Accommodation

GUARANT International has been appointed as the official hotel accommodation agent for The Statistics: Investment in the Future 2 and will handle all related arrangements.

A number of hotels of various categories at reduced rates will be available for participants of Statistics 2009. A list of hotels can be found here

All hotels are located within walking distance of the Czech National Bank.

To make a hotel reservation, it is necessary to fill in the on-line Accommodation Form.

Please note that the on-line Accommodation Form is only accessible with a password. Simply fill in the Personal Data Form and password will be sent to you. Your password is the same for all on-line forms.
Reservations will be processed on a "first come, first-served" basis. Due to heavy demand and to the fact that distribution of rooms in many hotels is limited, accommodation cannot be guaranteed after July 4, 2009 although GUARANT International will make every effort to meet participants’ requirements.

Any reservation made after July 4, 2009 is subject to availability.

All rates quoted are per room per night including breakfast and 9 % VAT. Should VAT change before the beginning of the Congress, the Congress Secretariat will automatically change the price of your hotel room and inform you in writing about the new rate.
Extras are to be paid directly at the hotel reception before departure.

Reservation confirmation

A one-night deposit is required to guarantee the reservation. After the first night deposit is received, your hotel reservation will be confirmed by e-mail. The remaining amount has to be paid directly to the hotel upon check-in/out.

A one-night deposit must be paid until July 4, 2009.
