Hotel Warning Alert

Hotel Warning

Reservations which have been obtained through agencies other than the official SABCS® Housing Bureaus (Orchid Events & SABCS IGH) are not guaranteed.

Beware of pirates and poachers!

SABCS contracts for blocks of hotel rooms at discounted rates for the benefit of our attendees. Pirates and poachers not only jeopardize the symposium’s ability to meet its obligations, but also place attendees in danger of increased fees, credit card theft, and fraudulent reservations, often leaving attendees without rooms.

  • PIRATE: A fictitious business, often with a name like “Convention Housing Services.” A pirate will contact faculty, exhibitors, or potential attendees. The pirate claims to be working with the symposium and will pressure you to reserve and pay for a hotel room immediately due to low inventory. They charge your credit card and also collect the information for future use, but no hotel rooms are reserved.
  • POACHER: Hotel poachers, also known as third-party room-block marketing firms, often present themselves as either the official housing agency for a conference or authorized by it to book hotel reservations. A poacher offers hotel rooms outside of the symposium’s contracted block. For the attendee, this will result in higher hotel rates and loss of the opportunity to receive a 15% discount off your symposium registration fee.

If you are in doubt, please do not hesitate to contact us at sabcs@uthscsa.edu or 210-450-1550.

Deadlines

Individual: The deadline to guarantee availability and conference rates is November 13, 2023. After this date, reservations will be made based on availability and hotels may charge higher rates.  

Reserve your room at one of the official 2023 SABCS hotels while discounted hotel rooms are available. All housing reservations must be completed by this deadline to receive discounted hotel rates, so don’t delay! Book your hotel today to secure one of your top hotel preferences. All rates are based on the number of people staying in the room and are subject to a 1.25% Tourism Public Improvement District fee (TPID). Room rates and TPID fees are subject to a 16.75% hotel occupancy tax per night (subject to change). Special requests cannot be guaranteed; however, the hotels will do their best to honor all requests. Hotels will assign specific room types upon check-in, based on availability. Reservations are accepted on a first come, first served basis.

Domestic Group Room Block Requests:
For groups of 10 or more you must complete the online  Group Block Housing Request Form. Once your room block request has been processed, you can access your block through a link you will receive in your confirmation email. It is required that you utilize this feature to manage your group inventory online and submit your rooming list.

If you are choosing one of these hotels, and the room block requested exceeds the permitted rooms at a specific hotel, your block will be split between other hotels. Room blocks are placed upon availability.

Domestic Group Room Block Policies:

  • July 31, 2023: Room blocks may not shift rooms to a different hotel after this date.
