North Wales is a gorgeous holiday spot, so we recommend booking your lodgings early!

and nearby recommended lodgings

Lodging on campus:

The Management Centre:  A comfortable hotel about 200 yards away from the Congress venue!  Rooms are cozy and quiet.  Excellent breakfast, and lots of space for relaxed catch-ups with colleagues.  To see the hotel, visit https://www.bangor.ac.uk/management-centre.   All rates include breakfast.

• Single: £126 (approx. $166)
• Double (single occupancy): £137 (approx. $181)
• Double (double occupancy): £151 (approx. $199)
• Executive/Twin/Family (single occupancy): £162 (approx. $214)
• Executive/Twin/Family (double occupancy): £176 (approx. $232)

A limited number of rooms are being held for our participants, on a first-come, first-served basis.  Reservation instructions will be provided immediately after you register for the Congress.

Bangor Student Residence Hall:  Individual rooms, just a few minutes’ walk from the Congress venue.  £35 per night for the room only (approx. $46).  With breakfast, for £50 (approx. $66).

• These rooms will be designated until December 9 for full-time students, who will be sent reservations instructions after registering for the Congress.  After December 9, these rooms will be available to all registrants.
• Please note:  We’ve heard that the beds are not the most comfortable (most students bring their own “mattress toppers” with them to school).  Just be aware before booking!  But certainly it’s hard to beat the price.

Other hotels near the University:

Within walking distance of the university, there are dozens of AirBnBs, guest houses, and small hotels, which you can find online.  Anything to the north and east of Holyhead Road will be a delightful walk to the University.  The whole area around the University is lovely, with great views in every direction.  (Note – do not book the Premier Inn, which is in an out-of-the-way location, with no shops or restaurants nearby.)

• Nomi Rooms – One place we tested out personally, at the tip of Bangor, right next to the water, with views of the Snowdonia mountains in the distance.  Incredible contemporary Indian restaurant for dinners.  Note that breakfast must be booked and paid for each evening in advance, if desired.  Small but cozy rooms.  Potential drawbacks: there is no proper lobby for hotel guests to spend time in, except for a small reception area, as the downstairs is devoted to the restaurant.  Also, may be a bit noisy in the evening, as the hotel overlooks the Garth Pier, a beloved local destination for sea views during the long mid-summer evenings.  To reserve, contact directly at reception@nomibangor.co.uk for favorable rates.  To see the hotel, visit https://www.nomibangor.co.uk/reserve-rooms.

Hotels across the strait, in the Menai Bridge area:

• There are a number of hotels directly across the water from Bangor, a truly lovely 20-25 minute bus ride or taxi ride away from the University.  We personally tested out the Victoria Hotel, which has a great pub, a lovely outdoor garden/patio, lovely views, and cozy rooms.  (Also in the area is the Angelsey Arms, and other hotels, guest houses, or AirBnbs, which can all be found online.)  To get from hotels in Menai Bridge, you can take the 62 or 4A bus.
