At the end of September/beginning of October each year all roads in Munich lead to the Theresienwiese, a giant grass meadow about the size of 20 football fields near the centre of the city. The occasion is the world's biggest party, the Munich Oktoberfest. The field becomes a beer-drinking city, complete with its own post office, police force and fire department, and most importantly numerous huge tents, erected by the various Bavarian breweries, that serve as massive beer halls. The first keg is tapped in ceremonial style to open the two-week celebration, which draws hundreds of thousands of revellers from all around the world. Apart from the rollicking beer halls where traditional Bavarian bands belt out their old favourites, the festival offers a host of carnival games and fun park rides, as well as stalls selling a range of German delicacies.
Date: 19 September to 4 October 2009; Website: http://www.oktoberfest.de/
If anyone has attended the Oktoberfest in previous years, you will know how difficult it can be to find affordable hotel accommodation.
We have secured a limited number of rooms at the 3* Tulip Inn Munich Schwabing hotel which is on the outskirts of Munich - While the hotel is not centrally located, there are very good transportation links to the centre of Munich.

White party
This year marks the 29th annual White party week - This is the worlds largest and oldest HIV/AIDS fundraiserand takes place between the 25th-30th November 2009 in Miamii Florida. Every year for the past 29 years, individuals have travelled from all around the world to attend this premier event.
The Health Crisis Network first held the White Party in 1985, and Since then, the event has grown from a small effort that raised about $16,000 to a major source of revenue for AIDS research, bringing in millions of dollars annually. The White Party has grown from a single evening event to a week-long series of social occasions. The White Party’s name derives from the tradition that participants at all events dress entirely in white clothing
If you will be attending this huge event and need hotel accommodation then we have secures limited space at the 4* Intercontinental Miami which is ideally located in Downtown Miami and Soars 34 stories over glistening Biscayne Bay. While there are not a large choice of restaurants, bars or nightlife close to the hotel- It does provide a good value and comfortable base from which to enjoy the White party events.
Overall the Intercontinental Miami hotel is just a short stroll to the Bayside tourist complex - Good for some light shopping. If you want to go to South Beach then it's about a 15 minute taxi ride away...
For further information on rates and availability for the Intercontinental Miami over these dates please contact caroline@gtahotels.com
