Accommodation options

1. Vila Lanna (meeting place) http://www.vila-lanna.cz/index.html: They have nice rooms with historical furniture at the second floor of the Villa. The only disadvantage is that the bathrooms with toilets are located next to the rooms. Some bathrooms are shared by two rooms.

Another part of accommodation is in the area of the Vila Lanna. The rooms are smaller, equipped in more modern way. Bathrooms and toilets are inside each room.

2. Villa Schwaiger http://www.villaschwaiger.com/en/home/: This is small four stars hotel in the vicinity of the Vila Lanna.

IMPORTANT Update: Very recently, Villa Schwaiger announced that they will be closed for reconstruction during the meeting dates. They promised to take care of all guests moving them to the four stars Part Hotel (keeping Villa Schwaiger prices). Nevertheless, the Park Hotel is not in the walking distance from the meeting place.
