GSA has negotiated special hotel rates for GSA 2019 attendees. We appreciate your support by staying in the official GSA hotels; your patronage enables GSA to secure the meeting space at a greatly reduced cost, which in turn helps lower the cost of the meeting and your registration fees.

Orchid.Events (OE) is GSA’s only official housing company for this meeting. To be included in the GSA room block and receive GSA rates, you must make your reservation through OE. Reservations are taken on a first-come, first-served, space-available basis. We recommend that you make your reservation early for the best opportunity to get the hotel of your choice.

Renovations at Sheraton Phoenix Downtown started in June 2019 and will be ongoing through GSA 2019 Phoenix.

Currently the lobby (1st Floor) is the main entrance to the hotel located at the front drive. Valet parking, bell stand and concierge services will all be located on this level. Hotel check-in and front desk services will be on the 2nd floor of the hotel in Deer Valley room. The restaurant/ bars will be relocated on the 4th floor where the Cove Restaurant and Lounge will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner with buffet service. The Breeze Bar will also be open with expanded seating and a menu for refreshing cocktails, and small plates/appetizers. The Sheraton will still have 24-hour room service available.

Renovations to guest rooms started Memorial Day and will be ongoing and completed by January 1, 2020. No guests will be placed on the floors that are being transformed and there is a buffer floor above and below the floors that are undergoing renovations. Thank you, and please contact GSA Meetings at meetings@geosociety.org with any questions.

Additionally, please note that the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown was recently renamed. It was previously known as the Sheraton Grand Phoenix.

The Hyatt Regency Phoenix is in the process of a $40 Million Hotel Renovation.

The plans will encompass the Meeting Space, Public Space, Pool, Hotel Restaurants and the Sleeping Rooms. The renovation began late last year and will continue thru the balance of 2019. We have planned effectively to ensure your stay will minimally impacted.

The Restaurant on the first floor (NETWORKS) will undergo a transformation and will reopen in December as BARREL AND BUSHEL. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner will be served from the COMPASS Restaurant, located on the 24th floor of the hotel during your visit. Grab and go items will be available at MARKET located in the main lobby and opening at 5:30AM daily. The HYATT will have a Lobby Bar, located near the market and will open at 3:00PM daily.

The Front Desk is being moved to the middle of the Lobby on the First Floor as you enter the hotel and is scheduled to be complete prior to the GSA meeting dates. The pool will be closed during our meeting dates but arrangements have been made at the Renaissance if you have time in your schedule to enjoy the sun.

The renovation work will take place during day time hours and conclude at 5PM each day. All construction associates will work inconspicuously.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Hyatt Regency Phoenix.
