The Commons Hotel is the host venue for the 13th TAPPI ACFS Symposium. This industrial schoolhouse chic property embodies a sense of inner geek in a chic setting, embracing diversity through the common desire to discover, with an uncommon experience. Explorers satisfy the whims of their inner geek with a Book Butler, in-room art galleries, and alchemist mixology lessons. 

TAPPI has negotiated a rate of $150 + tax, per night for single and double occupancy. Be sure to identify yourself as an attendee of the TAPPI Advanced Coating Symposium when making your reservation to get this rate. Rooms outside our block may be at a higher rate.
