Hi Folks,
Say, I thought I'd let you know that we've now booked about 20 people from CodeWeavers into the Rex Hotel:
http://www.zuerich-hotels.ch/html/index.php?id=21&no_cache=1&L=1
The say they have more rooms at the rate they quoted me (120 CHF), so others might want to investigate.
I have no reason to think that the Rex is particularly bad or nice; There were plenty of other places in town, some that looked nicer; the Rex has the main quality of having replied to my email <grin>.
There are some hostels in town that are much less, and a few less expensive hotels around, as well as a number of other, probably nicer hotels. The one thing I found was that there was nothing but quite expensive (and full) hotels near the Google offices, so a 15 minute tram ride appears to be a must no matter where you stay.
At any rate, I'm looking forward to seeing you all; I'll see if we can't find a bar near the Rex we can propose as a meeting place for Friday night...
Cheers,
Jeremy

The Rex seems to be fully booked now as the agent just mailed me :(

I just did an online booking using the link from the hotel website, and while I got my room at a more expensive rate (165 CHF), I did get a room.
Cheers, Kai

Uh-oh. And I didn't book yet. Anyone with a room want to split it? - Dan

I called them later today, and they still had a room for me.
Perhaps you need to call them and also refer to "Wine Conference", the latter helped Kai.
