January 5, 2012 – what are the designated ‘CLUSTER HOTELS’ for the 2012 Conference?

We are referring to the hotels at or near the corner of Stone Rd. & Gordon St. in the south end of Guelph, where the University entrance is located.  During the Annual Guelph Conference, there is truly a vast array of Guelph hotel choices for our guests staying in town. However, the 3 CLUSTER HOTELS (those at the University corner, or within a very short walking distance of the Guelph University Centre) tend to get most of the bookings because of their immediate proximity and short walking distance. Also, there are numerous organic amenities offered at these hotels – coffee in the lobby, breakfasts, free samples, etc.

•••

Further note: many local Guelph hotels are contacting us right now to update their 2012 listings and to offer special benefits to 2012 Guelph Conference guests.  As a public service and to encourage you to stay a little longer in town, this info will be posted as soon as it comes in but if you are booking now, do ask your preferred hotel for their “Organic Conference special rates.”

THUS, SOME OF THESE RATES ARE STILL BEING CONFIRMED FOR 2012 EVENT but you can always call them right now to lock in your rate:

These 3 hotels are:
**Delta Guelph

**Best Western Royal Brock Hotel (formerly Ramada)

**Days Inn
