Reasons to Book Inside the Block

Book your hotel through Maritz, the official IBS Hotel Reservation Office to receive the guaranteed lowest rate at some of the best-rated hotels and resorts in Orlando.

Here are some benefits you’ll enjoy:

• You are guaranteed a room. Hotels, like the airlines, "overbook" to compensate for a percentage of no-shows and cancellations. Occasionally, people with reservations might be displaced or "walked" to another hotel, but NAHB has contracted with host hotels to ensure that you will have a room.
• By staying at a hotel within the block, you gain the opportunity to further network with industry peers and remain in the center of the activity surrounding IBS.
• Complimentary bus service to/from the convention center from properties not in walking distance.
• Better networking where fellow attendees are staying.
• The ability to earn points with hotel loyalty programs.
• If you are staying in a non-conference hotel, cab fares, car rental, and the time associated with travel to alternate hotels should be factored and may not benefit as much financially as planned.

Only NAHB staff and Maritz staff will be reaching out to you regarding rooms in the Official IBS Room Blocks. Anyone else who contacts you regarding rooms for IBS does not represent NAHB, IBS or Maritz; and NAHB can’t guarantee the services they offer or assist you should a problem arise with a hotel room booked outside of the block.

If you have any questions, please contact NAHB housing at [email protected].
