After registering for the conference, contact the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego to make your hotel reservation. Reservations can be made online or by calling 800-233-1234. Mention the National PACE Association to receive the special discounted room rate of $319 plus taxes. The hotel reservation deadline is Sept. 19, based on availability. We recommend you book early as the hotel will sell out quickly. Please do not place multiple rooms in your name as it precludes others from booking.

The registration fee includes three continental breakfasts, five refreshment breaks, site tours of local PACE organizations, a special California Welcome Event and the Opening Night Reception. Additional fees are required for pre-conference symposiums, special luncheons and other activities. Please register in advance for these events. Special meal requests also must be made in advance.
How do I get to San Diego?
The Manchester Grand Hyatt is 3.7 miles (12 minutes) from the San Diego International Airport (SAN). Taxis are readily available outside of the baggage claim areas on the ground level of the airport. The cost of a taxi from the airport to the hotel is approximately $20. Ride app pick-up zones are located on the arrivals level in both terminals. From Terminal 1, exit baggage claim and use the new pedestrian crosswalk, with a traffic light to provide access to Ground Transportation resources. From Terminal 2, use the main crosswalk to Transportation Plaza and find the ride-sharing pick-up area in the second lane on the right.
Is parking available?
Valet parking is available at the Manchester Grand Hyatt for $65 per night. Parking is subject to availability, and pricing may change. Self-parking for hotel guests is $45 per day, or $10 for the first hour and $8 each additional hour.
What is the best way to get around San Diego?
The Manchester Grand Hyatt is located at Seaport Village Station, making it easy to travel across Downtown San Diego using the trolley.
