Accommodation

Update

Accommodation is full

Just before Easter we maxed out the accommodation in the Mohawk residence. There are no more blocks to be added, as there are no more rooms available. For a short while the Mohawk residence was showing up on Hotels.com but all of those rooms are also now full. 

I visited the college and the specifically the residence after Easter this past Tuesday to double check on the room situation, and everything is full. Unless there are any cancellations from another group, or the general public (as there rooms are available through booking services) other accommodations will need to be explored.

I called a nearby hotel that was suggested by the manager of Mohawk residence to see about a group deal for our ringers. The best they could do for our dates was $225/night. By using Hotels.com I was able to find better rates, so I did not opt to arrange for a group contract.

 

Options

  1. Keep trying back at Mohawk College Residence through our accommodation webpage. If there is a cancellation then the code we have will still work until May 15, 2025. Please look over the information below and then click the link in the Reserve Online area below.
  2. Explore either Hotels.com or Travago. If you search Mohawk Collegeor 135 Fennell Ave W, Hamilton Ontario you get hotel listings close to where the festival is taking place. Below is a map showing where Mohawk College is located in Hamilton. 
  3. Choir directors, possibly you can ask your ringers if there is anyone staying in a room by themselves. All the rooms at the residence are private double rooms. Someone might be willing to share the suite. If so, please email festivalchair@ogehr.ca
  4. AirBnB - This link takes you to AirBnB set to Hamilton for June 5th to 7th. AirBnB


Your accommodation is booked directly with the Mohawk's Residence & Conference centre. All the suites are the same, two bedrooms and a kitchenette. The price is per suite, per night.


Important

Each booking reserves a two-bedroom suite, which accommodates up to two participants. Only one person needs to make the booking for the suite. The system will not match you with a suitemate—it is your responsibility to find someone to share with and coordinate payment arrangements directly with them.

Deadline to book accommodations: Thursday, May 15, 2025 (Or until all the rooms are gone!)
