Where to Stay: NRC’s Congress & Expo Hotels
San Francisco is always a top worldwide tourist destination and the Annual Congress & Expo is being held the week before Labor Day. We encourage you to come the weekend before the Congress and stay through the holiday. No matter the length of your stay, please make your hotel reservations as soon as possible to ensure availability.
NRC has arranged special discounts for Congress attendees at the Hilton San Francisco, San Francisco Marriott and the Courtyard by Marriott. The deadline for reservations at all three hotels is August 6, 2004.
These hotels have agreed to abide by NRC’s “green” policies. The NRC hotels not only offer great amenities, reasonable room rates, and the best networking opportunities, but staying within the NRC room block will help us meet our obligations to the hotels, avoiding penalties and allowing us to keep our registration prices down.
NRC has chosen the Hilton San Francisco as the headquarters hotel for the 2004 Annual Congress & Exposition due to their commitment to the environment. The Hilton San Francisco has been a leader in recycling diversion for reuse and donation and in organic waste recycling for composting. They have won the commercial recycling award from the San Francisco Department of the Environment and are the only hotel in the country with a full-time Community Projects Manager. We encourage our Congress attendees to support their environmental efforts by staying at this hotel. A tour of the Hilton’s recycling, organics recovery and reuse program will be part of our optional tours.
