Hotel Arrangements Linder will make hotel reservations for the three official student presenters, educator, and mentor at the Capital Hilton. Please do not contact the hotel to make a room reservation for the five official team members. If your team chooses to arrive earlier or stay later than the scheduled Finals dates, you are responsible for the cost of the additional nights. You may make your own reservation at the Hilton or make alternate accommodations for those nights that are not paid for by Future City. Official Team Room Assignments Student team members will be placed in rooms with two double beds. The educator and the mentor will each be placed in a room with a king, queen, or two double beds (based on availability). No special room requests can be honored. If the educator and mentor are married to each other, they will be assigned one hotel room. Single gender teams (e.g., 3 boys or 3 girls) will be assigned one room with two double beds. Mixed gender teams (e.g., 2 girls and 1 boy, or 2 boys and 1 girl) will be split based on gender. This may result in the single boy or girl being placed in a room with a student of the same gender from another team. In such instances, the hotel will make every effort to house the two impacted individuals on the same floor and hallway as their teammates. If a team does not want a student to share a room with a student of the same gender from another team, the team must notify Linder no later than 2 weeks prior to the team s scheduled arrival in Washington, DC. In such instances the student or team (whoever is the responsible party) will pay 50% of the cost of a single room ($ per night % tax), which is $ per night (including tax). Future City HQ must receive full payment no later than 1 week prior to the team s scheduled arrival in Washington, DC. Check or credit card (Visa or Master Card only) accepted. Payment instructions will be sent via to the educator with an invoice. Upon arrival at the hotel, the educator or mentor will be responsible for checking in the official team at the Front Desk. Friends and Family Hotel Accommodations If family members, friends, or student team members beyond the three official presenters, are accompanying the team, they must make their own hotel reservations. Family members and others accompanying the team are welcome to stay at the Capital Hilton and to take advantage of the Future City group rate of $ per night plus tax of 14.5% while room block supply lasts.
