Special Conference Rates

The conference rates are available only through Heritage World Travel, Inc. Reservations cannot be accepted directly by hotels.

Check-in Time

Check-in at all conference hotels is 4:00 pm. However, the hotels will make every effort to accommodate earlier arrivals.

Hotel Shuttle Service

The conference hotels are within walking distance of the L.A. Convention Center. However, CHI 98 will provide free shuttle transportation between the sites. Information will be available in your hotel lobby.

Reservation Confirmation

All conference attendees will receive actual confirmation of hotel assignment directly from the specific hotel by postal mail within 3 weeks of receipt of reservation. The hotel will also send specific deposit requirements and instructions for payment if you did not provide a credit card.

Non-North American conference attendees only will also receive an acknowledgment from Heritage World Travel, Inc. within 10 days. This acknowledgment will indicate which hotel you have been assigned. However, hotel assignment is not final until you receive your specific hotel confirmation. It is recommended that non-North American attendees provide a fax number on the housing form.

If you choose to register for housing online, Heritage World Travel, Inc. will issue a reply message indicating that your form has been received. This reply message is not a housing confirmation.
