Announcing: BlogHer '12 Hotel Accommodations!

It's here, it's time: Book your hotel for BlogHer '12 today!

Here are the details:

  • The room rate is $229.00 per night single or double occupancy
  • In-room internet is included in the rate
  • You can book online here
  • You can book by calling in 1-800-HILTONS reference BLOG to get the BlogHer rate

Veterans of BlogHer conferences may notice the per-night room price is higher than the last few years by about 15%. Although the rate is higher than last time at the Hilton, it is significantly lower than the prevailing rates in New York right now because we do make it our top priority to negotiate the lowest room rates we can, and we are able to do so because of the large size of our room block.

Remember, in-room internet is included!

As always, if you have any questions, let me know.

I am hoping, as always, that the team will keep us informed if rooms are booking up. We just listed our house (WOO!) and I'd like to wait a month or two before I throw the deposit into the mix of craziness that has become our lives!

See you in NYC!

KarenLynnn Whichever has the cheapest flight. Unless you just really hate one airport over another, (and I do but not enough to only fly into the one I prefer if there's a flight that's $100 cheaper.)

The only thing I would hesitate about would be to fly to Newark. Unless you're taking a lot of extra time in NYC before/after the conference, I don't think the travel time between Newark and the city is worth saving $100 on a flight.

If I want to help defray the cost by rooming with another blogger, is that something I would have to arrange on my own, or is there some kind of official forum where everyone who wants a roomie can pool together?

$229 in Midtown is dirt cheap, conference or no. I thought it was a very nice hotel. Already looking forward to it.

The Hilton was nice back in 2009. But after the Marriott Marina in San Diego, I'm pretty spoiled. Boy that was a lovely place, especially if you had a harbor view. Recommending it to all my friends who are traveling to SD.

That's still cheap. I'm driving out, I think my parking might be right around the same too! Thats the worst part.

<3 Thanks Denise <3 I ended up calling back to speak with a manager. I was transferred to 5 different people but eventually got the manager on the phone. To my surprise, he knew exactly who I was talking about when I explained the vents that had just transpired. Eek!

I went to book my room and at checkout, noticed that there is a deposit of almost $300 that they pan on charging today. I tried calling the Hilton to discuss this as there's no deposit charged if you book directly from their site and I was just treated like complete dirt!

This woman was EXTREMELY difficult to understand and patronizing.

She basically said there's nothing she can do because that's an agreement between BlogHer and the hotel, then she tells me to give her my CC info to see if i'm charged (which we both know will be a yes) so I told her no. So she goes "well why do you call hotel management and tell them that you wanna reserve a room but have no money", in a very condescending manner. Not a great way to welcome people who are paying you for a service!
