We are based at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel (which is affiliated with the Starwood [Sheraton] chain.) This is an exceptionally well-situated hotel, with a lot of history.

Here's how you make reservations: Either phone the hotel at 800-225-2008 or fax the hotel at 617-457-2610. If you're phoning from outside North America, you must use 617-426-2000 and choose option 1.

Our reservation code is, very inventively, Association for the Sociology of Religion

Or you may make reservations using the following on-line link: http://www.starwoodmeeting.com/Book/ars0726

Our rate is $179 night single/double. Make sure you get a confirmation number, write it down, and don't lose it. If you fax and do not get a reply to your fax, it’s best to confirm by phone.

The deadline for hotel reservations is 29 June, the same as the preregistration deadline, but only a limited number of rooms are available, so reserving early is in your best interest.

If you have difficulty making reservations with the hotel before the deadline, please contact the Executive Office at once (309-932-2727; bill4329@hotmail.com). After the deadline, there’s not a lot we can do to help you.

You can learn more about the hotel on its Website, www.bostonparkplaza.com, but you cannot use the Web site to make your reservations at the ASR rate!
