FINAL LEG ACCOMMODATION ANNOUNCEMENT

The time has come to reveal who you will be sharing a room with in Berlin during the LETR Final Leg.

But first, a little bit of information about where we will be staying

The Sheraton Berlin Grand Hotel Esplanade is a world class hotel located in the center of Berlin within walking distance of many of the main tourist attractions in the city, including the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, Berlin Wall Memorial and Tiergarten.

We've put together a slideshow to give you an idea of what the hotel looks like:

The accommodation at the hotel is all twin share and we've tried as hard as possible to keep team members together.  There have been a few occasions where we could not manage this - where we had an uneven number of female torch runners on a team; or where our Berlin or Brandenburg torch runners did not have english as a second language - but otherwise you'll generally find yourself teamed up up someone from your own team.

The PDF shows you the room listings in team order and then in the second section shows who you are sharing with in alphabetical order.

PRE AND POST STAYS IN BERLIN

We know from the travel itineraries that most of you have submitted that some of you are planning to either come into Berlin ahead of time (ie before June 12) or stay on afterwards (after June 19).  You may already have everything in hand accommodation wise and that's fine if you do.

But if you haven't booked accommodation yet, please hang off for a couple more weeks.  Mark McCorkle and Greg Dawson will be travelling to Berlin at the end of April for a series of meetings and announcements and will be talking with the Sheraton Hotel to see what can be done in terms of room availability and (hopefully) competitive room rates.

They will be back from Berlin in the first week of May and we'll let you all know what they have found out.

That's about all we have on the accommodation front at the moment
