NEW FOR ARISIA 2017: The Westin will charge a non-refundable deposit equal to one (1) night's stay (plus applicable taxes) on December 13th, 2016, roughly one month prior to the convention.  This deposit will be applied to the final room bill.  To cancel a room without having to pay the deposit, you must contact the Arisia Innkeeper by December 9th at innkeeper@arisia.org.  This deposit policy applies only to reservations made at The Westin, the primary convention hotel, and not the overflow hotel(s). 

All rates are for all occupancy levels, but no more than 4
people may stay in a room. 

If you want a room on Saturday, you will also need to book
Friday or Sunday night for a two night minimum.  If you want a single
night that is not Saturday, you will need to make a
reservation for two nights and then fill out the special
request form. 

Rooms include free in-room wireless internet. 

Reservations may be made from Thursday Jan 12th through Monday
Jan 16th.  If you would like a room outside of those dates,
make a reservation and use the Special Request form to request a
change to your reservation dates. 

If the reservation system says no rooms are available, try changing your arrival date (e.g. Friday instead of Thursday). 
If that works, fill out the Special Request form and
request the desired arrival date. 

For any special requests, cots (not available in double-double
rooms), accessibility, location, etc.  please fill out the
Special Request Form as described below.  Any information
entered into the hotel reservation page will not be honored. 

The only way to reserve a hotel room for Arisia at the Westin, is
to book it through Arisia.  If you call their 800 number or use the
public Westin website, you will be told that rooms are not
available.
