Hotel Information:

The La Cantera Resort & Spa (16641 La Cantera Parkway, San Antonio, TX 78256) is our host hotel for the conference. Rooms in the group block are priced at $305++ per night. Access to the link for submitting your hotel reservation will be provided in your email confirmation upon submission of your online registration. (Your hotel reservation information will not be submitted to the hotel until your registration status is confirmed.) Once the group room block is filled to capacity, registration email confirmations will indicate a wait list status and/or no longer include the hotel reservation link and rooms will only be provided on a space and rate-available basis from that point forward. If you plan to attend and do not secure a room at The La Cantera Resort, we encourage you to secure a reservation in a courtesy block at a nearby venue as soon as possible. Visit the online registration page for this year’s conference to see the available courtesy blocks, reservation instructions and booking deadlines. You may also consider contacting The La Cantera Resort directly near the end of February to see if any availability has opened due to cancellations occurring within the room block for the Annual Construction Law Conference. Also note that additional parking areas are being made available at The La Cantera Resort during the conference to better accommodate drive-in attendance.
