Swissôtel The Stamford 2 Stamford Road Telephone: +65 6338 8585 Fax: +65 6338 2862 Room reservation is inclusive of Internet. The ICANN Meeting is being held at Raffles City and Convention Centre. While every effort will be made to house constituents at the Swissôtel, nearby hotels may also be used to house attendees to the ICANN Meeting. If you do not intend to stay in a hotel funded by ICANN you should inform ICANN at constituency-travel@icann.org as soon possible so the room may be released to someone else. Certain ICANN supported travelers receive only airfare support - if you are only receiving airfare support ICANN will not reserve a room in your name. You will be responsible for making your own lodging arrangements. However, should you wish to stay at one of the contracted hotels, please email constituency-travel@icann.org and we will try ot book a room for you if possible. Allocations of hotel rooms for use during the ICANN meeting are arranged directly by the ICANN Meetings Department. The Travel Support Team will inform the Meetings department of your itinerary and they will book your room from a block of rooms reserved at the hotel(s) for this purpose. |
