THEATRE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
SYMPOSIUM
HOTELS IN THE AREA OF LINCOLN CENTER
Regarding hotel rates, please remember that all hotels have what are called “rack rates” which they will often discount to get you to stay. However, these rates vary dramatically depending upon the season you are planning your visit. The fall season unfortunately is a prime hotel season and bargaining may be difficult. As the result of so many variables we have not included an exact rate for the listed hotels but rather a price range which is certainly not a set rate.
Also, you might also wish to check with the hotel reservation agencies below which buy blocks of rooms in advance and offer them to buyers at discounted rates. Below is contact information for several:
