For your convenience, hotel request can be made through IOF at the same time as the Advanced Training Course registration. The IOF cannot guarantee the rate nor the availability of the hotel rooms for participants registering after December 18, 2009 and assignment to either Métropole or Boscolo Hotels will be made on a ‘first-come, first-served’ basis.

Due to enhanced online security measures, the IOF cannot capture electronically credit card payment information to be submitted to a third party (Hôtel Métropole as a coordinating hotel).

Therefore, once the IOF has transferred your request, the Hôtel Lyon Métropole (coordinating hotel) will contact you within 5 business days with a temporary accommodation confirmation (against availability) that will be validated once you have submitted proof of financial guarantee directly to the hotel as:

  • either a credit card number guarantee faxed or e-mailed back to the Hôtel Lyon Métropole (coordinating hotel); or
  • a proof that a bank transfer has been requested with your bank and has been forwarded directly to the Hôtel Lyon Métropole (coordinating hotel).

Your temporary accommodation confirmation will be held for a maximum of 10 working days. The Coordinating Hotel reserves the right to cancel the pre-reservation, in case the payment by bank transfer for the hotel deposit is not received in their account within the given 10 working days or a credit card number as a payment guarantee has not been submitted within that same time period.

The IOF will only act as a customer service intermediary between the hotels and the participants. The IOF will not bear any liability, nor financial responsibility towards the hotels, nor the participants. The IOF will not directly debit any deposit or penalty payments from your credit card for your hotel booking.
