Hotels
The Cloud Forum has reserved a group rate at the Washington Square Hotel, just across Washington Square Park from the Kimmel Center. The hotel has a variety of rooms for $305/night (excluding taxes). Reserve your room at the Washington Square Hotel here to secure the negotiated room rate. The deadline for reserving with the Cloud Forum block at the Washington Square Hotel is Monday, April 7, 2025.
Alternate Hotels
If, for some reason, you are unable to get a room at the Washington Square Hotel, NYU has pre-negotiated discounts with several other nearby hotels. To reserve a room, use the links on this page: https://www.nyu.edu/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/visit-nyu/hotels-discounts.html
Getting to NYU
If this is your first time visiting New York University or New York, note that the three main airports – Laguardia (LGA), John F. Kennedy (JFK), and Newark Liberty (EWR) – have good public transportation options leading to the heart of the city. There are also taxis and ride-shares like Uber and Lyft.
New York University has an excellent page for directions and transportation options to campus. Both the Kimmel Center for Student Life, the location of most Cloud Forum activities, and the Washington Square Hotel are in Greenwich Village bordering Washington Square Park.
Parking
You will not need a vehicle during the Cloud Forum. Everything will be within easy walking distance. Naturally, some may travel to the city by car. The NYU Directions, Maps, and Parking page has parking information at the bottom. Please note that parking in the city is very expensive. There are places just outside the city near the train or ferry that can save you a lot. The links below can help you price and reserve parking near the train terminal.
