Hotel and Conference Facilities

The Hotels and Conference Centers listed below are on contract agreement. They may be used without individual contract or purchase order when booking rooms for guests including meals at the hotel restaurant and/or meeting facilities with or without meals.

When making reservations, please provide the hotel with a copy of the Hotel and Conference Facility Reservation Authorization Form (PDF), which will include your FRS account number, host department name and mailing address, name of guest and dates of stay, and State Tax exemption Status. The rule of thumb is: Any function that UConn Health Center charges admission (i.e., seminar, conference or dinner) is not tax exempt. Only functions that UConn Health Center pays for without collecting revenue from the participants are tax exempt.

All other hotels and/or restaurants engaged for functions require an individual purchase order.

Hotels and/or restaurants not listed may be utilized but will require an individual purchase order. (Guests may use other hotels/restaurants without a Purchase Order provided they pay the charges personally and seek reimbursement through the normal procedures.)

For guests and/or candidates please follow the procedure for completing Guest or Candidate Travel Requests. Please note on the request form that the hotel will bill the UConn Health Center host department directly. All departments are required to process contract hotel invoices so as to allow for payment to be made within 30 days of the invoice date.

Canceling a reservations is the responsibility of the host department. Any costs incurred, by not adhering to the hotel's deadline for room cancellation, will be paid by the host department.

These contracts are valid through December 31, 2009.
