Hotel Information
Arisia '10 will use three hotels. All functions and parties will be at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge ($123/night). The overflow hotels will be the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel ($99/night) on Memorial Drive in Cambridge near the Trader Joes and Le Meridien ($89/night) in Central Square. There will be shuttle bus service between the Hyatt and each of these two hotels.
Rooms at the Hyatt
Arisia has blocked all available rooms at the Hyatt, but please be aware that the hotel and the restaurant are still open to the general public. The following room types were available at the Hyatt: King - one king-size bed; Queen - one queen-size bed; Double - two double beds. All regular rooms are $123 per night plus 14.45% tax.
We have an Active block (noisier, but closer to parties, atrium, and elevators) and Quiet block (rooms further away from the atrium and parties), both of which are arranged to include all types of rooms. Note that due to the layout of the Hyatt, the quiet/active blocking is not done by floor.
Make reservations at the Hyatt reservation page for our event. You should receive an email with an acknowledgment and a confirmation code. Save this information.
Rooms at the Courtyard by Marriott
Rooms at the Courtyard are $99 per night plus 14.45% tax. A shuttle bus will run between the two hotels.

Please request these through the Hotel Request Form. We will be giving the final list of requests to the hotel on December 1, so get your requests in soon!
Suites
Suites at the Hyatt are very limited and will be allocated in November. Please send mail to hotel@arisia.org by November 1 if you are interested in reserving a suite. If you can let us know how you plan to use the suite, that will be helpful with placement and also allow us to suggest alternatives in case a suite does not become available. Suites are $239 per night for 1br, or $363 per night for 2br, plus 14.45% tax. All 1br suites have King beds. All 2br suites have one King room and one Double/Double room. None of the couches in any of the suites fold out.

Connecting Rooms
All connecting rooms in the hotel connect from a room in one block to another room in the same block. No more than two rooms connect anywhere in the hotel. Rooms in the quiet and smoking blocks connect through a shared foyer. Rooms in the active block connect directly. Please make your reservation for two rooms, then send mail to innkeeper@arisia.org with your confirmation numbers for both rooms before December 1 to request a connecting door, subject to availability.

If you would like your reservation to be placed on a low floor, be close to the Staff Den, or be close to children services, please use the Hotel Request Form to let us know.
