Our host hotel, and the site of the retreat, is the beautiful Crowne Plaza San Francisco International Airport in Burlingame. (Click on the hotel name to go to the hotel website.)

The Crowne Plaza hotel is located just 1.5 miles south of San Francisco International Airport on the San Francisco Bay, and 15 minutes from downtown San Francisco. Each guest room offers all of the amenities one expects with Crowne Plaza hotels, including complimentary high-speed Internet access with a work desk and ergonomic chair. Each room also features a new 32" flat panel LCD TV and credenzas. The onsite West Bay Cafe and Lounge offers a relaxed atmosphere providing a pleasurable experience for all.

We have obtained a fantastic room rate $99 single/double plus applicable taxes, plus $10 per person for a 3rd or 4th person. (Per-night rates are subject to state and local taxes and to the tourism assessment fee.) Parking is free for overnight hotel guests and $5 per day for commuting retreatants. To reserve your room, call 800-411-7275.

Important: You must book your room by August 19th and mention the Hooked on Wire retreat to receive the special conference rate.

Travel

Through its two major airports, San Francisco International and Oakland International, San Francisco is served by all the major airlines and by several commuter airlines. (The Oakland airport also serves as an Amtrak hub.)

Note: If your preferred carrier has flights to both airports, it is easier to fly into San Francisco as the host hotel provides a 24-hour complimentary shuttle service to and from the San Francisco airport.

For those who prefer to drive to the retreat, the Crowne Plaza provides detailed directions online here.
