*As of 9/25/08, ALL Hotel Rates listed are tentative and subject to change.
***Rates do not include 14.5% occupancy tax***
When you make your reservation, you will be required to put down a deposit toward your room. In addition to protecting the hotel, it protects the guest and it helps SLA conference attendees as a whole by allowing for better hotel reservations and better room guarantees. Deposits will be about the cost of one night's stay and will be charged at the time of reservation. When you check out of your hotel, a corresponding credit will appear on your bill.

To secure the preferred SLA 2009 rates, you must reserve your accomodations through the official SLA Housing Office.  Individual hotels will not be able to directly offer our special rates.

Please note: Ample hotel accommodations usually are available. Unfortunately, there may not be enough rooms at each property to satisfy every attendee under every circumstance.

  • Individuals requiring special accommodations are urged to note the request on the housing request form. We will make every effort to honor your request.
  • Bed types and special requests are subject to hotel availability and cannot be guaranteed.
  • The majority of hotels are now all non-smoking.
