Hotel Reservations Room Blocks Are Open NOW!! More than 2,000 hotel rooms are available at discounted rates for the 2008 World of Bluegrass events. Rates at some properties are discounted by more than $100 per night.
ROOMS AVAILABLE TO YOU AND MINIMUM STAY REQUIREMENT In order to make this offer to all of last year's Business Conference attendees and to maximize room nights at the host property, we ask that you make reservations only for the rooms you or your company need. Reservations during this time period must also be for a minimum of four nights or more per room at the Renaissance, which is the host hotel connected to the Nashville Convention Center. All other properties DO NOT have a minimum night stay requirement. “JAMMING” AND “QUIET” ROOMS Some hotel properties will allow “jam sessions” on designated floors of their property and only guests assigned to those floors will be permitted to host jam sessions during IBMA events. There will also be accommodations designated as quiet areas, and no jam sessions will be permitted in those areas. Consider your preference when choosing your room type and confirm it when making your reservation. DEPOSITS, GUARANTEES & CANCELLATIONS Each individual will be required to leave a credit card number at the time a reservation is made to guarantee their accommodations. All deposits are 100% refundable if cancellation or changes are made prior to August 25. Any cancellation or changes to room reservations made after August 25, 2008 may be subject to a fee equal to one night's room stay and related taxes depending on the individual property’s cancellation policy.
CONFIRMING YOUR ROOM RESERVATION The Nashville Housing Bureau will email, fax or mail an acknowledgment for every reservation, modification or cancellation. Review acknowledgments carefully for accuracy. You will not receive a separate confirmation from the hotel. Hotels will make every effort to meet your requests for specific room types and locations on a first-come, first served basis. However, specific room assignments cannot be guaranteed.
