brandial 2006 -- Potsdam, Sep 2006 -- Accommodation

Accommodation

We have reserved a contingent of rooms at the Kongresshotel Potsdam for the very good price of 47,- Euros per night, including breakfast. The hotel is of modern business hotel standard. To book, please go to the hotel's website, and don't forget to mention "brandial" under comments to get the special rate. N.B.: Our rooms are blocked only until July 28th!! If you miss that date, however, you will still get the special rate by citing "brandial" if there are rooms left. [fully booked now; 7/8/06]

[ From hotel to venue: 10 min by bus ("Kurzstrecke", 1.20 Euro; service 3 x per hour); from hotel to city centre: 10 min by tram (frequent service until around midnight). ]

For those that want a little bit more comfort, there is also the Parkhotel Potsdam, which very conveniently located just outside of the park where the conference venue is. The price for a single room there is 81,- Euros. (When booking through the website, please also mention "brandial".) If this is fully booked, try the next option.

[ From hotel to venue: 5 min by bus ("Kurzstrecke", 1.20 Euro; service 3 x per hour), 10-15 min by foot; from hotel to city centre: 15 min by bus (service the whole night through). ]

Another option is the Steigenberger Hotel Sanssouci, which is also located just outside of the park, a little bit further away. The price for a single room there also is 81,- Euros at the special brandial06 rate. (Looks like you have to call them to get that rate: +49 (0) 3 31 / 90 91-0 )

[ From hotel to venue: 10 min by bus, 20 min by foot (nice walk through the park); hotel is in city centre. ]

You can also search for rooms on your own on Potsdam-Tourism (while the main pages are also available in English, the online booking form, not terribly helpfully, seems to be available only in German. You can also try calling them (see contact details here), if the form doesn't work.) The venue is on the "Neues Palais" campus.

For students we can try to arrange private accommodation with students of our university; please contact us if you'd like to try this option.

Lastly, it is also not impossible to take a room in Berlin and commute every day (which takes a little more than one hour each direction, using the Regional Express train RE1; see Getting There), although we wouldn't recommend that.
