[apnic-talk] APNIC 28 Accommodation and Visa



Hey all,

 

I’ve been looking at accommodation in Beijing for APNIC 28, and the venue of the event is extremely expensive for accommodation.

 

Even the cheapest rooms are like US$270 for most of the conference... that is just ridiculous, especially given I am looking at spending some extra time there.

 

Given that the venue hotel is located as below:

 

Grand Hyatt Beijing

No.1 East Chang An Avenue, Dong Cheng 100738 BEIJING - (a few minutes walking distance to Forbidden City)

 

There seem to heaps of other known name hotels like the Crowne Plaza (US$142), Park Plaza for US$96 and a pile of hotels around that range.

 

Does anyone know other hotels that are close by to the venue hotel?  Google Maps isn’t helping me much... too much Chinese language and conflicting map references.

 

Just a note... why has CNNIC chosen such an expensive hotel?

 

Also... has anyone given much thought to which Visa’s they are apply for?  I remember in Manilla that there were three?  I am not sure about the restrictions
