We have a number of rooms at various hotels in the city center of Munich that can be
reserved at a special rate by participants of the SPAA conference:
The Hotel Königswache is directly next to the TUM and the other hotels next to the Munich Hauptbahnhof (Main Railway Station), which is about a 15 minute walk away from the TUM. There is a train from the Munich International Airport to the Main Railway Station of Munich (~40 minutes, ~10 Euros). The train is recommended since taxis are expensive.
The room reservation deadline was April 14. Please direct all requests concerning an existing reservation to t.dirr@interplan.de. If you cannot find
alternative accommodation on the web (through hotels.com etc.), please contact Christian
Scheideler at scheideler@in.tum.de, and we will try to help you out.
