The White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting has once again drawn attention to the iconic Washington Hilton, a venue deeply tied to US political history. Opened in 1965 with its distinctive double-arc design, the hotel has hosted the event for decades. It also witnessed a major moment in history when Ronald Reagan survived an assassination attempt in 1981. Today’s incident adds another chapter to its legacy.
