Booking Accommodations

We have secured a guaranteed block of rooms at the Hilton NY at a special rate of just US$267 a night. To book yours, simply click the link below and follow the online process:

http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/groups/personalized/N/NYCNHHH-KIDS-20130201/index.jhtml?WT.mc_id=POG

Or if you prefer to deal with a person, you can call the Hilton NY’s reservation department directly at 212-586-7000, or call the 1-800-HILTONS hotline and quote “Kidscreen Summit.”

The discounted rate will be available until January 23, 2013, based on availability in the room block. Basically, this means that if by January 23 there are still rooms available in the block we have set aside, the hotel will honor the US$267 rate. It also means that if our block of rooms sells out before January, then the hotel will take your booking at their prevailing rate, which will be a lot higher. It’s always best to book your room early to avoid disappointment.
