Reservations
The IABC group room block is sold out due to a high number of early registrations. Before booking reservations at an alternate hotel, we recommend calling the Hilton directly and mentioning group code INA to find out if there have been any openings due to cancellations. A first night’s deposit is required to guarantee the reservation. The deposit is refundable if the reservation is cancelled three working days or more prior to arrival and a cancellation number is obtained.
To find alternate hotels near the Hilton, try online booking web sites such as www.kayak.com or www.expedia.com. The Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers is located only a block from the Hilton.

Club Quarters has several locations in New York City and the Rockefeller Center location is closest to the New York Hilton, three blocks away.
