Lodging

The following hotels are holding blocks of rooms for the workshop. The prices listed below are per-night rates before taxes and fees. Reference the group Southeast Horn Workshop when booking for these rates. A credit card is required at time of booking to secure the reservation. Reservations will be held until hotel check-out time the day following arrival. All reservations are subject to 11% (or current) tax charge and fees per night. Reservations not canceled by 6:00 p.m. hotel time within 45 days of check-in will be charged the first-night room and tax.

If you book after February 1, 2019, Southeast Horn Workshop or Western Carolina University School of Music cannot guarantee the discounted group rate, or if the hotel sells out prior to this date. Come early and stay late! Group rates will be available from March 14–18 (subject to availability).

The David Orr Belcher College of Fine and Performing Arts works to negotiate the best possible hotel room rates and recognizes the importance of fulfilling our obligations to our hotel partners. The best way to experience the conference is to be in the heart of it all at the conference headquarters. We appreciate everyone’s support in booking with the official Southeast Horn Workshop conference hotels at WCU.
