APHA will also be using two meeting hotels for sessions and events.

Free shuttle service will be provided from the official hotels to the SDCC.

Each year APHA conducts detailed accessibility surveys (PDF) of all official APHA hotels. These surveys (completed by the hotels) provide information about accessible entrances, parking and drop-off areas and information regarding accessible public ares, guest rooms, meeting rooms, restaurants, hotel amenities and assistive devices. Copies of the survey results can also be requested through access@apha.org or by calling (202) 777-2504. This information is provided to our members and registrants to enable them to select the hotel that best meets their needs. The Online Housing Form also provides specific accessibility information and detailed descriptions of each hotel. Make hotel reservations as early as possible as there are a limited number of accessible rooms available at each property.

Hotel reservations can be made through the Online Housing Form, by submitting the paper Housing Reservation Form (PDF) or by calling the APHA Housing Bureau. All hotel desginated ADA rooms will be specifically set aside for individuals requesting them on the Housing Reservation Form. (reservations can be made online or via fax or phone).
