Hotel Accommodations

We are extremely pleased to announce that in recognition of the 25th anniversary of the RMC, the conference will be held at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel at Dana Point, California.

Come early to unwind on the beach or stay an extra day for a round of golf at one of Orange County's best. CBOE and RMC have negotiated a special room rate which is available, on a limited basis, for Friday, March 6 through Wednesday, March 11.

Located in sunny southern California, half-way between Los Angeles and San Diego, The Ritz is perched high atop a bluff overlooking one of the most picturesque and popular surfing beaches in the world. Always a treat, The Ritz Carlton promises refined elegance, a graceful atmosphere, and impeccable service. 

Hotel Reservations must be made separately from the conference. The hotel rate for the conference is $315 per night.  Hotel and transportation fees are not included in the conference fee.
