Celebrate the Lunar New Year in Downtown DC
Celebrate the Lunar New Year in grandeur with a spectacular giant dragon art installation, an awe-inspiring symbol of prosperity and good fortune for 2024 – the Year of the Dragon. This magnificent creation, towering over the Conrad's atrium, is a breathtaking fusion of traditional and contemporary artistry, featuring intricate details, vibrant colors, and dynamic movement to captivate the essence of the mythical creature. Designed and installed by local Chinese architect and artist My Ly.
In addition, food and beverage activations are inspired by the Year of the Dragon, including a specialty cocktail menu in the bar and lounge after 5 pm. View the menu here.
