How to Book
To obtain these rates, booking must be made via the Meeting Registration Form – not with the hotel direct. Please note the cancellation policies for each of the hotels before making your final selection.
To secure your booking, please complete the accommodation section of the Registration Form and provide either one night’s room rate as confirmation (if paying by cheque or EFT) or provide credit card details to guarantee your booking. Rooms will not be held without some form of deposit or guarantee.
Cancellation
Unless otherwise stated above in the information on each property, cancellations received up to 30 days prior to check in will be cancelled without charge. A cancellation fee of one night’s accommodation will apply for cancellations within 30 days of check in. Any amendments to the original hotel booking must be forwarded in writing to the Meeting Secretariat and not to the hotel.
Terminology
“Double” refers to a room with one double bed
“Twin” refers to a room with two beds
“Single” refers to a single occupancy room
Payment of Accommodation
If paying deposit by credit card, the Meeting Secretariat will forward your credit card details to the hotel to reserve your room(s). Please be aware that the hotel may hold your credit card details as security for the booking and may choose not to debit your card with the payment until time of check-out. The balance of your accommodation account and any incidental charges must be paid in full, directly to the hotel, on departure.
Early Arrival or Late Departure
Please note that the check-in time for the meeting hotels is from 1400 hrs. Please indicate or notify the Meeting Secretariat in writing if you will be arriving early, as you may be required to pre-register the night before to guarantee immediate access to your hotel room. This may apply with the early morning flight arrivals into Melbourne. Please also indicate or notify the Meeting Secretariat in writing if you will arrive at your hotel after 1800 hrs, to avoid your room being released.
Deadlines
The hotels impose strict release dates of 30 days prior to arrival; therefore any bookings made after 5 September 2011 will be subject to availability.
Change of Booking
Any change to a reservation must be notified to the Meeting Secretariat in writing and not directly to the hotel.
