Accommodations
Whether you’re looking for comfort, convenience, or affordability, IUCr2026 has you covered. A wide range of hotels near the BMO Centre offer modern amenities and easy access to the Congress. For students, we’re also providing low-cost dormitory accommodations outside the downtown area. While the dorms aren’t walking distance, every student staying there will receive a rail pass, making travel to and from the venue simple and stress-free. By booking through our official housing blocks, you’ll not only lock in special rates—you’ll also be directly supporting the Congress. Every reservation helps us manage costs and deliver the best possible experience for all attendees.

Stay Safe: Avoiding Room Booking Scams
IUCr2026 is not utilizing the services of any housing bureau or online hotel booking sites for this event. To secure your accommodations, please make your reservation directly with our official hotels by using the designated attendee links provided. By booking within the official block, you are not only guaranteed the best rates and amenities, but you are also helping support the success of the Congress by ensuring we meet our contracted room commitments.
We encourage all participants to remain cautious of third-party companies that may contact exhibitors or attendees with offers for “discounted” hotel rates. Booking through such companies can lead to problems such as false or invalid reservations, unexpected convenience fees, loss of deposits, or other penalties. IUCr2026 cannot guarantee room rates or availability arranged through third-party vendors. Providing your credit card information to unauthorized companies may result in charges without a valid reservation upon your arrival in Calgary.
