Embassy Row Hotel Walking Tour

This summer, IGDC has partnered with The Embassy Row Hotel in Washington, D.C. to launch a walking tour of our favorite places to photograph in the Dupont Circle neighborhood.

To participate, IGDC asked the community to submit images to #igdcwalkingtour. We received over 400 submissions which certainly made it difficult for our judges.  Selected images will appear, from May through August, on printed handouts to all hotel guests and visitors so they can visit the places for themselves.

We are kicking off the project and revealing the explorer’s guides on May 6 from 5pm to 7pm with a launch party to celebrate the project and hope to see you all there.  Embassy Row’s own Station Kitchen & Cocktails will be offering three cocktails inspired by this walking tour.

Congratulations to the photographers whose work was selected:

Start your #igdcwalkingtour under the @embassyrowhotel stairs, where this #igfriendly @colettemillerwings mural gets you set to fly off on your next adventure. #igdc

"Diocco" is an original mural painted by four Senegalese artists. It is located on the back courtyard wall of The Phillips Collection. The artists, Muhsana Ali, Fodé Camara, Viyé Diba, and Piniang (Ibrahima Niang) were part of a group of painters who created a mural at the US Embassy in Dakar in May 2014. They traveled to Washington, DC as part of a cultural exchange organized by the State Department.
