Hotels
As we get nearer to the date of the conference some hotels may sell out. As APEC becomes aware of a hotel selling out we will make note of it here. It is possible that in the last couple of weeks before the conference a hotel that was listed as sold out may have rooms become available due to cancellations. However one should not count on a hotel becoming available at the last minute. You are encouraged to make your hotel reservations as soon as possible after registering for the conference.

Hotel Scam Alert!
The locations listed above are the only authorized hotels providing official guest accommodations for APEC 2024. If you receive solicitations from any other vendors identifying themselves as an official APEC housing representative, they are NOT authorized to sell guest rooms for the event.
Hotel poachers will claim to be an APEC or IEEE “partner” or the “official housing company” and will sometimes ask that your room be paid in full, in advance. Room poachers often do not deliver on promises to attendees. When guests arrive, the reservations are often unavailable, or the hotels are far from the event location. Sometimes, hefty cancellation charges are billed to your credit card. Poachers often represent themselves as being affiliated with the conference by illegally using trademarked logos.
How to Avoid Hotel Poachers
- APEC is the only authorized resource that provides attendees hotel reservation information for conference hotels.
- Trust your instincts: If the room rate sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.
- If you receive an unsolicited call or email from any company that is not APEC, please obtain the name of the company and contact us immediately at apec@apec-conf.org.
