Lodging and Location
We have a block of rooms reserved with special rates for the conference at the Place d'Armes Hotel. A charming collection of buildings surrounding several courtyards with a pool, this historic hotel is located in the heart of the French Quarter and adjacent to Jackson Square. It is across the street from the Cabildo and the Louisiana State Museum, where most of the classes, the lectures and the opening reception will be held. We will also be working on frames for LSM as part of our Community Project. It is also a short walk to the Magazine St. Bus Line which drops us off a block from St. Mary's and St. Alphonsus Churches, where we will also be working.
The hotel has set aside our rooms for five nights beginning October 24 through October 28. Since Friday the 29th and Saturday the 30th are Halloween weekend, they are unable to extend our special rates to those two nights, but when you contact the hotel and wish to include either or both of those nights, you can get special AAA or advance purchase rates.
The rooms are spacious and range from Interior rooms without windows to Junior Suites. All rooms include a deluxe Continental Breakfast each morning. The rates are shown below:
Junior Suites - Singles/Doubles: $169 - Additional Person: $20
Balcony Guest Rooms - Singles/Doubles: $169 - Additional Person: $20
Courtyard Guest Rooms - Singles/Doubles: $149 - Additional Person: $20
Deluxe Guest Rooms - Singles/Doubles: $139 - Additional Person: $20
