World Equestrian Center (WEC) Accomodations
The World Equestrian Center Hotel is not the host hotel for our event. Other than reduced rates for a block of hotel rooms, we have no other deals or affiliation with the hotel. We have been given a very limited group block of rooms at the WEC hotel at a rate of $189 per night. Once that block is booked, the hotel will still be available for booking, but at the prevailing rate at the time of booking. The pet fee will remain the same for all exhibitors who identify they are with the GRCA, regardless of what the room rate is. Please see this announcement about the lottery that will take place for a chance to book a room in the WEC Hotel. There are various other opportunities for accommodations in and around the property of the World Equestrian Center (WEC). There are three bedroom units that are about a mile from the property as well as townhomes/villas and houses at Golden Ocala (on the WEC property) that will be available for rent. (See Golden Ocala Country Club below.)
