Housing Bureau
All hotel reservations must be made through the Greater Houston Convention & Visitor's Center Housing Bureau, NOT directly with the hotel! To insure that your hotel reservation is processed immediately, DO NOT fax housing forms to the Turbomachinery Laboratory or the hotel.
Fax housing forms directly to the Housing Bureau at 713-227-6331.
The Housing Bureau does not take hotel reservations over the phone, but you can call to confirm your reservations at 888-508-5731 or 713-437-5243.
Special Information Regarding Hotels
We ask that you make your reservations at the contract hotel. The Turbomachinery Laboratory has contractual obligations at the hotel. If you make reservations at a hotel outside of the block, the Turbomachinery Laboratory falls short of its obligations and is responsible for paying lost income to the hotel, which in turn means higher registration fees and less benefits for participants. Thank you for your consideration.
