Capital Hilton unveils year-long campaign celebrating America’s 250th anniversary and hotel legacy | News
Capital Hilton, an iconic historic landmark in the nation’s capital, announces the launch of an anniversary campaign and year-round booking package to commemorate America’s upcoming 250th anniversary, alongside the hotel’s rich history, through immersive programming, exclusive guest experiences and collectible elements.
“Capital Hilton has witnessed decades of American history unfold within its walls, presidential and world leaders visiting and more,” said Paolo Pedrazzini, Chief Executive Officer of Capital Hilton. “As we look ahead to America’s 250th anniversary, we wanted to create something that felt both memorable and immersive for guests who visited us year-round.”
Years of programming
The rotating guest experiences span the year, bringing stories to life for every season of the year – from cherry blossoms in the spring to America’s 250th anniversary in the summer, to fall and winter moments inspired by the capital’s history, culture and seasonal traditions. These experiences will be delivered through interactive moments in the lobby, special exhibitions in La Galerie on K and historical stories that reflect Capital Hilton’s role as a gathering place for leaders, travelers and cultural milestones across generations.
As part of the wider celebration, the hotel will introduce a range of collectible pins for guests to purchase during their visit. These pins feature three unique designs per season, related to American history, Washington, DC and the hotel. Guests will receive one design at random, with a total of twelve variations available throughout the year, encouraging guests to collect them all for commemoration.
Food and drink programming
The Statler Lounge will serve as the anchor for the campaign year-round, with The Truman Mule serving as the signature cocktail for the 2026 festivities. The cocktail is a modern classic and honors President Harry S. Truman, whose eponymous suite features the piano he played during his visits to the hotel while in office.
Capital 250 package
With the Capital 250 package, guests can both experience the campaign and take a piece of the party home with them. Guests who book this package will receive a seasonal collectible pin, Capital Hilton’s history booklet exploring the property’s legacy in DC’s cultural landscape, and a voucher to enjoy a complimentary Truman Mule in the Statler Lounge. Rates for the Capital 250 package start at $203 per night and are available to book from January 23 through the end of 2026.
Capital Hilton is located at 1001 16th Street NW, Washington, DC 20036. For reservations, guests can visit capitalhilton.com or call +1 (202) 393-1000.
