Greetings:

Please help us get the word out! There are now a number of rooms available for delegates at the Renaissance Hotel in Nashville for the 95th International Assembly.

The Renaissance is the host hotel for the Assembly. You may go direct from the Renaissance through a covered passageway (without going on the street) to the Nashville Convention Center and on to the Sommet Center where the general sessions will be convened.

That rate at the Renaissance is $124.00 per night. Please call 615-255-8400 to make a reservation.

The Renaissance is located at 611 Commerce Street in Nashville, TN 37203.

Why are more rooms available now? Just curious if the American economy is causing some people to not attend this year...I have heard of several in my area who have decided not to go due to the economy.

So is it a problem if the Church doesn't book all of the rooms. Is there a penalty or something?

This is probably some of the case....but there's also some of us looking for the $40 a night room instead of the $140 a night room! :wink:

Convention planners typically block off most of the rooms in the "host" hotel. At some point they are usually asked to commit (read:buy those room/nights) or release them for sale.

I know it doesn't seem like it because it's still pricey, but that's actually a great rate for the Renaissance. I've stayed there for years during Gospel Music Week for a special convention rate of over $160 a night.

We block rooms for both North American and International delegates. Rooms not used in our International block have now been transferred to our North American block. This accounts for the room availability.

I am sure the economy has impacted some that planned to attend, but the overall reservations response has been excellent.

Blessings!

I have to admit the view I had at the Renaissance Hotel was awesome.

We were on the 17th floor . The room had a 25 ft floor to ceiling window
that was great.

For a 4 star hotel $150 a night is not bad. (i included the taxes) oops and then the parking $18 a day double oops. then the $13 a day for internet.

Oh well not this year.

FYI - I think there is free wireless in the third floor bridge deli. If you can get a room overlooking the deli, you can possibly piggyback.
