Reservations for 2027 rooms at the Hope Hotel will open June 15th, 2026 at 9:00 am EDT.  

Do not call them before that time. You can get room reservations by phone only. If you try to book online, you will see that there are no rooms for those dates. Every room in the Hope Hotel has been blocked for Contesters and DXers for Hamvention week.  Starting Monday, June 15th, 2026 at 9 AM EDT, you can call 937-879-2696 and ask for a reservation in the Contest University 2027 room block. There is no minimum night commitment. The room rate is $161 per night plus tax and that includes a hot buffet breakfast each day of your stay. The room rate is the same for a single queen, two queens or a single king. 

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday night, May 19th, 2027 for the first night of the 2027 Contest Super Suite at the Hope Hotel.
