CSPA has made arrangements with some indicated hotels to offer special group rates for the 87th annual Convention. These are not, however, considered the “official” hotels of the Convention. Contact the hotel of your choice directly. It is crucial that you identify yourself as a Columbia Scholastic Press Association Convention delegate when you make reservations. All rooms at all hotels are subject to a N.Y.C. hotel occupancy tax of $3.50 per room or $5.00 per suite/per night plus an additional 14.75% hotel tax.
* A note on taxes: Rates listed below all exclude taxes. School districts within New York State must provide a tax-exempt certificate. New York State law does not recognize tax exemption to public schools outside New York State. All private schools, however, should submit tax-exempt forms directly to hotels of their choice.
