Important Hotel Reservation Update

February 5, 2008 - The reservation deadline at the Louisville Marriott Downtown hotel has passed.

Sigma Tau Delta has blocked a limited number of rooms at the Hampton Inn Louisville. The Hampton Inn is located at 101 E. Jefferson St. and just 2 blocks from Louisville Marriott Downtown hotel. The room rate at the Hampton Inn for Wednesday night, March 5, is $149.00. The room rate for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, March 6-9 is $119 per night. All rates include breakfast. The Hampton Inn Louisville offers a complimentary airport shuttle— call the hotel when you arrive in Louisville.

There are only a limited number of rooms blocked at the Hampton Inn, so make your reservations as soon as possible by calling the Hampton Inn at 502-585-2200. The reservation deadline is February 18.

If you are unable to make a reservation at either the Hampton Inn or the Louisville Marriott Downtown, here is a list of hotels near the Louisville Marriott Dowtown. We do not have a room block at these hotels, so there is no need to mention Sigma Tau Delta.
