The nearby districts aren't particularly exciting, but I imagine that there are decent/mainstream/expensive hotels near the airport, and there are several hotels in the centre of town. CERN's own accommodation isn't bad, though, for those undecided about whether a hotel is required. > Unfortunately, the CERN site seems to be missing this one > bit of vital information (they only mention a snail > mail address in form of a PO box :-). CERN's a big place, so I don't think it has (or needs) a street address. Here's the contact page, reachable from CERN's home page: http://public.web.cern.ch/Public/Content/ServiceLinks/Contact/Contact-en.html > I tried this on map24.de but to no avail - CERN's not registered > as POI :-( POI? > BTW, I found this URL on the CERN site which might be helpful: > > http://building.web.cern.ch/building/ > > It appears as if the conference is going to be held at > the "Meyrin" site. I imagine so, and Benedikt's previous information gives that impression, too. Certainly, I don't think the other major site (Prevessin) has much in the way of conference facilities.
