Dear Delegates,
Chatham-Kent offers a wide variety of accommodation, from the boutique RetroSuites Hotel in the heart of the heritage district of downtown Chatham (a little over half an hour by car from the University of Guelph, Ridgetown Campus) to dormitory rooms right on campus. Bed and Breakfasts range from designated homes to a new log cabin on the Delaware First Nations Reserve. Several options are within biking distance of the university. All but one of our selections has a web site which allows you to see details of the accommodation.
Every listing is known to our Accommodation Committee members. In many cases you will be given a corporate discount when you book as an Ontario Heritage Conference delegate.
If you want further options – including camping or trailor park possibilities please check the Chatham-Kent web site.
