Hotel room reservations will be made for you. The primary site for the meeting is the Hotel Santo Domingo where we have reserved the majority of the rooms for participants. We have also reserved space at other hotels to accommodate the balance of participants. The Casa Azul and Casa Capuchinas hotels are both within walking distance of the Santo Domingo. Hotel reservations will be made on a first-come, first-served basis. The cut-off date to guarantee your hotel room reservation is November 16, 2007. Suggested arrival date is Sunday, December 2, 2007. Participants arriving prior to Sunday or staying beyond Friday will be responsible for their own costs.

NOTE:  Participants are guaranteed lodging from Sunday, December 2 through Friday, December 8.  If you are arriving prior to December 2 you must make your own hotel arrangements. Check-in time on Sunday, December 2 is at 3:00 pm, therefore early arrivals cannot be accommodated.  Check-out time on Saturday is at 12 noon.

After November 16, participants will be responsible for making their own reservations. We cannot guarantee that a room will be available if you register after November 16 as the hotels are extremely full during this time of year. If a room is available, you will be charged the full, non-governmental rate. Please note that you can cancel up to 3 DAYS prior to the meeting without incurring costs. Cancellation with less than 3 days notice will result in a charge to you and/or your Mission.

The price of the rooms per night is approximately US$103 and includes breakfast. You are responsible for all hotel charges including room cost, telephone, room service, mini-bar, wireless Internet, etc. Tax exempt forms will be provided for your hotel room. If you have special needs, please note in your registration.

The hotel accepts major credit cards and cash (not traveler’s checks). Hotel guests might be requested to leave a deposit for incidental fees that will be refunded at check-out if unused.
