Bravo to our event planner, who landed this year’s IRDC at the swank, ideally located Parc 55 Wyndham—and at a money-saving rate for IRDCers staying the weekend after the conference.

The 1,010-room hotel sits in the heart of San Francisco’s retail center: across the street from the recently renovated Westfield Centre and just a block or so from flagship central, Union Square.

Even more ideal, the Parc 55 is just a half-block from the cable car turnaround point at Powell Street Station. And if you’d prefer to take a BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) train to/from the airport, the hotel is steps from the Powell Street stop.

Recent renovations produced this new gallery of images on the Parc 55’s website. See also this list of the hotel’s amenities, which include a 24-hour complimentary health club.

It’s all good, including the $149/night group rate we’ve secured for IRDC attendees. You’ll save $50 per night on Thursday and Friday, September 8 & 9. And if you stay the weekend after the conference, you’ll save $120 off the Saturday night rate.

Space in the IRDC room block is limited, so if you’re planning to attend, book your room now.
