– The Democratic National Convention Committee has qualified 26 hotels as sites for its approximately 6,000 delegates and alternates participating in Convention week activities at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia Jul. 25-28. Fifty-seven state delegations will fill hotel rooms in the city and at Valley Forge.

“The delegates do the work of the Convention and are our most important guests,” said Rev. Leah D. Daughtry, CEO of the DNCC. “We worked very hard to ensure that the majority of state delegations secured one of their top three hotel choices. Philadelphia is an excellent city for a Convention and it has a great array of top-notch hotel properties which will serve the delegates well next July.”

State delegations use their hotels as a base of operations during the convention week. Each delegation begins its day by hosting breakfast at their respective hotels to preview the day’s Convention activities. In addition, delegates use their hotels to host receptions and conduct official business, including meetings and press conferences.

The DNCC and the hotels will ensure that delegates have convenient access to the Wells Fargo Center during the Convention hours through the DNCC’s transportation system.
