Hotel & Travel Information:
The S14 LAN Playoffs will be at the Double Tree Hilton near the Galleria, and we have setup a discounted room block with the hotel for all competitors and attendees. You can reserve your room at the discounted rate of $79+ tax per night by calling 1-800-222-8733 or Julie Whitten at 972-419-7607 and referencing the "ESL" (Hilton corporate assigns the code...) room block. Reservations can also be made online through our group page. Space in our room block is limited and last LAN some people waited too long and could not get the discounted rate, so I suggest teams make their reservations as they qualify. Reservations must be done by August 1st.

The hotel is blocks from shopping, restaurants, and popular Dallas attractions, and the hotel provides complimentary local area transportation within a three-mile radius.

Check back for discounted American Airlines, Air Canada, Supper Shuttle, and other transportation group discount rates..
