[11:02:24] <wm-bb>	 <hayify> Any updates on the discounted hotel rates for the venue in Milan? Of course it's still two months away, but i would like to start booking...
[11:29:13] <wm-bb>	 <siebrand> 4 nights is €669 at the moment in the event venue. €726 with breakfast. That’s pretty steep. Care to share, @hayify ? (re @hayify: Any updates on the discounted hotel rates for the venue in Milan? Of course it's still three months away, but i would like to st...)
[12:00:46] <wm-bb>	 <hayify> Yeah i've already booked a flight. (re @siebrand: 4 nights is €669 at the moment in the event venue. €726 with breakfast. That’s pretty steep. Care to share, @hayify ?
[12:00:47] <wm-bb>	 <hayify> Although ...)
[12:01:22] <wm-bb>	 <sjoerddebruin> Insane prices for volunteers (re @siebrand: 4 nights is €669 at the moment in the event venue. €726 with breakfast. That’s pretty steep. Care to share, @hayify ?
[12:01:23] <wm-bb>	 <sjoerddebruin> Although ...)
[15:01:28] <wm-bb>	 <IsmaelOlea> I booked a near hotel  lot of cheaper. (re @hayify: Any updates on the discounted hotel rates for the venue in Milan? Of course it's still three months away, but i would like to st...)
[15:20:41] <wm-bb>	 <siebrand> Great. Please share! (re @IsmaelOlea: I booked a near hotel  lot of cheaper.)
[15:50:19] <wm-bb>	 <CristianCantoro> I have also booked an hotel ~10 minutes by foot from the venue
[16:10:25] <wm-bb>	 <CristianCantoro> Best Western + The Hub
[16:10:41] <wm-bb>	 <CristianCantoro> Also that is cheaper than the venue
[16:14:14] <wm-bb>	 <IsmaelOlea> http://www.klimahotelmilano.com/ (re @siebrand: Great. Please share!)
[16:14:35] <wm-bb>	 <IsmaelOlea> any other hotel is cheaper than the venue :-| (re @CristianCantoro: Also that is cheaper than the venue)
[16:15:43] <wm-bb>	 <Thecladis> for the event dates or now? I would imagine now prices are inflated to milk all the olympics visitors (re @siebrand: 4 nights is €669 at the moment in the event venue. €726 with breakfast. That’s pretty steep. Care to share, @hayify ?
[16:15:44] <wm-bb>	 <Thecladis> Although ...)
[16:16:10] <wm-bb>	 <Thecladis> ah though Wikimedia events are traditionally in very expensive hotels
[16:18:13] <wm-bb>	 <sjoerddebruin> Wikimania has overlap with tour de france so expect high prices there as well
[17:54:32] <wm-bb>	 <Effeietsanders> Makes sense if they booked a block already. (re @IsmaelOlea: any other hotel is cheaper than the venue :-|)
[17:55:18] <wm-bb>	 <Effeietsanders> Didn't answer the question if there's a discount rate available of course.
[18:22:03] <wm-bb>	 <tehreedy> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2026/Venue says there is one basically "coming soon"
[20:40:47] <wm-bb>	 <hayify> Yeah i saw that as well, but that message has there for at least two weeks or so. (re @tehreedy: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2026/Venue says there is one basically "coming soon")
