Accommodation
Accommodations
Collioure is a small town with charming narrow streets, many historic and cultural
sites of interest and a scenic coast. It is thus not surprising that it enjoys considerable
tourist attraction during the summer months. However, its fair number of hotels offer
a comparatively small number of rooms. To have a sufficient number of rooms
available for attendees of the INS 2015 Meeting, rooms have been block booked until
March 31, 2015 in the hotels listed below.
Room reservations must be made directly with the hotel, indicating that you are an
INS 2015 attendee. Please use e-mail (or telephone) to make room reservations; for
the week of the INS 2015, making a room reservation is generally not available on
the website due to our block booking. Most rooms have internet access (wifi & cable).
Note that there is a tax of 1 € / day per person.
