Hotel Accomodations in Coventry, UK
There is no "conference hotel" for SIGDOC 2005, since there is a wealth of accommodation available at all price levels. For example, there are two hotels (part of the Accor chain) on the Technology Park site, and several more within easy walking distance of the conference location. Anywhere with a 'CV1' postcode is in easy walking distance from the Conference centre. You can locate the conference centre using this link to Multimap. Enter the Postcode of a hotel to find its position.
Please note that SIGDOC is not affiliated with any of these establishments; the information below is provided solely for information purposes.
