accommodation   

The Organizing Committee recommends the Korston Hotel Moscow****.
The hotel is located within walking distance (10 - 15 minutes) from the Lebedev Institute.
A shuttle bus will be running daily between the hotel and the Institute in the morning, in the evening, and at lunch time.

It is our pleasure to offer discount prices for the duration of the Conference. Depending on the chosen option, the discount price ranges from Euro 140 to 230. For example, the Comfort option is Euro 140 - 155 per night
