Official Host Hotels

While there are dozens of accommodation options, there are six reasons why you should stay at a GFNY partner hotel:

  1. Location: we know what makes sense from a GFNY perspective.
  2. They allow bikes in your hotel room.
  3. You are around other participants for an impromptu training ride or sharing war stories after the event.
  4. We've done the research; all you need to do is book.
  5. The hotels offer discounted rates to you and not a commission to us.

If you don’t see a hotel on our list, it’s possible that the hotel did not want to allow bikes in the sleeping rooms, so if you are booking a non-official hotel, check their offers and policies directly with them.
