[bc-gnso] Hotels for Brussels ICANN meeting

[Philip Sheppard]

Jim,
you asked about hotels in Brussels.
Here goes. A update of what I posted shortly after Kenya.
-------------
The Square Meeting Centre is a refurbished venue in central Brussels on the Mont
des Arts.
It is very well served by many hotels in various price categories.

In the top price category:
Le Meridien (comfortable if a tad austere). This has been booked by some BC
members but note there is construction directly outside (major new plaza/road
works).
 
A little further away but still an easy walk to the conference venue is a
wonderful and pricy boutique hotel: 
Amigo
 
And the Radisson SAS is fab and reasonable close.
 
Very nearby is the 4 star but comfortable
Royal Windsor
 
Next door to the Meridien (but away from the roadworks) are three cheaper
Hotels:
Novotel 
Best Western Carrefour d L'europe
Ibis Grande Place (Note there are other Ibis in Brussels).
 
If these hotels book up then look at alternatives towards the centre (Grande
Place / Bld Anspach)
Avoid a postcode that is not 1000.
The Brussels Hilton(s) are a bit far from the venue.
The Sheraton and Crowne Plaza at Place Rogier are also a bit far.
