Hotels

We recommend staying at one of the hotels in the Domain area, very close to the Commons. It's a convenient and pleasant area, with easy access to restaurants and shops. Please see the Commons' list of area hotels and book your own room directly with the hotel.

We encourage teams to coordinate and choose a hotel together, so members can stay in the same place and travel to the venue together.
