Dear MCPC-Participants

While Munich has no lack of 4 and 5 star hotel rooms at any time, affordable accommodation can be limited. As October is a very busy (attractive) month in Munich, book your hotel rooms early !!! There are several options to find hotel accommodation in Munich during the conference, but let us give you some location advise first.

 

You have three options to find a hotel room:

(a) Since we are not able to handle reservations for conference participants directly, we have arranged a booking service for you with the Munich Tourist Office. Until August 10, enough hotel rooms in all categories have been reserved.
Simply fill the attached form (Rich Text / ), and the agency will reserve a room for you in the desired category. All hotels will be conveniently located to reach the conference (by public transportation, we will also provide a shuttle service). However, it is not possible to book a particular hotel.

(b) With internet booking and yield management, often direct booking offers the best price-value option. The leading hotel reservation system with (from my experience also best prices) is http://www.hrs.de (select your language). There is no fee and in most cases not even a credit card is required.

(c) Hotel Tips: The following hotels are very well located in the north of the center, directly at the subway U6 (station "Nordfriedhof"; 8 min to Marienplatz, the most central place in Munich, and 12 min to Garching station). Also, the Airport Bus stops within 100 meters walking distance of these hotels. Call or check their web sites for direct booking, and check alternatively at www.hrs.de for better rates:

Important:

The conference starts when another big event in Munich ends: the world famous October Fest. If you want to get this experience, plan to come already for the weekend before (Oct 4-5). Expect higher Hotel prices during this weekend and reserve rooms ASAP (the reserved hotel rooms from option (a) are only for the conference period, but not for the weekend before the conference). More information at www.muenchentourist.de.

We hope to meet you in Munich in October 2003!

Yours sincerely,
