Booking Information & Conditions
How to Book Accommodation
A variety of hotels ranging from luxurious to economy categories and student hostels will be available for participants of the Ninth World Shakespeare Congress.
How to Reserve a Room
Participants are advised to make reservation through the Congress Secretariat at reduced rates. To book a hotel room it is necessary to complete the On-line Hotel Booking Form and submit it to the Congress Secretariat before June 15, 2011. A second choice should be indicated in the Special Request article of the form.
Full pre-payment of the deposit (a single night's stay) will be required with any reservation request - based on your first-choice hotel preference. No accommodation can be guaranteed without it.
Deadline
Rooms will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. In case the hotel of your choice is full, the Congress Secretariat reserves the right to accommodate you in a hotel of a similar category. Hotel Booking Forms received on or after June 15, 2011 will be accepted, though the reservation cannot be guaranteed.
Confirmation of the Hotel Reservation
Upon receipt of the on-line booking request and one night's deposit, the Congress Secretariat will send a "Confirmation of the Hotel Reservation" to the delegate with the name of the allotted hotel, the exact address, type of room, terms of the stay, price per night and total price. The cancellation conditions which will apply to the respective hotel reservation will also be included.
Payment Conditions in General
A one night deposit is required together with all booking requests (it is necessary to provide credit card details or a copy of the bank transfer) and no reservation can be confirmed without this. For all hotels and hostels full prepayment is necessary to guarantee the booking. The balance payment will be charged 30 days prior to planned arrival - we anticipate your agreement to use the same credit card as indicated in the hotel booking form. Upon receipt of any prepayment, the Congress Secretariat will issue an official tax invoice. After the full prepayment has been received the respective Hotel Voucher will be sent by e-mail to the delegate. The Voucher is to be presented at the reception of the respective hotel upon arrival.
