Housing

Hotel rooms at special rates are being held for SIU Congress participants. Reservations must be made through the Housing Bureau to guarantee the rates negotiated for the Congress. Hotel rooms must be reserved by sending the housing form above to the Housing Bureau before September 18, 2009.

After this date, rooms cannot be guaranteed. Rooms will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations can only be guaranteed for the period specified on the housing form, which should be duly completed with the credit card details and sent by fax or e-mail to the Housing Bureau: Pacific World. Any change in arrival or departure dates, or type of accommodation required, should be immediately indicated in writing to the Housing Bureau. Adjustments will be made according to hotel availability.

The balance for your accommodation should be paid directly to the hotel at the end of your stay. Pacific World will issue a letter confirming your reservation details by e-mail.

Check In/Out

Check-in time is 1400 and check-out is 1200. If you arrive before 1400, your room may not be ready. Should your flight arrive early in the morning, we suggest you to book your accommodation one night earlier in order to secure the room for your early check-in. If you need to check out of the hotel after 1200, please request special consideration for late check-out when placing your reservation. Check-out may be extended until 1800 at a charge of 50% of the congress rate, plus a 15% surcharge per room. This service is subject to availability. After 1800, rooms will be charged at the full rate.

Group Reservations

Requests for group reservations must be made through the Housing Bureau, via the SIU Central Office, to benefit from the special Congress rates.
