[edit] Fairmont Chicago
As of June 12, the Fairmont is completely booked.
[edit] Hostelling International Chicago
The HI-Chicago Hostel is at the south end of the Loop. It's a bit of a long walk from there to the conference hotel, but it's still reasonably in the center of town. You can take the subway to get to the Fairmont.
[edit] Hyatt Regency Chicago
Conference planners have negotiated the same $129 single/double rates at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, across the street from the Fairmont. All of these rooms have now also been booked.
[edit] Hotwire.com
I would highly recommend going through hotwire.com to get a hotel room for the conference. Having been to other conferences in Chicago, I have been able to get rates $20-$40 below what the SAA rate is for the conference. As of 06/20, you can get a 4 star hotel in the area of the conference for $109, 3.5 star for $90
[edit] Intercontinental Chicago
After the rooms in the Fairmont and two other overflow hotels were all taken, SAA secured a limited number of rooms at the Intercontinental Chicago at a discounted rate.
For reservations, call 800-327-0200. Reference either “Soc of Amer Archivists” or “booking code EOZ” to secure the special conference rate of $149 per night (single/double).
According to a message from SAA on July 24, there were still rooms available.
[edit] Swissôtel Chicago
SAA negotiated the same conference rate with Swissôtel, which is about a quarter mile from the Fairmont. To make reservations, call the Swissôtel at 888-73-SWISS and mention that you are with SAA’s Annual Meeting to receive the group rate. This hotel is now fully booked as well as of June 18, 2007
