The University of Illinois’ new travel management company, Anthony Travel, offers a managed Hotel Program for contracting group sleeping room blocks and meeting space at hotels throughout the U.S. and internationally.
Units may utilize the program when the University of Illinois would be the organization responsible for signing the contract, paying for the event, and the venue is a hotel.
This includes hotel meeting space contracts and/or hotel sleeping room contracts with ten (10) or more rooms.
Anthony Travel will source the hotels, and handle contract negotiations and payment for the sleeping room block and/or event. The event planner will select the hotel and then work directly with the hotel on the logistics of the event.
Units may complete an Event Questionnaire and submit it to our dedicated Hotel Program Manager, Matt Blume (UIL Alum), or contact Matt at matthewblume@anthonytravel.com or by phone at (779) 216-4007.
Anthony Travel is also developing a portfolio of university-preferred hotels and rates to be offered through iTravel or one of our dedicated travel consultants for individual room reservations.
Requests for 9 hotel rooms or less per night should be sent to UILtravel@anthonytravel.com.
Additional information can be found on the Hotels and Lodging page of the Business and Finance website under Hotel Discount Programs.
