HQ DC House hosts private events for up to 370 guests across three floors of a landmark building in Penn Quarter, Washington, DC. The members' house at 600 F Street NW opens floors 2, 4 and 5 to organisers, each with a stated capacity of 120 guests. Brand activations, receptions, VIP evenings and corporate gatherings are all described on its private events page.
Seminars and company events
The house describes its spaces as event activation areas, lounge areas, private VIP areas, conversation spaces and fully equipped bars. That mix suits a client reception, a product activation or an evening for a small group of partners. An on-site team of servers, attendants and concierges runs the event, so the organiser does not need to bring service staff.
Organisers can book a single floor for 120 guests or combine all three levels for gatherings of up to 370. Members receive a discounted rate on private events, and corporate partners who sponsor memberships are offered 15 percent off events, according to the corporate partnerships page.
Rooms and capacities
The Penthouse is the room described in detail. It covers 2,400 square feet and holds 75 guests seated or 100 standing. It has in-house audiovisual equipment, including an 18 x 9 foot video wall and a 75 inch TV screen. A full-service bar and a separate VIP bar serve the room. A space named Kata is also listed on the private events page, without further detail.
Each of the three floors is quoted at 120 guests. The interiors combine exposed brick walls and high ceilings with modern amenities, in a building the house describes as a historic landmark.
Catering
The house works with caterers and distilleries covering a range of cuisines and spirits, both local and international. The page does not name an in-house kitchen, so organisers should confirm the catering arrangement for their event when they enquire.
History and setting
The building stands in the Chinatown and Penn Quarter neighborhood, close to the Capital One Arena and the Washington Convention Center. The U.S. Capitol and the White House are named among the nearby landmarks. HQ DC House is part of the HQ House community, a social club that also runs a house in Tatu City, near Nairobi.
Getting there
The entrance is directly across the street from the Gallery Place / Chinatown Metro station, and Judiciary Square Metro is a few blocks away. Opening hours on the site are Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 10 PM, with Saturdays open for member activations and closed on Sundays.
