Event Hotel Information

The Pilot Training Reform Symposium will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel near Hartsfield, the main international airport in Atlanta, GA (ATL). This site was chosen for its ease of access for attendees. The address is 1325 Virginia Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30344, 404-768-6660. Room reservation information, including the Group Code for the Crowne Plaza, is provided at the bottom of this page.

The following information may be useful as you plan your arrival and visit:

  • Getting to the hotel from the airport: The hotel operates a shuttle bus which will come by the terminal, so you won’t need a rental car or special transportation. Just look for the hotel bus and it will bring you the 1.5 miles to the Crowne Plaza.
  • Flying in — General Aviation: If you are flying in to ATL by light airplane, the FBO (Atlantic Aviation, 404-765-1300) will charge single engine aircraft the following fees: $40 facility fee, $5 security fee, $6 landing fee, $10 a night parking. The $40 facility fee will be waived if you purchase at least 15 gallons of fuel. For light twins, the fees are: $60 facility fee, $5 security, $6 or more landing fee (they have a list per airplane type), $10 a night parking. You’ll need to purchase 30 gallons to waive the facility fee. Avgas is expensive at $7.70 per gallon at the time of this writing. The FBO does have a shuttle to the Crowne Plaza as well, and if you call when 15 minutes out to let them know you need it, the shuttle will be waiting when you arrive.
  • Alternative Airports: There are other nearby airports available if you prefer, although take note of the hotel parking fee below if you are thinking of renting a car.
  • Parking Fee: There is a charge for parking a car at the hotel. The per-vehicle fee is $9 per day for self-park, $12 per day for valet parking.
  • No Smoking: The Crowne Plaza is a No Smoking facility.
  • Room Rate: The rate for our group is $109 plus tax for either single or double occupancy. Taxes are 7% state and 3% city. Tax rates are subject to change without notice. This room rate is available until April 5th, after which both availability and price revert to the whims of the market.
  • Cancellation Policy:Canceling your reservation after 6:00 PM (local hotel time) on your date of arrival, or failing to show, will result in a charge of one night per room to your credit card. Taxes may apply. Failing to call or show before check-out time after the first night of a reservation will result in cancellation of the remainder of your reservation.
  • Regarding any super low cost room prices you may come across on the internet, the hotel wants you to know the following: THE CROWNE PLAZA ATLANTA AIRPORT HOTEL participates in a variety of internet saver rate programs as mandated by InterContinental Hotels Group. These internet saver rates are not applicable to groups, must be paid in full at time of booking, cannot be canceled or changed for any reason (non-refundable) and have limited availability. Additionally, rates are not typically the same for the duration of your stay. Your group rate takes into consideration these internet saver programs to ensure that it is ultimately the best rate available.
  • Check-in / out Times: Check-in time is 3:00pm. Check-out time is 12:00pm. The Concierge will arrange to hold luggage for those guests attending functions on the day of departure so that they may also check out by 12:00pm to avoid late check out charges.
  • Incidentals: If you plan to pay by cash, a $50.00 deposit is required at check-in for incidentals. This is refundable if not used, but must be submitted at check-in for services. This deposit can be covered by credit card, debit card, or cash.
  • Debit Cards: Please note that if using a debit card, funds are held for 7 – 10 business days by most banking institutions.
