Quoting from text I found on the Arisia website...
"For their own reasons, the Boston Park Plaza Hotel notified us in February [2006] that they wouldn't sign a contract with us for 2007. There are various rumors about why they chose to do this, but the BPPH never officially told us why.
[snipping text about how hard it is to find good hotels in Boston given the parameters they were looking for and why they ended up selecting the Hyatt as a reasoable alternative]
We have a signed contract for 2008, and we're looking for other options for 2009 and beyond, but just in case we have the our weekend penciled in at the Hyatt for 2009 and 2010."
