Second Magellan Science Symposium
Accommodations

The Local Organizing Committee has secured two blocks of
rooms for conference attendees. One block of rooms is at the
Hotel Tria and the other at the Sheraton Commander. The Sheraton
Commander is a Cambridge icon - a short walk from Harvard
Square and the CfA. The Tria is a somewhat longer walk
from the Observatory and a long walk to Harvard Square, but
considerably more affordable.  The Sheraton room rate will
be $225/night and the Tria will be $145/night.

These rates may be obtained by mentioning the Magellan
Science Symposium or the booking "MAGELL"

Please note these rates will only be available until
one month before the symposium, so on or around 29 Sept 2007
these rates will no longer be available and you will be at the
mercy of the Boston area hospitality industry.
There are numerous other alternatives, however Boston-area
accommodations are expensive, especially in the Fall. Last
minute reservations are likely to be particularly expensive.
There are several bed and breakfasts in Cambridge that are
generally somewhat more afffordable.

A compilation of other hotel/B & B options appears
below. Bettina's Network has been especially good at finding
pleasant, affordable B & B accommodations within walking
distance of the Observatory.
