In 2011, Optimists will want to "Be More in Baltimore." And for hotels, there will be more as well -- more options, that is! Optimist International has room blocks in two hotels for the 2011 Convention. Optimists can choose the hotel that best suits them!
Rooms have been reserved as early as June 30 and as late as July 8 for those wanting to arrive a few days before and/or stay a few days after. A dedicated booking website has been created for the event where you are able to make, modify and cancel hotel reservations online, as well as take advantage of any room upgrades, amenities or other services offered by the hotel. To go directly to that site, please click here.

Hotel Reservations*
Hotel reservations for either hotel can be made online. Just click here. Optimists can also make reservations by phone by calling (800) 266-9432.
*The hotels do not require a one-night deposit when booking your room with a major credit card. Payment for all charges will be due upon checkout. It is recommended not to give a debit card to the hotel as they will put a hold on your account for the total amount of anticipated funds due for the entire stay plus incidentals.
