Introducing the Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel

 

Hotel Liaison Update!

 

The hotel room block is full for two Queen Beds on WEDNESDAY night only.  We still have about a dozen king bed rooms for Wednesday night.  We still have plenty of rooms of both types for Thursday through Monday nights.  

For those not wanting to share a bed, you can either book a King room for the duration of your stay and get a roll-away, OR book Wednesday night only for the king with rollaway, and make a 2nd reservation for the two queens the remaining nights.  I know this means you have to move rooms, but it is an option.

I hope this helps, and please let me know if you end up doing this so that we can plan on a bigger Wednesday (double queen) room block next year.  Thanks!

Our NEW hotel for Costume College is the Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel, located at 6101 W. Century Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90045

Costume College has moved to a new hotel!  The Sheraton Gateway L.A. is a larger, more spacious hotel, with more classrooms, event space and hotel rooms. Located near the Los Angeles International Airport, the hotel is easily accessed off of  the 405 freeway for those traveling by car and a short shuttle ride (provided by the hotel) from the airport for those flying in. The Hotel offers an outdoor heated swimming pool, a fitness center, restaurant, a full bar and a Starbucks! We are excited to share the new space with you! 

Is it worth staying at the new hotel? Yes! It is absolutely worth it to stay at the hotel for the weekend. Much of your College Experience comes from the spontaneous things that happen during the run of College that are not on any schedule from impromptu discussions in the hallways to early morning chats over coffee before getting in line for Sunday’s Bargain Basement Sale.

Staying at the hotel allows you to:
  • Have a convenient place to change for the social events; Welcome Party, Friday Social, Gala, and/or  Tea.
  • Have a convenient place to store all the stuff you bring to Costume College and all the purchases you make from the Marketplace and/or Bargain Basement.
  • Enjoy the hotel's heated outdoor pool, Jacuzzis, fitness center, cocktail lounge, and restaurant.
  • Be within walking distance of an abundance of restaurants (see Getting Food article in the Registration Book for details);
  • Lets you relax and enjoy the weekend without driving home LATE or getting up extra early to make it to a class on time.
 

Hotel Reservation Information:

Hotel room reservations are made directly with the Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel. Costume College has discounted room rates based on occupancy (see below). To receive the discounted rate, please use the reservation link included in your registration confirmation email. (This link will also be on the Costume College website beginning in April.)  To insure you receive the discounted rate, book your room before June 26, 2023. Please note: any reservations made after June 26, 2023, are subject to availability and at prevailing room rates.

Please do not reserve more rooms than you will actually use.  If sharing a room with roommates please have only ONE person in the room make a reservation. 

Cancellations: Due to the demand for hotel rooms as well as CGW’s fiscal need to ensure that booked rooms stay filled (otherwise CGW is required to pay for them) a non-refundable one-night cancellation fee will be charged to hotel reservations that are canceled after June 26, 2023. 

Costume College has discounted room rates based on occupancy (see below). The discounted rate is good for stays July 25, 2023 through August 1, 2023 based on availability.

Rollaways are available at an additional $10 flat rate per night, for king bedded rooms only (not double bedded rooms).  Please inquire with the hotel for availability; first come, first serve basis.

For those of you planning on hosting guests in your rooms during the evening and into the late night, please try and book a room on the higher floors.  This is to ensure that we are not disturbing any other guests in the hotel, as we will not have an “Entertainment Floor” officially designated.
