Both numbers failed, but the reservation worked out per email ('[email protected]'). Refer to the MPI09 group code. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Torsten Hoefler Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 5:41 PM To: Main MPI Forum mailing list Subject: Re: [Mpi-forum] Sept 2-4 MPI Forum meeting in Helsinki On Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 11:34:58AM -0400, Rich L.

I have heard of people having trouble making a room reservation at the Radisson in Helsinki. I was just able to make a reservation in the room block - the key seems to get the correct hotel (turns out there are 3) - The Royal Blue hotel. I just made mine. It's a bit complex because the front desk doesn't accept the group rate. However, they will give you another number (+358201234700 or 08001158775) which is the central SAS reservation number. The 0800 is a European toll-free number, so I don't know if it's possible to call it from the US (I failed), however, the other one works :). There you can make the reservation by just asking for the group rate "MPI09" (they will find the right hotel with this hint). You have to ask for a confirmation email (they won't do it by default).
