Hotel information
Hilton Knoxville501 W Church Ave,Knoxville, TN 37902, US
The Hilton Knoxville is full on the night of Friday, April 14, 2023. The conference organizers recommend the following:
A shuttle stop is available near the Hyatt, the Embassy Suites, and the Courtyard by Marriott, all of which are located on Gay Street.
We also recommend the Marriott on Henley Street, which is two blocks from the Hilton but lacks a shuttle stop.
Please book rooms in these hotels as soon as possible to ensure proximity to conference events, as well as reasonable rates. Booking in these hotels will not make students ineligible for travel reimbursements. Please email the conference organizers at ans23stucon@gmail.com with any questions.
Get the Group Rate
The conference rate for hotel rooms is $139 with the GroupID code ANSATT. To access the lower student rate, please contact ans23stucon@gmail.com to get the student code.
Please make the subject line for this email,“ * CHAPTER NAME * HOTEL CODE REQUEST ”.
Call Hilton reservations at 1-800-445-8667 or 865-251-8578 and request your GroupID code to make either individual or group reservations.
If the $139 room block at the Hilton fills up, we recommend the Hyatt hotel and Embassy hotel in downtown Knoxville on Gay Street.
There will be a shuttle stop at the Embassy on Friday and Saturday. Those staying at any hotel farther away from downtown Knoxville will be responsible for providing their own transportation.
