Hotels Information
Main Hotel
While the majority of programming will be held on campus again this year, Technicon 27's con hotel will be the Hilton Garden Inn Blacksburg (HGI).
Late evening programming on Friday and Saturday nights will be at the HGI.
This is a nice new facility only 1.3 miles by road from our campus location; it is in approximately the same location that the old Red Lion Inn used to be. (Note that the images on Google Maps and Google Earth are more than 3 years old, and shows the old RLI rather than the current HGI and housing development.)
"Guests may make reservations by calling toll free to (877) STAY HGI or
locally to (540) 552-5005 and ask for the Science Fiction and Fantasy
Club group. They may also book online at www.blackburg.hgi.com and
enter the group code SCIFAN." (We recommend callng the local number directly.)
Con block rates are as follow:
- Double (queen): $85.00 + 12% tax
There are a limited number of special rooms (smoking, handicap-accessible, single king, etc.) available; you will need to contact the hotel directly.
