Hotels

Hotels in Luxembourg city are pretty expensive, usually above the 120EUR/day allowance.

Budget options are:

• Hotel Ibis budget Luxembourg (2 stars) (~63EUR/night)
• Hotel Ibis Luxembourg Airport (3 stars) (~133EUR/night)

These two are in proximity of the airport (10 minutes walk); from the airport there is bus 16 that runs frequently (every 10 minutes during the day, every 30 minutes in the evening) bound to downtown. On its way to downtown, bus 16 stops also in front of the SnT center.

Note: there are several Ibis hotels in Luxembourg (as a country). Make sure you pick one whose name contains “Airport” or “Findel”.

• Hotel Coque (120EUR/night)

It is part of the biggest sport center in Luxembourg. It is at 5-minute walking from the venue. The bus stop towards downtown is also very close.

More expensive options are:

• Hotel Melia (4 stars)  (in the Kirchberg area, at two bus stops from the venue and from downtown)
• Hotel Parc Belle-vue (3 stars)
• Hotel Parc plaza (4 stars)
• Hotel Victor (4 stars)

These hotels are downtown, at 10-15 minutes by bus from SnT.

There are other options (potentially slightly cheaper) nearby the central train station (Gare) area, which are at 20-25 minutes by bus from the venue.   Luxembourg is generally safe but, as usual, extra precaution is needed in this area by night.

The next meeting will take place right before the iFM conference in Torino!
