HOUSING
Housing for the 2026 AHA annual meeting is now open. Hotel reservations for the 2026 annual meeting should be made through the annual meeting housing website. Exhibitors should click the “Attendee” button to start their housing reservations.

Note: Maritz is the Official Housing Provider for the American Historical Association’s 139th Annual Meeting. Guests who reserve discounted rooms through the AHA housing service will not be charged a daily resort fee, urban destination fee, or energy surcharge, an additional savings of up to $40 per night. Information about housing prices and procedures are posted on the AHA Housing Site.

Book Only through the AHA Housing Service
Do not be misled by outside housing or travel agencies claiming to be the official housing provider for the upcoming AHA annual meeting. Only AHA’s official housing service, Maritz, can book rooms at the AHA’s discounted rate. Unfortunately, unscrupulous providers sometimes claim to provide housing for meetings and conventions when they are in no way affiliated with the sponsoring organization. This practice is a scam that attendees should be aware of in order to avoid passing on personal or financial information. Reservations made by unaffiliated organizations may be illegitimate, not have the rooms to sell, have unreasonable cancellation or change penalties, or be completely non-refundable. Please notify us at annualmeeting@historians.org if you are contacted by any company claiming to provide housing for the AHA.
