University of Illinois Hotel Program
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 and/or paying for the event, and the venue is a hotel.
This includes hotel meeting space contracts and hotel sleeping room contracts with ten (10) or more rooms.
Anthony Travel will handle sourcing the hotels, contract negotiations, and payment for the sleeping room block and/or event. The event planner selects the hotel then works 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 (UIUC Alum), or contact Matt at matthewblume@anthonytravel.com or by calling (708) 348-1270.

Club Quarters Membership
The University of Illinois System is a member of Club Quarters. Club Quarters provides full-service hotels in Chicago, New York, Washington, D.C., Boston, Philadelphia, Houston, San Francisco and London for the exclusive use of members and guests. Club Quarters also provides space for meetings and training programs, including complete banquet services.
The rates offered by Club Quarters are usually lower than the allowable rates. Check the Member Rates document below for seasonal rate information.
State of Illinois Hotel Discounts
The State of Illinois has negotiated rates with many hotels throughout Illinois that are lower than the state maximum lodging allowance. Prior to reserving a room at the maximum allowance, employees should review the State of IL Hotel Listing found on the Illinois Department of Central Management (CMS) website.
To secure a room at or below the state rate, make the reservation as far in advance as possible. If the state rate is not available on a hotel's booking website, call the hotel and identify yourself as a University of Illinois System employee and request the state rate.
Some of the hotels listed on the CMS website will not make a reservation at the state allowable lodging rate. They will only honor this rate after the employee presents their university i-Card at check-in, thereby proving their status as a state of Illinois employee
National Hotel Chains
Many national hotel chains extend discounted rates to government employees. Links to hotel chain websites and toll-free phone numbers are provided. Individual hotels determine if they will offer a government rate and what their requirements are to qualify for it. Discounts vary based on hotel, location, dates, and availability.
