The official Congress hotel is
SwissTech Hotel
(Route Louis-Favre 10b, CH-1024 Ecublens, Switzerland)

Lausanne offers a wide selection of accommodation options, ranging from budget-friendly alternatives to comfortable three-star properties and luxurious five-star hotels. Whether you prefer lakefront luxury, charming boutique hotels or modern city stays, you will find a suitable place to stay.

Lausanne Tourisme is our accommodation handling partner for the 31st ECSS Annual Congress and together, we have secured a large number of hotel rooms for our Congress days.

Participants can use two official booking portals – Artegis and HotelMap – to explore available hotels for the Congress. From ‘Book now, pay at the hotel’ to ‘Flexible Cancellation’ and ‘non-refundable’ payment terms, you have an array of options to choose from.

Because the portals pull their data from different sources, they may list different hotels or prices for the same property. Browsing both portals ensures you see the full range of options and can choose the accommodation that best fits your needs. Each portal lists the payment and cancellation terms for the rooms it offers, so please review these carefully before booking.

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. Over the next weeks, participating hotels will continue to update their room availability. Since rooms may book out quickly during the busy summer period in the Olympic Capital, early reservations are recommended to ensure the best rates and choice.

Contact

For any questions or specific requests, please contact the hotels directly (telephone number and/or email are indicated next to the hotel name on the booking platform) or the Lausanne Tourisme office (Tel +41 21 613 73 14 or via email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
