Porto, Portugal, 16-19 September 1998

Recommended Accommodation

Porto is very well served by hotels. A number of hotel rooms in different price categories have been selected, taking into account location and good quality/price ratio.

One of the locations is the Conference Centre itself. Booking of rooms at the Conference Centre will have to be made through the Local Organization (see item 1 on the List of selected hotels).

The other selected alternatives are Hotel Tuela (3-star, map location H1), Hotel Tuela-Torre (4-star, map location also H1), Hotel Ipanema-Porto (4-star, map location H2), and Hotel Ipanema Park (5-star, aprox. 1 km distance). Delegates are invited to book direct to these hotels, mentioning Reference ESBES2-PORTO98.

The 3-, and 4-star are all very conveniently located within walking distance of the Conference Centre and close to restaurants and shopping centres.

The 5-star hotel, although slightly more distant, is very easily accessible.
