The History

You’ve come to know TMO as the place where you can find hotel deals for both Macworld Expo and WWDC. This year we’re here again for you, but the deal is a little different.

Long-time TMO readers and podcast listeners know that for this year’s WWDC we experimented and moved our hotel deal from The Hotel Milano to The InterContinental San Francisco. The results didn’t surprise anyone: we all loved the change. The InterContinental is a step up in every way, most importantly the high-speed Internet was, well, high-speed, and it’s less than 300 steps door-to-door from The InterContinental to Moscone West. You don’t even have to cross a street.

The Deal

Pricing during Macworld Expo at The InterContinental is US$215 per night, and it’s worth it. Unfortunately, because this is also the main Headquarters Hotel for Macworld Expo, we are unable to get you an advertised price discount — and we need to be able to advertise what we’re doing with them otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this here! As such, we’ve worked out a different deal. That $215 gets you the same hotel and same free/included high-speed Internet that you get through the normal deal but ours is one notch better: If you book through TMO’s special link, you are guaranteed to get an upgraded room. Your initial confirmation will not reflect this, but the hotel has assured us that this is the case. If it makes you feel better, please .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and we’ll follow-up with the hotel right before the show to ensure you’re well taken care of.

But Wait, There’s More!

The folks at The InterContinental really want to make sure TMO’s readers and listeners get special treatment, and so we’re continuing to work with them to add something even more to the offer here. Trust that whatever we add, anyone with an existing reservation will reap the same rewards. To start with a sweetened pot, each person booking a room through this deal and emailing us your confirmation number will get two free tickets to our Cirque du Mac party at the show.

Book today, send us .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address), and then we’ll see you at Macworld Expo!
