[Accommodation details - 16Kb pdf format]

Below are some options for accommodation during the period of the “Innovation in Services” conference to be held in Manchester between Thursday 15^th and Saturday 17^th June 2006. The Conference will be held in the MBS West Building of the Manchester Business School. The conference will start at 11am on the 15^th and end at 1pm on the 17^th. We ask you to make your bookings directly with the hotel of your choice.

The Cheapest Option is staying in a “student room” at the Manchester Conference Centre. This offers an en-suite room with a single bed at £34.80 per night bed and breakfast (++44 161 955 8084). The Manchester Conference Centre is less than a mile (1.5 kms) from the conference venue (15 minutes walk). Manchester’s city centre is also about a mile (1.5 kms) in the other direction. We understand there are plenty of these rooms available for the nights of the 14^th to the 17^th of June.

Mid Priced Options include the IBIS hotels (3 stars - www.ibishotel.com), of which Manchester has two: one on Charles Street, the other on Portland Street. The Charles Street IBIS (£59.90 bed and breakfast - ++44 0161 272 5000) is slightly closer to the conference venue whilst the Portland Street IBIS (£61.90 bed and breakfast - ++44 0161 272 5000) is closer to the city centre, but both are within a mile of the conference venue (1.5 kms - 15 minutes walk). We understand that there are rooms available for the nights of the 14^th to the 16^th of June, but not currently the Saturday night (17^th) should delegates wish or need to stay over. This situation may change, but we suggest you transfer to the Manchester Business School’s (£58.75 bed and breakfast: ++44 161 275 6333) own accommodation for the Saturday night if you leave on Sunday.

Higher Priced Options include the Palace Hotel (4 stars) (Single rooms are £84 B&B, double rooms £104 B&B; ++44 161 288 1111). This hotel is located about half a mile (1 km) from the conference venue and about a mile from Manchester city centre. We understand that there are rooms available for the nights of the 14^th to the 16^th of June, but not currently the Saturday night (17^th) should delegates wish or need to stay over. This situation may change, but you may wish to transfer to the Manchester Business School’s (£58.75 bed and breakfast: ++44 161 275 6333) own accommodation for the Saturday night if you leave on Sunday. Alternatively, other higher priced options include the Thistle Hotel (4*) (++44 870 333 9139) and the Renaissance Hotel (4*) (++44 161 831 6000), and the Radisson Edwardian Manchester (5*) (++44 161 835 9929), all of which are located in the city centre (not more than 1.5 miles from the conference venue).
