What You Should Know Before Reserving Your Room
- Book early. Conference hotels usually sell out of rooms several months in advance of our conference.
- Please be considerate of other conference attendees by reserving only the rooms you need for your confirmed attendees.
- Please be mindful of each hotel’s deadline for reserving rooms at AWP’s discounted rate. After these respective dates, discounted rates will no longer be available to attendees.
- For reservations, contact the hotel directly. AWP does not endorse or use a third-party housing service to help with the reservation and/or sale of hotel rooms during our conference. Attendees who use a third-party housing service to secure lodging at one of our contracted hotels may be engaging in illegal activity.
- If you cancel your reservation fewer than 30 days in advance of your arrival, the hotel will apply a cancellation fee to your reservation equal to one night’s room and tax. If you check out prior to your reserved checkout date, the hotel may apply an early departure fee.
- If you experience issues with website reservations, we recommend that you call the hotel reservations department directly at the number listed below. Allocations of certain bed types may run out through the websites, as the inventory at the AWP hotels fills quickly.
