Booking Information
The 2016 Tabernacles Conference is being held at the Double Tree in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Please ignore anything having to do with "logging in" on the website. The sign in boxes are for our admin, and not for room booking purposes.
You can also call the Double Tree at 952-542-8600 to make room reservations. and be sure to give them our Group Code: GKK.
We have secured special pricing for the special rate of $125/day. You may choose either a king-size bed or two doubles. The site allows you to make up to 5 reservations at a time, but it is not likely that any of you will need that many separate room reservations.
Update: All special room rates have been filled. Any future reservations will only be available at the standard rates.
It is a little expensive, but this is because there is a big Vikings-Packers football home game that week end in Minneapolis, and hotels will soon be packed out. Virtually all of the hotel chains raise their prices to close to $200/night on such occasions, so they are reluctant to give cheaper reservations to anyone. Then, too, it is also a very nice hotel in a good location with shops and restaurants nearby, as many of you already know from being there before.
Shuttle Service
The hotel has shuttle service but only for a five-mile radius. Unfortunately, the airport is more than five miles away. You may take the train from the airport to the downtown area, where the hotel shuttle can meet you; or just take a taxi to the hotel.
About The Conference
This conference is somewhat early, because it is the only available time before Thanksgiving in late November. Then I realized that September 18 is the first day of Tabernacles on the Roman church calendar, since they celebrated Good Friday on March 25th. The Jewish calendar called for a “reset” month (2nd Adar), so they celebrated Passover on April 23rd. Neither calendar is based on a formula that is necessarily correct, so I don’t want to be a slave of either system. But as it worked out, the availability of the hotel conference room decided the issue for us.
