Hotel Accommodations
The conference and guest rooms are at the Grand Hyatt San Antonio, 600 E. Market Street, San Antonio, Texas. Our discounted guest room rate is $219 per night until May 13 or the block sells out.
The hotel offers valet and self-parking. Rates include in-and-out parking privileges. The valet rate is $57 + tax for overnight parking. Self-parking is $45 + tax for overnight parking. TAMIO is contracted to receive a 20% discount on self-parking lowering the rate to $36 + tax. This discount is for self, overnight parking only, not day parkers. If the hotel is full of overnight parkers, day parking will “closes.” Day parkers can also park at the Convention Center parking lot across the street that charges a flat $10 daily, parking rate.
Important information on rooms for Tuesday night: Our initial contract included 105 rooms on Tuesday night. Since we have four preconference sessions, we have added an additional 50 rooms. The additional 50 rooms are not at our rate of $219 but at the rate of $269. The first 105 reservations will be reserved at the lower $219 rate. We highly recommend you reserve your room early to take advantage of the lower rate.
