Soaring 73 floors above the Detroit River, the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center is a premier city center hotel that rises to meet the needs of business, leisure and meeting guests alike. The hotel's location in the GM Renaissance Center provides guests with easy access to a variety of shops, restaurants and services. And its convenient connection to major downtown attractions by the city's "People Mover" public transportation system makes it an ideal location for Detroit-based meetings and events. Dramatic views highlight guest rooms that are elegantly styled in warm, jewel tones and equipped with business-friendly features like high-speed Internet access. Dining at the hotel's RiverCafe offers something for everyone in a contemporary atmosphere overlooking the Detroit River and Windsor, Canada.

NOTE: the hotel has an official "no ice chest policy" so the food-n-beverage items that you choose to bring with you for "personal consumption" will need to hidden in luggage and so forth so as to not be obvious.

Guest Parking Rates: Valet ($20) and self-parking ($18).  Additionally, there are surface lots in the area for oversized vehicles and cheaper parking rates but you will have to pay for each in-and-out.

NOTE: Why should you stay at the "official" conference hotel:

1. All conference sessions and contests are in the same hotel
2. Easier networking opportunities by being where everyone else is
3. No delay's hunting for a parking space or driving in one of the biggest cities in the country!
4. You can run to the room to change, relax, pickup/drop-off materials "at your leisure"
5. The hotel is centrally located on the Detroit River and on the Detroit PeopleMover elevated rail system which will take you all around downtown Detroit with late night service hours too for shopping, dining, music, theater, shows, sporting events and numerous entertainment venues such as Comerica Park, Greektown, HockeyTown, the Fox Theater, Ford Field and many others!
6. The cost of your hotel room affords the conference to not have to separately pay for meeting space which would translate to higher registration fees
7. Most important of all - your safety.
