Hotel information for the October P2600 Meetings

 

The following hotels are some of the options available while staying in Lexington.

 

Lexmark has negotiated rates that may be available but only if you make arrangements through Lexmark’s travel

coordinator WorldTravel (aka BCD Travel). You can make arrangements by one of the following methods.

 

  1. Preferred method…call toll free: 1-800-944-4360 (option 3)

 

  1. Alternate method…send an email to lexmark@bcdtravel.com with your request that includes: Name, Dates of Stay, Preferred hotel(s), Contact information, name of Lexmark contact (Jerry Thrasher), name of meeting you will be attending (P2600) and most importantly…your method of payment (credit card details).

 

You must mention both the meeting you are attending (P2600) and the Lexmark contact name (Jerry Thrasher) to get the negotiated rate.

 

Note: Your company may have better negotiated rates with these hotel chains so you may want to verify before booking. In that case please make reservations directly with the hotel and not through Lexmark’s travel coordinator. Also keep in mind that this week is also one of the weeks that the local horse racing track (Keenland Race Course) is holding its fall meet. This may affect room availability at some of these hotels.
