Boston in 2004 offers amazingly beautiful, affordable and compact
facilities. The Hynes Convention Center, the Boston Sheraton Hotel, and
the Boston Marriott Copley Place create a fully-connected venue with
enough function and exhibit space, hotel rooms and suites for the entire
Worldcon. Pre-negotiated contracts provide for hotel rates below those of
this year's Worldcon in world-class hotel properties. Just see what we
have to offer:

The John B. Hynes Convention Center, in the heart
of Boston's hotel and tourist district, was the home of Noreascon Two (1980)
and Noreascon Three (1989). This world-class facility, with
360,000 square feet of useful function space, offers incredible flexibility
and a proven Worldcon fit.
To see what it would be like to walk through the Hynes yourself, take the QuickTime Tour. For more information about the Hynes, take a look at the full Hynes Web Site. |
| The newly-refurbished Boston
Sheraton Hotel and Towers directly connects with the Hynes Convention
Center. This spectacular facility offers comfortable, affordable
luxury and elegance.
The hotel boasts 1,181 rooms, 85 suites, and Towers accommodations including butler service! If you thought you knew the hotel before, you should see it after its two-year, $73 million face lift. The Sheraton package will include use of all function space (an additional 60,000 square feet of meeting space and several large ballrooms). Our room rates are $129 flat (single to quad) at the Sheraton (in 2000 dollars), with a maximum of 5%/year inflation rate increases. |

With 1,147 guest rooms, 47 suites, your choice of
6 restaurants, and a full-service health club, the Boston
Marriott Copley Place offers eveything you need to be comfortable while
in the city.
The Marriott is connected to the Hynes and Sheraton by air-conditioned, internal, elevated walkways (past a devastating open-air chocolate store -- you've been warned) a scant 300 yards away. The Marriott package will include use of all function space (another additional 60,000 square feet of meeting space and ballrooms). Our room rates are $129 flat (single to quad) at the Marriott (in 2001 dollars), with a maximum of 5%/year inflation rate increases. |
Our filing papers for the Site Selection of the 62nd World Science Fiction Convention are now online. Since the filing, our room block in the Boston Sheraton has increased to 900 rooms, bringing our total to 1800 between two hotels.
