   The following special conference rates are available to the conference guests and their accompanying family members at Delta Vancouver Suites:

• $155 (just under US$100) per suite per night, single occupancy,
• $165 (just over US$100) per suite per night, double occupancy.

   Two types of suites are available. Delta's executive suites offer complete privacy between the bedroom and parlour areas, whereas standard suites only offer partial privacy by way of a sliding "Japanese-style" door. The two suite types are otherwise similar in size and configuration. Both come with the same amenities, and are offered at the same special rate.

   Most suites feature one queen size bed, but an additional pull-out bed is optionally available, as are suites with two double beds. Additional guests en suite are charged $20 (about US$12) per night each.
