Hotel Reservations
Sorry, but the hotel group rate is sold out and is no longer available. In fact, there are just 13 rooms available at the New Haven Hotel as of Wednesday evening, 25 September 2019. These remaining rooms are at the regular rate, not the UAV group rate, but you may be able to get a slight discount if you are a AAA member. If you have not already booked your room, you should do so immediately!
There are other hotels nearby if the New Haven Hotel is booked, but the rates may be higher. A few within walking distance of the New Haven Hotel include the Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale and the Blake Hotel, but these are more expensive than the conference hotel.
