⚠️ Please be vigilant about room offers or people "selling" rooms on social media or on other platforms. There is absolutely no guarantee these are real, and you are likely being scammed. You can only get a guaranteed room through Anthrocon's hotel block link. (2/2)
🏨 A note from our housing provider: Orchid Events can only help extend reservation for shoulder nights (not main nights). If your reservation does not already include the peak nights (July 2-4), they may not be able to help extend your reservation. (1/2)
Many of our hotels are now sold out, including the "preferred" hotels such as the Westin, Courtyard and Drury. There is availability at other hotels serviced by our transportation. #Anthrocon
Cancellations may happen; check back later if you are looking for a different room!
That is correct. Only pre-registered attendees may book a room. If you register after March 11, the booking link will be found through the registrationg system's "Hotel reservations" menu.
We're not sure why that integration is not displaying properly, as we still have hotel availability at other properties. Our team is looking into it, thanks for calling it out!

To allow for fixes and recovering the Supersponsor block, the General hotel block opening is postponed to March 10, 2026 at 12pm ET.
Full announcement: www.anthrocon.org/news/anthroc...
We will have more information on the impacts to General hotel block opening date as part of an update coming within this week.

We are actively looking into the performance issues on our booking platform and resolving it ASAP. However, we've heard that customer service reps are being treated disrespectfully and cussed at. Please be kinder to those trying to assist you. #Anthrocon
