Hotel Reservations

Due to the great response to this conference, the site of the conference, the Crowne Plaza Georgia Hotel, is now nearly booked.

Attendees may try to make reservations by phoning 1-800-663-1111 or direct to the hotel at (604)682-5566. Alternatively, attendees may email a request for reservation to reservations@hotelgeorgia.bc.ca and provide the following information:

• Date of arrival
• Date of departure
• Number of Adults in the room
• Smoking or Non-Smoking
• Bedding Preference (2 Double beds, or 1 King/Queen bed)
• Credit Card Guarantee
• Explicit request for Gemini Science Meeting discount room rate

If the Crowne Plaza booked, you will need to reserve a room at a nearby hotel The best way to do this is via "Hello BC Accommodations," which has both website and a phone link: 1-800-HELLOBC (international 1-604-HELLOBC). The phoning option looks to be easier. People there will check for available hotel rooms within the area/price range specified for all Vancouver hotels, rather than the person having to call each hotel separately.

According to "Hello BC Accommodations," currently there are two hotels directly adjacent to the Crowne Plaza that have some rooms available:
Fairmont Hotel Vancouver
Hyatt Regency.

The names of some hotels which are a short 10-15 minute walk of the Crowne Plaza are:
Blue Horizon
Coast Plaza
Fairmont Waterfront
Le Soleil
Pacific Pallisades.
