In case you need to get there on your own, it is located just before the Navalur toll plaza on Old Mahabalipuram Road (also known as Rajiv Gandhi Salai and, informally, the IT Highway).
For some participants from France, the hotel is funded by ARCUS. For the others, CMI will pay for the hotel between 31 January and 4 February. The hotel room rate includes free wifi and breakfast.
Local transport
We will arrange a taxi to meet you at the airport/station on your arrival. Please ensure that you send us your arrival/departure information, including flight/train numbers.
If you arrive at the airport, look for the driver holding a board saying CMI when you exit from the arrival area. Please note that there is a lot of construction going on in the parking area of the airport, so it is a bit messy outside the main terminal area.
If you arrive by train, the driver will stand with a board near the Higginbothams Book Stall.
CMI will organise transport to/from the hotel to the Institute during the workshop. The banquet on February 2 will be held in the same hotel.
