Conference Housing
The general reservation block is now open - hotels for All-State Participating Students will open when results come out in early December.
The Peoria Convention and Visitors Bureau is using an online portal to manage housing reservations. This will provide you with up-to-date and detailed information on availability, amenities, pricing and location for participating accommodations.
If you have any questions or issues with your booking process, please email [email protected] for assistance.
A few downtown Peoria and East Peoria hotels are held for Conference Staff and All-State Participating Students/Chaperones but will not be available for general reservations. This has been done to ease the burden of travel on the selected schools and their students. We appreciate your support of these policies and procedures!
