Tampa 1999 -- Beautiful Water & Perfect Weather Await You
by
Art Schwartz, University of South Florida, ARES Meeting Planner & Past President

The 1999 Annual Meeting will be held April 7-10 at the beautiful Hyatt Regency Westshore in Tampa. This deluxe, waterfront property is conveniently located near Tampa International Airport and is situated on Tampa Bay. Over half of the exquisitely furnished rooms in the hotel have spectacular waterviews. The illuminated bridges across Tampa Bay as well as the high rise buildings surrounding Tampa Bay provide delightful nighttime viewing. I recommend the slightly pricier bayview rooms as the views are fantastic. You'll want to bring your spouse or significant other to this hotel as its elegant rooms and its exquisite setting will provide a romantic enhancement to any relationship.

 

The hotel has numerous recreational amenities including two large swimming pools as well as a first rate health club. The Hyatt's restaurants are award winning and include the elegant Northern Italian cuisine of Armani's as well as the casual seaside seafood offered at Oystercatcher's. You will find that this deluxe urban resort has surprisingly numerous amentities that will greatly enhance your stay.

 

The Hyatt Regency Westshore was the first recipient of the Florida Audubon Society's Corporate Award for Environmentally Sensitive Development. The wetlands surrounding the property have been carefully preserved and many birds such as Egrets and great Blue Herons are there for you to view.

 

The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle from Tampa Airport. Call from the hotel's free phone at Tampa Airport baggage claim for the free shuttle. If you are driving to the meeting or renting a car, you'll be happy to know that parking is complimentary in the Hyatt Regency Westshore's covered garage.

 

ARES has reserved two room categories, bayview at $165/night and cityview at $150/night. The bayview rooms are a must for waterview lovers and will sellout fast. Reserve your room now by calling Hyatt at 800-233-1234 or the hotel directly at 813-874-1234 or fax 813-281-9168. Please make your reservation by February 15 and if you must cancel, please do so before March 1 so that ARES does not lose the space.

 

ARES has arranged special meeting airfares on Delta Airlines. Call Delta's Meeting Network at 800-241-6760 and refer to file number 112425A. If your travel agent books your ticket, please ask him/her to refer to that file number when ticketing as that would be very helpful to ARES. Delta has many excellent connections into Tampa from virtually everywhere.
