Hotel & Travel

The National Council of Teachers of English has partnered with Orchid Events to providing housing and negotiated discounted hotel rates for 2025 NCTE Annual Convention attendees. Using the links below, you can review the hotel options, make real-time reservations through our secure hotel booking website, or contact our housing provider by phone, fax or email. 

You must make your hotel reservation through Orchid Events. Hotel reservations are taken on a first-come, first-served, space-available basis. Submit your request as soon as possible for the best opportunity of receiving your hotel choice. 

NCTE’s only affiliated housing partner is Orchid Events. Attendees and exhibitors are encouraged to disregard any communication from other companies as they are likely fraudulent and to reserve your hotel room using the information below. 

Reserving in the group block supports the NCTE community by helping to fulfill contractual obligations to and track our impact on the host city. This helps NCTE negotiate on attendees’ behalf for future years to maintain the lowest possible hotel and venue rates to help keep the registration cost affordable.  

Deadline: All reservations must be received by October 30, 2025, to guarantee availability and our Convention rates. After this date, reservations will be made based on availability and hotels may charge higher rates.
