Hotel Accommodations
We will be holding our Convention at the Cherokee Convention Center this year and we have a special rate for rooms at The Cherokee Hotel.
Rooms for Thursday night are about $100, and rooms for Friday night stays are about $300. These rates are similar to other hotels in the area.
We recognize that gathering in Cherokee will come with some increased costs. As a result of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians' partnership with Ceasar's Entertainment, the tribe receives about 60% of all profits, which supports the community by providing funds for education, public safety, and much more.
