HOUSING
Conference Hotels Are Full
The published cut-off date for CHI 99 hotel reservations was 16 April,
1999. The housing bureau is no longer processing reservations.
Currently, the conference hotels are filled over most of the days of CHI
99. Due to local university graduations, the weekend is particularly
booked.
It is possible that some conference hotels may have roooms during the
week of the conference even if the weekends are full. Additionally, as
we get closer to the actual conference dates, sometimes hotel
reservations become available. We suggest that you contact the hotels
directly. Here
are some hotel phone numbers downtown.
Additionally, while CHI 99 cannot recommend any hotels other than the
official conference hotels, you can check the Greater Pittsburgh
Convention & Visitor's Bureau for other area hotels. Please feel
free to call them for reservations.
To Register For Housing
Complete the Housing Form and
mail or fax before 16 April 1999
to GPCVB Housing Bureau (in the printed program the form is located on page 33).
You may also register
at www.chi.visitpittsburgh.net.
Telephone reservations cannot be accepted.
If you are faxing, please
do not mail a duplicate hard copy, as
this may result in multiple reservations. Make copies of the housing form if
additional room reservations are needed.
Special Conference Rates
The hotel conference rates are available
only through GPCVB Housing Bureau. Reservations cannot be accepted
directly by hotels until after the posted reservations cutoff date.
Check-In Time
Check-in at all conference hotels is
3:00 pm. However, the hotels will
make every effort to accommodate
earlier arrivals.
Reservation Confirmation
The Housing Bureau will inform you by fax or e-mail of your hotel assignment.
If you cannot provide fax or email information, you will be notified by postal mail.
A confirmation will follow direct from your assigned hotel. Please be aware that an
advance deposit will be required at the time of confirmation.
Rooms are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Your choice of hotel will be
honored as space permits.
If you choose to register for housing online
(chi.visitpittsburgh.net),
GPCVB Housing Bureau will issue a reply
message indicating that your form has been received. This reply message is
not a housing confirmation.
Housing Reservations Deadline
All reservations must be received by GPCVB Housing Bureau no later than
16 April 1999. After this date, the
conference cannot guarantee that
hotel rooms will be available.
Changes and Cancellations
Changes and cancellations for an
existing reservation may be made
by fax or email to GPCVB Housing Bureau (fax:+1 412 644 5512,
email: housing@gpcvb.org) before
5 May 1999. After 5 May, you must
call your hotel directly. Cancellations must be received a minimum of 72 hours prior
