Stockholm Meeting Information Fredrik Jonsson X3J16/96-0083 WG21/N0901 This is a copy of the information, brought to Santa Cruz, about the July meeting in Stockholm. (Maps and company information have been excluded though.) At the end of this message is an ascii version of the room reservation form that was enclosed with the paper information. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- THE HOTEL The Stockholm meeting in July will be held at the Sheraton Hotel, located right in the middle of central Stockholm. A group reservation of 55 single rooms has been made at Sheraton at the price of 950SEK per night (about 140$ USD) including 12% VAT. For this price you get a high standard single room with two beds and all expected features like 24-hour roomservice, mini bar, hairdryer, phone, TV and paymovies and so on. Note that, breakfast is included in the room rate and this is also how most hotels practice in Sweden. To make a reservation you should use the enclosed room reservation form and fax it to the hotel. If you have any further whishes/requirements about the room, add that information to your fax message on a second page. Enclosed you will also find a brochure called "Hotels and youth hostels" where you under the sections "Hotels in Stockholm City" and "Youth hostels in Stockholm City" can find less expensive alternatives. Sheraton Stockholm Hotel & Towers Tegelbacken 6 101 23 STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN Phone: (+46)-8-14 26 00 Fax: (+46)-8-21 70 26 TRANSPORTATION Arlanda is the name of the airport in Stockholm, Sweden. From there you can take either a taxi (300-350SEK, 50$ USD) directly to Sheraton Hotel in Stockhom City or an Arlanda bus (60SEK, 9$ USD) to the Central Station. The transport takes about 40 minutes but if you take the bus (recommended) you will arrive at the Central Station which is a 2 minutes' walk away from the Sheraton Hotel. (Sheraton is visible from the station) We do not recommend car rental as an alternative of transportation. THE MEETING The meeting will be held at Sheraton Stockholm. Below is a short summary of the agenda: Sunday: One conference room taking about 15 people will be available 12:00-17:00 (or later) for the WG21 meetings. If this meeting is held anytime between 12:00-17:00, coffe, cockies and fruits will be served. Monday-Friday: The plenary meeting hall and three conference rooms will be available 08:00-19:00 (we will be able to use these rooms even later when neccessary). One of the conference rooms will be available on a twenty-four hour basis for late night group work. Coffe/tea/softdrinks, cockies and fruits will be available 10:00 and 14:00. On Friday we will have one group room available plus the plenary meeting hall. Lunch is included for those who'd like to eat a predetermined meal at the hotel. You will receive menus later on. Also, one evening we expect to spoil you a bit. (The day for this will be determined by the weather) AFTER WORK ACTIVITIES There are really a lot places to visit in Stockholm and to write a list of these attractions would end up in a very long list and I don't have that intention. To give some kind of information on this I would like to say that pubs, restaurants and night clubs are most frequently found in the areas of the inner City (near the hotel) down to Kungstrddgerden and Stureplan, Gamla Stan (Old Town), Slussen/Svder (The South) but you will find good places almost everywhere. On the attached maps I have put out some * to indicate these areas. Eating at a restaurant in Stock holm isn't very expensive really. Typically a steak meal at a pub costs about 80-150SEK (12- 22$ USD). On the otherside, beer and drinks are not exactly for free. Typically a beer costs around 4-6$ USD. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- S Sheraton Stockholm __________________ HOTEL & TOWERS ITT Sheraton RESERVATION FORM FOR DELEGATES PARTICIPATING ISO/WG21 ANSI/X3J16 7-12 JULY 1996 SHERATON STOCKHOLM WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO RESERVE YOUR ROOM BY FILLING IN THIS FORM.
