve as the base of operations for state delegations during the Convention. Each delegation will begin its day by hosting a breakfast at their hotel to preview the day's Convention activities. Delegates will also use their hotels to host receptions and conduct official business including meetings and press conferences.
In a Convention first, the DNCC is running the housing selection, assignment and booking process entirely online. The move, designed to make good on the DNCC's commitment to make this the "greenest" political convention on record, will save more than 50,000 sheets of paper in delegate mailings. Delegation hotel assignments were made available today on the Convention's housing website.
After a series of hotel site visits this summer, state delegations submitted their hotel requests in September. Their preferences, in addition to room block requests, function and caucus space needs, the number of suites requested and possible ADA needs, were used to develop the hotel assignments.
"I am confident that our most important guests at the 2008 Democratic National Convention - our delegates - will be pleased with their accommodations and enjoy their stay in the Mile High City," said Leah D. Daughtry, CEO of the DNCC. "Here in Denver, we are fortunate to have an exceptional selection of hotel properties - with hotel management rolling out the red carpet city wide."
