It is important that you make your hotel reservations as quickly as possible because Montréal is a tourist mecca in the summer (see
Montrealplus.ca for all sorts of useful information about Montréal).
Here are some suggestions for accommodation which include prices and distance from the conference venue École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS).
All are a walking distance from the conference venue or with easy access by bus or subway. Use
Google Maps Transit to find your way from your hotel to ÉTS (1100 Notre-Dame ouest Montreal). Prices, per nignt, listed below are in canadian dollars. The applicable taxes are not included in the rates (Lodging Tax: 3%, Goods and Services Tax (GST): 5% and Québec Sales Tax (QST): 7.5%).
For people looking for budget accommodation, some very nice student housing is available:
- Residences universitaires UQAM, with rooms available from 45$ to 70$ per night (2.3 km). A 10% discount is available to conference attendees, simply mention the group's name: ACA2009. From their website, select the 2100 Saint-Urbain building or use this link for booking.
- McGill University also offers summer accommodation. (See this document for more information) We suggest the Bishop Mountain Residences Complex (2.4 km) starting at 45$ per night (shared washrooms, no air-conditioning) or the New Residence Hall (2.4 km) starting at 110$ per night (air-conditioned rooms with private washrooms).
