Our April 4 - 8, 2017, Annual Meeting will be held at the recently renovated waterfront Coronado Marriott. This hotel, an invigorating seaside escape, is one of the most spectacular sites where an ARES Meeting has been held. Expect warm weather, sunny skies, a friendly, welcoming vibe, tasty locavore food and drink, an exceptional event ! This is a meeting that you do not want to miss.

There's a certain energy at the resort that will rejuvenate you. The totally renovated property is sparkling and fresh. ARES attendees can enjoy a brand new spa as well as a new fitness, yoga and Pilates studio. ARES receptions, breakfasts and lunches will include much fresh, locally grown food. Professor Norm Miller has volunteered to be ARES Sommelier and he will be selecting various California wines for your enjoyment. World famous San Diego area craft beers will be on tap as well.Located in the picturesque coastal village of Coronado, the resort celebrates World Class Water as ARES does. Shopping, restaurants, waterfront walking paths and gorgeous beaches are all nearby. An inexpensive, fun and challenging municipal golf course abuts the resort. A water taxi or Uber will quickly take you to downtown San Diego if you need to be there. 

Many other San Diego attractions are easily visited as well.As a world-famous resort getaway, Coronado has been the destination of presidents and of kings, of Hollywood stars, and of visitors from every corner of the world. It has been an inspiration for L. Frank Baum’s classic “The Wizard of Oz.” But at its core, it is still an easy going small town with tremendous cultural and historical roots, an enchanting blend that makes Coronado both uniquely and endlessly attractive. In many ways, Coronado offers charms similar to the more northerly Carmel but without the chilly ocean breezes often experienced up there.Relaxing small town or vibrant big city, the Coronado Marriott's unique location lets you have it all. Very few resorts on the entire USA West Coast offer the amenities, the fabulous location and the gorgeous setting at a reasonable price that the Coronado Marriott does. Access from all over the world is easy as San Diego's airport is nearby. The resort has been totally renovated very recently. You'll be staying in what is essentially a brand new hotel in a phenomenal waterfront location in the middle of a classy, fun metropolitan area.
