HOTEL RESERVATIONS

Room reservations should be made directly with the Arizona Biltmore by calling 602/955-6600 or online at www.nmhc.org/goto/SHC12Biltmore.  NMHC has set aside a block of rooms at the group rate of $229 single/double occupancy per night (plus applicable taxes) for meeting attendees, with a cut-off date of Friday, September 14.  Please specify that you will be attending the NMHC Student Housing Conference when speaking to the reservations agent to receive the group rate.

We anticipate selling out our entire room block at the group rate at the Arizona Biltmore.   If you are unable to secure a hotel reservation there, please place yourself on the hotel's wait list and, as a precaution, make alternate hotel reservations.  As rooms at the Biltmore are made available to NMHC, we will work from the hotel's wait list of guests requesting a room.

If your plans change and you need to cancel your reservation there, please contact Melissa Rowan, NMHC Meetings Coordinator, directly at 202/974-2372 or mrowan@nmhc.org before canceling with the hotel so she may reassign your room to another NMHC member on the hotel's wait list, if needed.
