Accommodation:
There are two hotels, Novotel and IBIS, which are located at the meeting place. You can book a room in one of these two hotels, our suggested hotel or one of the other hotels in Milan. Due to the EXPO 2015, which is being held in Milan in the month of May, the room rates for all the hotels in the Milan area are unusually high and many are booked up already. We suggest that you book a hotel room as soon as possible.

In order to help the saints, we have reserved 15 rooms on May 8 and 25 rooms on May 9 at a IBIS Style Hotel near the city of Milan. The price will be around 40 – 50 Euro (including breakfast) per night per person. This hotel has a good standard and is only 4 km away from the nearest subway station, Cologno Nord, at the north end of the Green Line (No. 2). There will be a shuttle service between the hotel and the subway station given by the hotel or the serving ones during the conference period. You need to indicate which date you want to stay over night on the registration form. We will charge you in Euro later when you arrive. Because these are pre-paid rooms, you may still need to pay if you cancel your trip to the conference.

If you find one of the other hotels, we suggest that you choose one near the subway station so you can easily reach the Ca’ Granda subway station of the violet line (M5) and walk to Novotel Ca’ Granda in 5 minutes. There is also a bus no. 42 and a tram no. 5 next to Milan central train station, which can take you directly to the meeting place. For further information regarding Milan public transportation, check the follow web site: www.atm-mi.it/
