The Le Meridian Grand Pacific Tokyo is the
main APOC hotel, it overlooks Tokyo Bay and is the largest hotel in
this capital city
.just minutes away from central Tokyo.
Featured are six restaurants and three lounges covering
cuisine from Japanese to Chinese to Italian.
A sky lounge sits atop for spectacular views of the Tokyo
Harbor. The elegant
Ginga Room, on the sky-view floor, is the setting for the APOC
Opening Ceremonies and Banquet.
Just off the hotel Atrium Plaza is the Monorail Station that
connects guests with nearby shopping and entertainment centers.
The Tokyo Bay Ariake Washington Hotel is an additional site and is designed in the style of a Japanese business hotel. This means that rooms will be small and amenities basic. It is a 10 minute walk to the monorail station and a 20 minute walk to the Conference Center.
We will also have other Congress events that have become tradition. The first evening will be the official International Banquet and Opening Ceremonies. A Farewell Party is set for the evening of October 14 and will include a dinner cruise in the Tokyo Bay. Time has been set aside on the afternoons of October 1314 for cultural tours. A variety of Post-Congress tours are also available.
