Accommodation
The AORTIC 2013 Conference Secretariat has selected a range of hotels for delegates to choose from and has negotiated guaranteed rates. The hotels are near the conference venue and a shuttle will run between the two Southern Sun and two Garden Court hotels and the venue. There is an option suited to every delegate's preferences and budget, from good 3-star accommodation to a world-class 5-star establishment. Delegates can reserve accommodation at one of the official conference hotels when completing the registration form.
Delegates are welcome to make their own accommodation arrangements at a B&B, hostel or guesthouse. Please note the Conference Secretariat can only make bookings at the official conference hotels and cannot be responsible for accommodation booked independently by delegates. Delegates are encouraged to book accommodation close to the conference venue, the International Convention Centre Durban.
PLEASE NOTE: Accommodation booking will only open when registration opens. Booking accommodation at one of the AORTIC 2013 official conference hotels can be done via the online registration system.
