LOCATION INFORMATION

The largest barrier island between New Jersey and Florida, with 12 miles of breathtaking Atlantic beachfront, Hilton Head Island is located on the Intra-coastal Waterway and encompasses vast sea marshes, creeks and lagoons, and moss-draped forests of live oaks, magnolias, pines and palmettos. Wildlife preserves make the island home to hundreds of species of birds and animals, including the familiar alligator.
 
With its trademark striped lighthouse, world-class golfing, top-ranked tennis facilities and magical marinas—it's no wonder why Hilton Head Island is the ideal place to retreat and reinvigorate. Practically any water sport imaginable is available, along with great outlet and boutique shopping and award-winning restaurants—for countless ways to plan your getaway.

Located within the gracious Port Royal Plantation, The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa is set on a pristine stretch of sandy white beach along the Atlantic. Grab a chair and relax, or get on a bike and explore. 

Whether it's on one of the three Port Royal championship golf courses, on the award-winning tennis courts, in the Heavenly Spa by Westin™, or simply watching the day go by from a lounge chair by one of their pools – the Westin Hilton Head offers endless ways to renew and relax.  Each guest room in the resort comes with its own private patio or balcony-allowing you to enjoy the naturally soothing surroundings of Hilton Head Island, in addition to the comfort of the Old South décor.

TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION

BY AIRPLANE:  There are two nearby airports: the Savannah Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) which is approximately 45 minutes away or the Hilton Head Island Airport (HHH) which is just 10 minutes from the resort.  Taxi service is available from either airport to the Westin.  Contact Advantage Transportation (843-683-7348) to make a reservation for your arrival at the airport.  The approximate charge from Savannah International is $80.00 and the approximate charge from Hilton Head Airport is $15.00.  You may want to rent a car and if that is the case you’ll find that both airports offer service by all the major car rental companies.  The Westin offers both valet parking and free outdoor parking for its guests.

ATTIRE INFORMATION

“Resort Casual” is the dress code for SIGMA’s Spring Convention.  During the day time just about anything goes from golf attire to Bermuda shorts.  The All Industry Reception is the "dressiest" event of the convention, when cocktail attire is most appropriate.  Temperatures during May on Hilton Head Island range from an average low of 62 to an average high of 83 degrees Fahrenheit.  You’ll want to bring rain gear just to be prepared!
