The Westin Edmonton - Manitoba Room
The Westin Edmonton guest room block is now open.
You can reserve rooms by calling 1-800-937-8461. To receive the group rate, delegates must identify themselves as Alberta Catholic School Trustees’ Association (ACSTA) delegates. Both the ACSTA and ASBA blocks are merged for booking purposes so delegates do not need to book 2 rooms in separate blocks. You simply need to ask for the ACSTA block and you will be able to book multiple nights. Please note that a maximum of 9 rooms can be booked at one time when calling.
As it has been the practice, a deposit equal to (1) night room and tax is required at the time of booking in order to secure a reservation. Deposits paid by individuals are refundable if notice is received by The Westin at least 14 days prior to arrival and a cancellation number is obtained.
