Stay

Washington, D.C.

We have reserved a block of rooms at the venue, a hip and happenin’ hotel/former church in the heart of Northwest DC, for a discounted rate. There are plenty of alternatives across the city if the LINE isn’t your bag!

Keep in mind that the rate and the link below only apply to stays on May 6, 7, and 8, so if you’d like to stay at the LINE any other nights, you’ll have to make a separate booking. Please reserve your room before the cutoff date of April 7, 2027!
