The official hotel of the 2025 conference is the Holiday Inn Express & Suites at 1036 Woodruff Rd in Greenville, South Carolina. This modern hotel is beautifully appointed and freshly renovated. Over half of the rooms on the property are suites rooms!

Pictured is a two-queen-bed hotel suite, with a small sitting room in the foreground, including a sofa and coffee table.

We’ve arranged special rates for the conference:

  • 1 King or 2 Queen Standard Room: $134 plus tax and destination fee
  • 1 King Bed Studio Suite: $139 plus tax and destination fee
  • 2 Queen Bed Studio Suite: $144 plus tax and destination fee

With all guest rooms, parking is free if you’ve driven in for the conference, there is free wi-fi included throughout the facility, and a hot breakfast buffet is included for all guests.

An exercise room; in the foreground are two treadmills and an elliptical running trainer; other exercise equipment is around the room.

The hotel has a great exercise room and indoor heated pool and spa available, as well!

A large indoor pool is surrounded by tables and chairs as well as chaise lounges.

If you’d like to stay before or after our reservation block, which runs from Thursday night to Sunday night, please get in touch with the conference organizers! The hotel team has said that the special rate can be extended before or after for your room, and also set up so you won’t have to move due to other bookings. Send your request for that to ruth@perlfoundation.org as soon as you know that you’d like to stay beyond the block’s boundaries.

Reservations can be placed online in our block by following this link, or by calling the hotel directly at 864-678-5555, option 4 and be sure to give the reservation block name of The Perl and Raku Conference.

Reserve your room now! The conference block could easily fill up, and it may or may not be possible to expand it. Also, the block closes on May 15, so last-minute reservations won’t be in the block, and will be at regular rates and availability!
