CUbiC Hotel Block

Instruction on How to Use Columbia Visitor Portal

This year, due to the FIFA World Cup, NYC will be busier than usual, and travel costs are expected to skyrocket. We urge you to start booking travel now, as prices will only keep increasing.

Unfortunately, due to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the courtesy hotel block rates are higher than in previous years. However, we have secure blocks in the following hotels:

• The Belleclaire ~$549
• Aloft Harlem ~$400
• Arthouse ~$439

If you are interested in booking these hotels at these rates, please refer to the attachment labeled CUbiC Annual Review Courtesy Hotel Blocks 2026 for the booking links.

If, however, these rates exceed your budget or reimbursement threshold, we have a workaround. Columbia University offers preferred hotel rates at the same hotels, but the only caveat is that they are only available for individual bookings. These hotels only have a limited number of rooms at the preferred rates, so again we urge you to book as soon as possible. Please refer to the attachment titled, Instructions on how to use the Columbia Visitors… to take advantage of this option.

Please reach out to CUbiC’s Center Admin, Alejandra Guadalupe (ag4760@columbia.edu) if you have any questions.
