Book a Room

Balticon has worked with the Renaissance to secure a discounted rate for our guests. If you book through our room block, you are guaranteed a rate of $155.00 per night (plus taxes) for either a King Bed or Double Queen room.  The block deadline has been extended beyond May 5, but the hotel has not provided a new closing date, so book soon!

To make reservations by phone, in order to get the discounted rate, please use the dedicated toll-free Group Reservations phone number: 1-877-212-5752. The Group Code is BALTICON 2023.

Once booked in the Balticon Block you can use the same link or phone number to manage your stay. If you decide to cancel your room reservation for any reason, remember to do so more than 72 hours before check-in to avoid a fee. Note: once you are in the room, you may extend your stay an extra day by calling the front desk.

Hints for using the online reservation webpage

Special Requests: If you have any special requests for your room such as accessibility, bedding, cribs, these can be entered in the special requests text box.  This is on the page where you add your address information, underneath the address fields. Also send special requests with your name and reservation confirmation number to hotel@balticon.org and we will tell the hotel from our side to pay maximum attention to your request.

Saving Your Receipt: If you want a printed receipt: on the Receipt Page, hit the print link before you move past that page. In addition, once the booking is processed, the system will send an email receipt to the email address you provided.
