The Chelsea Hotel is located in the heart of downtown Toronto, within walking distance of the Yonge-University subway lines.

Our conference block of Chelsea Hotel rooms has just filled up, but we are happy to help our delegates.

A limited number of Chelsea Hotel rooms are still available on a first-come first-serve basis at the University of Toronto’s preferred rate (from $170 CAD/night; only one room per reservation).
• You may book directly through the Reservations Department by calling toll free at 1-800-Chelsea (243-5732) or 416-595-1975.
• You may also book your room online through the following link: https://gc.synxis.com/rez.aspx?Hotel=59052&Chain=10316&promo=NUNOT (If you experience difficulty with this link or are notified that there are no rooms available, please contact the conference organizers at csecs2017@utoronto.ca)

You will need a credit card to hold the rooms and must cancel by 4pm day of arrival to avoid a no show or cancellation charge.

IMPORTANT: To take advantage of the UofT rate, be sure to ask for the University of Toronto preferred rate AND to present university identification upon check-in (UofT or otherwise). If you do not do so, you will not be granted the preferred rate, which cannot be applied retroactively on the day of arrival.
