Colloquium Hotels: The Special Colloquium Package
Hyderabad, 'The Convention Destination of India' is a cosmopolitan city with no dearth of hotels and accommodation to satisfy a wide range of expectations, needs and budgets. The magic lies in finding an elegant facility that effectively combines your particular spectrum of preferences.
We have negotiated a special Colloquium package at four excellent hotels and in one service apartment complex, selected for their proximity to the HICC (within 5 km); the ambience and facilities offered; their excellent cuisine; and the efficiency, warmth, and professionalism of their staff.
The Colloquium package at each of these establishments includes:
- Special rates for accommodation in well-appointed air-conditioned rooms with en-suite bathrooms
- Free WI-FI and internet connectivity
- Daily complimentary breakfast (with an early start, if required)
- In-house restaurants offering Indian and International cuisine
- Access to business centres, well-equipped fitness centres, and (in three of the hotels) to spas, and to out-door swimming pools.
- Wheelchair access for those with special mobility requirements
- Free shuttle services to and from the HICC (at fixed times) for delegates staying in accommodations other than Novotel HICC, the conference hotel.
A travel desk will be available at the HICC during the Colloquium to cater to travel requirements outside the scheduled transfer times, at a nominal charge. In addition, a number of radio taxi operators are available that you can call or book online for transport outside Colloquium timings (Meru, Easy Cabs, Orange Cabs, Sky Cabs, and Yellow Cabs). Your hotel travel desk might also be able to facilitate transport options that you may require.
We hope that your stay in these hotels will enrich your Colloquium experience and provide you with an unforgettable taste of India, and the traditional hospitality, culture, and cuisine of Hyderabad.
Booking accommodation: Please check the hotel websites for additional information you may need before making your bookings. After registering for the Colloquium, you can book directly with one of the hotels via the booking links below the description of each hotel and ask for a booking under the Colloquium package. You will not get a lower rate at these hotels than the ones quoted below, for the duration of the Colloquium from any other source, including booking online directly from the hotel website.
Please note that these rates are applicable only for registered delegates, booking at least five nights from 21st to 26 th September 2014. Each reservation has to be guaranteed by a valid credit card that will not be charged till checkout, but cancellation charges will apply after 1st September 2014.
Please also note that there are only a limited number of rooms available at these special rates in each of these hotels; hence we request you to book your accommodation early, and definitely before 1st September 2014.
Update: 24 June 2014:
The 150 rooms we had guranteed at Novotel attached to HICC are over booked and no more rooms are available at the specially discounted Colloquium rate. Rooms may be available at a higher rate though, based on availability.
Please book rooms at the other Colloquium Hotels at the earliest to avail of the specially discounted rates and special Colloquium package, but book early as these rooms are also limited in number.
