Venue and Lodging
Overlooking San Francisco’s scenic salt marshes, the Burlingame Hyatt is a sleek, upscale hotel with expansive San Francisco bay views. This beautiful hotel features a spacious airy atrium with cozy meeting areas, a heated outdoor pool and whirlpool, 3SIXTY Bistro, and StayFit™ Gym that is open 24 hours a day. A complimentary shuttle is available to and from the San Francisco International Airport as well as a complimentary trolley service to Downtown Burlingame.
Why stay at the venue? In order to continue to bring quality instructors to CNCH conferences and to keep the costs reasonable, we offset the cost of the venue by committing to a certain number of hotel rooms booked by our conference attendees. We ask that you choose to stay at the Hyatt to help us meet our contracted number of rooms and support the continuing success of CNCH.
There are many other advantages to staying on site, among them:
- informal sharing of ideas & techniques outside of the class rooms
- socializing with other fiber enthusiasts and artists
- having a place to go to between conference events
- staying out of local freeway traffic
- avoiding the $100 off site fee
- getting the most from your conference experience
It is important that you book your hotel room through the link from the CNCH registration confirmation message or by using this link. This will ensure you receive the discounted hotel rate and we get credit for your registration.
