IEEE 802 Plenary Session Special Group Hotel Rates:

IEEE 802 has made a special arrangement with Manotel Group?s 6 business class hotels in downtown Geneva to provide rooms with special rates for IEEE 802 Plenary Session attendees. Each Manotel hotel provides guaranteed reservations via major credit card on a special IEEE-802 webpage with 48-hour NO-penalty cancellation, free guestroom Internet, business traveler amenities, and optional breakfast and restaurant services. They are all 4 and 3-star properties, and each has its own unique style that allows for a variety of guest preferences. We recommend that you visit our website to see the different features, prices, and their convenient locations to make your selection, and then book online as soon as possible to ensure you get your preference. The number of rooms available is limited so please book early. You can always cancel if your plans change but once our block is sold out, no more rooms may be available. All of the Manotel hotels have highest customer ratings for comfort, convenience, and service. They are a very safe choice for those not familiar with Geneva.

ITU Hotel Reservations:

ITU maintains a list of hotels and residences of varied categories in or near Geneva that offer special rates to delegates attending conferences or meetings at the ITU. The list requires use of a standard booking form. A PDF copy of the full hotel list is available at: http://www.itu.int/travel/hotels.pdf.

Follow the procedure below to make a reservation for a hotel room with the ITU special terms:

Delegates must reserve a room directly (i.e. not through an intermediary such as a travel agency, airline, etc.) with their chosen hotel from the list by phone, fax, or email.
They must confirm the booking by mailing or faxing this standard booking confirmation form, which must provide valid credit card information to secure the hotel room guarantee.
Bookings that are not guaranteed by a credit card will be held only until 18.00 hours.
When checking in, delegates may be required to provide evidence that they are attending an ITU meeting or conference (i.e. show badge or invitation letter).

We only provide e-mailed session announcements and updates. Session information will continue to be available on the IEEE 802 web site at: http://www.ieee802.org/meeting/.
