Hotel Accommodations

Designs on e-Learning has proudly selected the Holiday Inn Resort Wrightsville Beach for our conference guests. When not on campus in the conference you can enjoy Wrightsville Beach just outside the hotel doors. Transportation will be provided each morning and evening between the hotel and the conference site on the UNCW campus. A direct link to the hotel has been provided for booking our conference rate which will  (e-booking link) take you directly to the hotel’s reservation web page already pre-populated with our special group code.

**** Please note that the special group rate  for the conference ended August 12th!****

You can enjoy the convenience of confirming your room reservations online, at the group-negotiated rate - 24 hours a day. If you wish to extend your stay outside of these dates, you will need to book a separate reservation on the website or contact the hotel directly at Holiday Inn Resort Wrightsville Beach using the toll free number: 1-877-330-5050

 Should you call the hotel, please refer to the Designs on e-Learning conference or to group code “CTE”.   There is someone in the Reservations Department from 9 am - 9 pm Monday - Friday, EST and between 10 am - 6 pm on Saturday & Sundays.  If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact: Amy Cameron at the Holiday Inn Resort Wrightsville Beach (WRGNC) (+1) (910) 2562231 Ext: 112 acameron@wrightsville. holidayinnresorts.com

****Please note that the Holiday Inn no longer has rooms for the night of the 10th of September. We are suggesting that our guests contact the Blockade Runner, which is also located on the beach, a few blocks to the south. The phone number for the Blockade Runner is (910) 256-2251. You may also call directly and speak with Whitney Sprat at  (910) 256 7115, especially if you wish to stay into the weekend at the special rate. In either case, be sure to mention UNCW and Designs on e-Learning conference.
