Flexible cancellation
Hotels generally allow cancellations free of charge up to a few days before arrival. Please check the specific cancellation policies when booking, as terms may vary between hotels.

Book now, pay at the hotel
In most cases, your credit card details will be required to guarantee your reservation, but payment is typically made directly at the hotel upon arrival or departure.

Plan your stay early
As Lausanne is a popular summer destination, we strongly encourage you to plan your trip early and secure your accommodation well in advance. Together with Lausanne Tourisme, we secured a large number of hotel rooms for our Congress days and many hotels offer flexible cancellation policies, allowing you to book now and adjust your plans later, if needed. Over the next weeks, participating hotels will continuously upload their room availabilities. Early booking will ensure better rates and availability during the busy summer period in the Olympic Capital.
