EBACE Hotel

[Phil Brockwell]

Looking for a hotel with available rooms for EBACE, anyone done the ring around process yet? All the usual haunts seem booked up already.

Phil

[TheOtherSide]

Cant believe you have not got somewhere booked already.

Glad you are going to be there I think I owe you a beer!

[Phil Brockwell]

I know, perfectly planned as always. Give me a buzz on the mobile, I'm arriving 19th PM, flying back 22nd lunchtime.

[FLEXJET]

Hotel d'Angleterre downtown GVA has a room, but over 1000€...
Try Ramada in Carouge, or convenient hotels in France, like Holiday Inn in Thoiry, or Jiva Hill (very nice hotel). www.jivahill.com


Good luck Phill!

PS : are you going to order a Mustang? :)

[The Oxygen Boys]

I sure that you can share with Rod ;)

Phil

I'll try and get you into the one we're all staying at.

I'll drop you a line tomorrow.

Have you booked your EZY ticket?

[Martin Barnes]

try the holiday inn just over the border in france. they have a shuttle to GVA
we stay there when all the usual **** holes are full

[Phil Brockwell]

Yes, got the EZY tickets booked, should've checked the hotels first!

Martin, you know my opinion of the old enemy!

[Martin Barnes]

flying with the big orange !!

had you considered chartering ?.

I just had a great idea, lets buy a couple of small jets and run private flights at vast cost to where people want to be when they want to be there !

do you think it could work ?

[TheOtherSide]

MB and PB do you not talk in the office? Do you really need a forum to discuss such a cutting edge business plan?

[Rwy in Sight]

What is the name of the city across the french border?

Rwy in Sight

[Martin Barnes]

Thoiry I believe

[Phil Brockwell]

It's Sunday, neither of us are in the office.

[airmen]

Try "Villa du Lac" *** or "Le Jura"*** or "Domaine de Divonne"**** or "Chateau de Divonne" **** in Divonne les Bains!

Phil

Not in the office at 22.25 on a Sunday; what sort of tin pot outfit are you? No 24/7 ops.....:}

B_B

[Phil Brockwell]

We are 24/7 Ops, me in my office at home,

[Bus_Bar]

OK, but you don't have the benefit of being opposite a kebab shop

[TheOtherSide]

You got one of those office too Phil!

[Privatejetbroker]

Will the infamous PB tweed jacket be making an appearance?

I do sincerely hope so...

[Phil Brockwell]

This year I will be mostly wearing pinstripe.

[Bus_Bar]

I can't believe you were up at 07.29 this morning typing away after yesterday.......

[Monkey Boy]

I'm surprised either of you are up at all today - how was the after party "show"?

:E

[Bus_Bar]

little did I know that's where I was being dragged off to....

I still have a banging headache. It was good to see you again. If you have a party at EBACE don;t invite me, I'll only wake up with another headache. :}

[Privatejetbroker]

Pinstripes?

You'll look like one of the directors of Bookajet

[G-DESK]

My CEO from the US has just decided he wants to come along to EBACE. Don't much fancy topping and tailing with him and have tried all the places mentioned above along with many others. Unsuprisingly with no success :ugh:

Looking for a room from 19th for three nights. Anyone got any rooms booked they're not going to use - or know of a good campsite in the area? :sad:

[FLEXJET]

Hilton Evian, France is fully booked, but you may find other nice hotels available in this city. Expect 50 min driving time to GVA.

Annecy is also a lovely city with.

Airport Geneva: 58 km/36 miles and approx. 45 minutes drive.

select english language and good luck!

[Mark Ranger]

There were some rooms in Lausanne a while ago, and being a bit of a railway anorak, I did find out that you could get there by train direct from Gva Airport station. Journey time c30 mins.

Good luck in Geneva, there doesn't seem to be anything there at all.

Mark

[G-DESK]

Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated. Managed to get a room in Annecy (although I'd put money on it ending up not being the bossman who has to commute in every day!). Seems like Lausanne is booked up as well now.

[mjv]

not that close, but a lovely town:ok:

Hi Phil

Geneva is for losers !

Take the train (or hire car) and stay in Montreux (away from all the riff raff).
Suggest the Montreux Palace in Montreux, or if you fancy an unforgettable view, try Hotel Victoria in Glion (train to Territet - funiculaire to Glion). you won't regret it. http://www.victoria-glion.ch/

I called Expedia, they found me a hotel downtown, the Cornavin, no idea what it is like.

Phil

[G-DESK]

Stayed in the Cornavin a couple of years ago, it's fine for a place to sleep - no bar or restaurant as I recall but clean and spacious rooms. There's a great big clock in the lobby that is the tallest pendulum clock in Europe, or Switzerland, or something like that. It's right next to Geneva station so it's easy to get the train out to the airport and walk through to Palexpo.

[Phil Brockwell]

No Bar? Why would anyone build a hotel without a Bar?

[Moaiad]

Is anyone going to EBACE this year?

[S.F.L.Y]

I guess this is what the topic is all about...
Phil, why would you need a bar in the cornavin hotel while you have so many nice spots out of it?
