FIW'03 Hotels and Accomodations


Participants must make their own accommodation arrangements directly with the hotel of their choice, or with the University of Ottawa residences. When making a reservation, it is necessary to specify the "Feature Interaction (FIW) Workshop" in order to get the negotiated conference rate. Please note that June is a busy month in Ottawa, so it is advisable to make your reservation early.

All prices are in Canadian dollars. $1 CAN = $ 0.67 US = €0.63 Euro = £0.42 GBP approximately (March 2003).

An additional 12% tax (5% Provincial Sales Tax + 7 % Goods and Services Tax) is usually applicable to hotel rooms. However, participants from abroad can get such taxes reimbursed before leaving the country (this cannot be done at the hotel however). Reimbursment forms will likely be available at the workshop registration desk. The prices for the residences already includes the taxes.

These hotels are at walking distance from the SITE building. They have room blocks of 10 rooms for Tuesday, June 10th, Wednesday, June 11th, and Thursday, June 12th.
