Possible Accomodations (please contact Pavel Guerzhoy for booking): / UPDATED /

The New Otani Kaimana Beach Hotel
This is a very good hotel located right on the beach, in a quite place half a mile away from Waikiki. It is, probably, a bit more expensive than most of us can afford. This is some 3 miles from the University.

The following two twins look as the preferred choice:
Ocean Resort Hotel and Queen Kapiolani Hotel
These hotels have the advantages of very good location and reasonable rates. They are two minutes walk from Waikiki beach, near the Honolulu Zoo. Rooms may have nice views. The hotels are around 2.5 miles from the University.

Hale Manoa Reasonable rooms for a very cheap price located on campus around 5 minutes walk from the workshop. A no-frills accomodation with shared bathrooms.
