Convention Site and Room Rates

The 2009 World Fantasy Convention is being held at:

The Fairmont Hotel
170 South Market Street
San José, California 95113

Standard room rates begin at $130/night for one or two people. See the Hotel Information Page for additional rates and further details about the hotel.

Book Launches, Parties, Etc.

If you plan to host a gathering, be it a book launch, a publishers party, or similar function in your room or in a suite, you must let us know about it in advance so that we can put your room or suite in the appropriate area so we can buffer any noise. See our Suites Information page for more details.

Hosting Events In Your Room or Suite

Even if you plan to host your event in a regular sleeping room rather than a suite, we need you to write to us at the hotel/facilities address above so that we can block your room in the correct area of the hotel. Please let us know of your plans so that we can make it a pleasant and fun experience for everyone.

“Buffer Rooms”

If you don’t mind having your sleeping room near an evening event, and particularly if you are helping out with organizing one, we’d like to hear from you. The volume from talking can get pretty high and a lot of hotel guests — both members of WFC and other people staying at the hotel — are disturbed by noise at night. We need volunteers that we can put between those talking and those trying to sleep. If you’re willing to have us block your room near the rooms/suites with parties and events, write to our hotel/facilities liaison at hotel [at] worldfantasy2009.org.
