STC has two official hotels for the 2011 Technical Communication Summit: the Hyatt Regency and the Sheraton Grand. Both are directly across the street from the Convention Center. STC's negotiated room rate for both is $174 (plus tax) for single or double accommodations. You may make your reservations by clicking on the link on the “Hotel/Travel” tab on the conference website (http://summit.stc.org/).
The Hyatt Regency Sacramento welcomes you to the history and charm of northern California. This AAA Four Diamond hotel is situated directly across from the State Capitol. Guests are just steps from the heart of one of the state's most vibrant cities. Within blocks of the hotel are the city's best shopping, restaurants, and theaters. Walk to one of the many landmarks and museums or visit historical Old Sacramento.
At the Sacramento Hyatt hotel, everyone gets the VIP treatment. Fresh from a top-to-bottom renovation, stylish guest rooms, including three presidential suites, now include oversized showers and plush Grand Beds. Savor a steak at Dawson's, or enjoy the California sunshine at Vines Café.
The Sheraton Grand is fresh off a $5 million transformation. Experience one of the 503 transformed guest rooms and stay connected in the renewed lobby's Link@Sheraton experience with Microsoft, a sleek and inviting connectivity hub offering complimentary High Speed Internet Access plus PC workstations and printing.
Located in the beautifully restored historic Public Market Building and situated in the heart of downtown Sacramento, the hotel sits within blocks of the city's best shopping and restaurants. Visit one of the city's historical museums nearby or take a trip back to the gold rush days while exploring Old Sacramento. After a full day, recharge at the fitness facility, open 24 hours. Dive into the heated outdoor swimming pool or simply relax poolside in the comfortable lounge chairs. Choose from an array of upscale California cuisine options at Morgan's Central Valley Bistro or fresh-baked pastries and espresso at Glides Market Café. Guests may also indulge in drinks while lounging amidst the numerous couches and overstuffed chairs at the Public Market Bar. Experience all the historic charm of California's capital city with the Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel.
STC wants you to have the best possible experience when you attend the Technical Communication Summit. Years in advance, STC works hard to negotiate the best rate available for Summit attendees. You will find that staying at the conference hotels will facilitate networking with other attendees and be the least expensive option as well. In addition, when you stay at the Hyatt or Sheraton, you help STC avoid paying penalties for attrition—hotels penalize organizations when they block rooms but do not use all of them, which can lead to higher rates in the future. Thank you for your help in keeping the Summit affordable for everyone.
STC has also attempted to make the Summit a bit more affordable for members, negotiating discounts on airfare, car rentals, and shuttle bus service for those attending the conference. Visit the conference website at http://summit.stc.org and click on “Transportation Options” under the “Hotel/Travel” tab for details on these discounts.
