Regenburg is blessed with many lovely hotels at a variety of prices. We have special conference offers from some of them here, if you book through the Tourismus office of Stadt Regensburg. Book early to secure a good deal. The link to do so is found below in German and English. Those further out of the city centre are cheaper, but will require an easy bus trip in. Those within walking distance of the venue will be more expensive.
