ACCOMMODATION
NECA has secured rooms at the conference venue, The ACE Hotel, with favourable rates available exclusively for attendees of the Conference. By booking your accommodation as part of your online registration, you can also lock in the discounted rate.
Multiple room types are available but room numbers are strictly limited and we recommend booking your preferred option quickly. May is a very busy time of year for Kyoto meaning that limited accommodation at other properties will be available and rates are high, although still much lower than the peak cherry blossom season.
All rates below are for the room only and include local taxes & fees. Breakfast can be purchased directly at the hotel. We recommend viewing the breakfast options and considering the ala-carte option.
Please note a credit card guarantee MUST be received with your registration to secure your booking. Payment for all accommodation rooms will be taken 40 days prior to the conference on 24 March 2025. We have tried to negotiate flexible terms and conditions as much as possible. Before making your selection, please ensure you read the payment terms and cancellation conditions below.
Should you wish to extend your stay pre or post conference and all dates are not available through the booking system please contact the Conference Secretariat on +61 2 9436 0232 or via email necaconference@conceptevents.com.au.
The ACE Hotel
Ace Hotel Kyoto stands at a crossroads of ancient artistry and contemporary cool. Crafted in genuine dialogue with Kyoto’s historical and future legends, this boutique gem is guided by an East-meets-West philosophy, from the building’s interiors to its three distinct restaurants, each one helmed by a venerated American chef. There’s also Japan’s first Stumptown Coffee Roasters outpost and a verdant courtyard garden.
Located in central Kyoto, the hotel has a direct connection to Karasuma Oike Station South, which means after you’ve explored one of the best places to stay in the city you can catch the train to just about anywhere. The ACE Hotel is the location for all conference sessions. Transport is provided from the hotel for all social functions and partner activities.
Facilities in the hotel include 24-hour gym and front desk as well as free WiFi.
