IPC8 Hotel Information

(As you can see, the conference location has changed. This was done because of construction delays. Rest assured that the conditions have not changed.)

The conference will be held at the Key Bridge Marriott, located just across the Potomac river from Washington, D.C.

Hotel Address

The Key Bridge Marriott
1401 Lee Highway
Arlington, VA 22209
Phone: 703-524-6400

Reservation Procedure

A block of rooms has been reserved for Sunday, January 23 (earliest check-in date) through Friday, January 28 (latest check-out date). The room rate is $129.00 plus tax.

Room reservations should be made by calling either the toll-free Marriott Worldwide Reservations Center line (1-800-228-9290) or the Key Bridge Marriott directly (1-703-524-6400). Request the group rate for the 8th International Python Conference.

All reservations that were made with the Hilton Alexandria Old Town have been transferred to the Key Bridge Marriott; if you made a reservation with the Hilton, you will receive a confirmation.

The hotel has extended the deadline for the group rate until close of business (US East Coast time) on January 6, 2000. We highly recommend that you reserve your room now! If you wish to stay at the hotel but register after the 6th, the least expensive room you will be able to get is $179/night (plus tax).

The hotel has also agreed to offer the $129.00 per night rate for three days prior to the conference and three days after the conference to anyone who reserves rooms in the official block.

Check-In/Check-Out Times

All guests arriving before 3 p.m. will be accommodated as rooms become available. The Bell Staff can arrange to check baggage for guests arriving early when rooms are unavailable, and for guests attending functions on their scheduled departure day.

In the event that a guest who has requested a room within the block checks out prior to the guest's reserved check-out date, the hotel will add an early check-out fee to that guest's individual account. Guests wishing to avoid an early check-out fee should advise the hotel at or before check-in of any changes in their planned length of stay.
