Lodging

Hotel Nikko will also be the primary lodging for ISWC 2011. For your convenience, ISWC 2011 has negotiated reduced room rates ($179 Deluxe King Bed and $199 Deluxe Double Beds, before tax). Staying at the official conference hotel helps keep overall conference costs low and allows us to offer more affordable rates to attendees.

Transportation

The Hotel Nikko is within walking distance of multiple subway (BART) and bus (MUNI) stops. Due to the difficulty of finding parking in San Francisco we highly recommend that attendees consider using public transportation.

Traveling between Airport and Hotel
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is approximately 14 miles from the Hotel Nikko. Attendees have many options for traveling between SFO and the hotel:
