For those of us who care about hotel rates, here's what I found by some pointing and clicking. The rates are SGD per night, not including tax and such. Prepaid rates are non-refundable, although I expect you could sell the room to someone else. Same building as the conference: Swissotel 290, breakfast 40 extra (wow) Fairmont 320, breakfast 30 extra Other places Carlson 245 Grand Pacific 155 prepaid, 175 prepaid w/ breakfast, 200 normal Grand Park 255 Novotel 215 prepaid w/ breakfast, 218 normal w/o breakfast Peninsula Excelsior 180 w/ breakfast and a cell phone. One night nonrefundable deposit. R's, John
