HOTEL INFORMATION
UPDATE (May 23):: Rooms at the Hilton and the Atlanta [formerly Golden Tulip] are no longer available. All of our block of rooms have now been taken -- unless there are cancellations. There are still a few rooms at the Student Housing [350 euro for the entire week]. These rooms are quite pleasant and near the conference site, but they will no longer be available after the beginning of the week of May 27 -- so please contact Piet Molendijk immediately at: inter2002@fwb.eur.nl.
CONFERENCE HOTEL
Special conference rates have been arranged at the elegant HILTON ROTTERDAM (within a short walk from the Central Train Station and easy access to public transportation (Tram 1 and 7) to the Erasmus University).Tram tickets for the week will be made available for those staying in town at the Hilton. The tram to the University takes about 15 minutes. Some van service will also be provided.

DEADLINE of MARCH 15th in order to receive the significantly reduced rates below:
115 EURO [about US$100 ] per night for a Single or Double "Superior Room" (does not include breakfast, since continental breakfast is provided at the conference site).
165 EURO [about US$144 ] for a Single or Double "Executive Room" (includes complimentary breakfast, coffee/tea maker in room, and other advantages).
Unlike standard European practice, we have negotiated American-type payment arrangements whereby the cost per night (no tax added) is for one or two persons. This is not a per person rate.
You also must mention "IAPL CONFERENCE" in order to obtain these special rates. These rates are not available through the Hilton International phone numbers. However, you can reserve by e-mail:
cb_rotterdam@hilton.comHOTEL NOTE (March 28th): As the March 15th date has now passed, the Rotterdam Hilton has no more rooms at the conference rate. The Hilton will take "waiting list" names and will inform those on the waiting list if rooms become available.
As an alternative, we have arranged with the Golden Tulip Hotel (Rotterdam) for some rooms at the conference rate of 110 Euro excluding breakfast (which is provided at the Book Exhibit Cafe to those registered for the conference). As at the Hilton, the price above is for the room (not per person), making sharing of a double room more economical. The Golden Tulip is an classic decor hotel within short walking distance of the Hilton. You must mention "IAPL" in order to obtain the special conference rate.

Student rooms (two separate single rooms with a shared bath and kitchen) are available at the total cost of 350 EURO [about US$305] per single room for the whole period of the conference — including several days before and/or after the conference.
