ACCOMMODATION

Brisbane offers visitors a variety of high-quality accommodation, from five-star deluxe properties to economy hotels and motels all at exceptionally competitive rates. Discount accommodation rates have been negotiated at the following official General Assembly/Congress hotels for delegates.

Important:
Sufficient accommodation has been set aside for anticipated General Assembly/Congress delegates; however, accommodation is limited owing to several major events in Brisbane during the General Assembly/Congress dates. Unsold General Assembly/Congress accommodation must be released in mid-May 2001. If you require accommodation, we strongly advise you to register before 15 May 2001. We cannot guarantee to fulfill accommodation reservations received after this date.
