Hotels and Motels

Caltech has special discount agreements with many local hotels. The rates quoted here are current as of August 2004, unless otherwise noted, for a standard double occupancy room with 2 beds. If it is a Caltech rate, be sure to mention you are with Caltech when making your reservation.

Athenaeum

1-61, x8200

$95 standard room, suites $150-$175
You need to be a member to make room reservations. Their rates are comparable to the motels around, but they are on campus and you can have a wonderful dinner just downstairs of your room. Get the famous Einstein Suite ($175) if it's available.
