ISIPTA '03: Accommodations

ACCOMMODATIONS IN LUGANO

General information

Lugano is popular with tourists and the summer is a busy period, so we recommend to book your room as soon as possible. Note that the room you will book may have no air conditioning. During summer the weather in Lugano can be quite warm and humid, but despite this air conditioning is not widespread. You may also want to anticipate you stay with respect to the start of ISIPTA '03, in the case you are a jazz lover: on the days 10--12 July, there will be the famous Estival Jazz, which is open air and free in Lugano's main square. Big names usually play jazz at Estival. In the following you can find a list of hotels which have an agreement with ISIPTA '03, some cheaper alternatives, and instructions to have maps of and itineraries in Lugano.
