Accommodations and Conference Venue
Lodging is at our conference venue, the Embassy Suites Atlanta Buckhead, located at 3285 Peachtree Road NE in Atlanta. It is located approximately 1.5 blocks from the nearest MARTA stop (Buckhead Station, which is on the Red Line).
There are conference rates for two types of rooms:
A king suite (king bed with a sofa sleeper in a separate room) is $169 a night plus tax.
A two queen suite (two queen beds with a sofa sleeper in a separate room) is $199 a night plus tax.
AHS has signed a contract for a block of rooms at the hotel that we need to fill to avoid penalties, so your consideration in booking there is appreciated. Any rooms in our block that are not reserved by May 11 will be released to the public.
To book a room, you may call or use the online link. The process for using the online link is not intuitive, so please follow the instructions below carefully. If you prefer to call, the number for Hilton Reservations & Customer Care is 1-800-774-1500. Inform the agent that the group code is “AHS” and the group dates are June 2 – 7, 2026.
Online booking instructions (based on navigation from a desktop computer)
Use this booking link
Scroll down to the “Rooms & Rates” subheading. Within the light blue box you should click the phrase “Visit the booking page,” which is at the beginning of the second sentence (unfortunately, it’s almost the same color as the surrounding text).
That link takes you to a calendar page for May 2026, but you should click just above on “Jun 2026” to bring up the June calendar.
On the June calendar, double-click on your arrival date.
You will be taken to the “Select a Room” page. Near the top, click on the dates next to “Edit Stay.”
On the pop-up calendar, you must first click your arrival date, and then click your check-out date. When the dates of your stay are correct, click the blue “Done” button.
Back on the “Select a Room” page, you may adjust the number of guests by clicking the button just to the right of the dates.
Before proceeding further, you must click the blue “Update” button near the top of the page.
Confirm that your dates are correct at the top of the “Select a Room” page and then scroll to the bottom of the page to find the room options for the AHS block. Click the blue “Quick Book” button below your choice of a King Suite or Two Queen Suite.
That link takes you to the “Payment and Guest Details” page where you will enter your payment and guest information before clicking “Book Reservation” at the bottom of the page.
If you have any booking questions, please call the Hilton Reservations & Customer Care number listed above or email Wayne Anderson at: aghistorysociety@gmail.com
If you are interested in finding a roommate to help share lodging costs, we have created a Conference Roommate Finder. Please click here and fill out and submit the form. AHS staff will share your information in a spreadsheet that will only be made available to those who submit the form. You will then be responsible for making arrangements with someone on the list (AHS only provides the information and does not make roommate matches). After finding a roommate and making your hotel reservation with the booking link, please email aghistorysociety@gmail.com to inform us of the match so we can remove you from the spreadsheet.
