Hotel Accommodation and Air Travel

If you are offered financial support and are not a US Citizen or Resident Alien, you must enter the country on the appropriate visa to be reimbursed for hotel and travel expenses. Similarly, if you will be on an H1-B visa at the time of the program, please let us know immediately since there are restrictions and arrangements must be made in advance with your visa sponsor. Please contact visa@ipam.ucla.edu for any visa related questions.

Hotel Accommodation:
IPAM has room blocks at two local hotels. In order to maintain these advantageous rates for all of our participants, we ask you to stay at one of these hotels if at all possible:

1. We recommend you try Hilgard House first. This hotel is a short walk from IPAM and Westwood Village. They offer free parking for one car, excluding vans and SUVs. The UCLA rate is $134/night for single occupancy (about $153 with tax). Please identify yourself as an IPAM guest when you make your reservation. Rooms will be blocked until three weeks before the first day of the workshop.

2. If Hilgard House is full, we recommend Hotel Angeleno. For those who cannot walk easily, this hotel offers shuttle service to campus. It is located about two miles from IPAM just off the 405 Freeway at the Sunset exit. Parking is available at $18/day. IPAM’s room rate at Hotel Angeleno is $159/night (around $182 with tax).

Airline Travel:
Please note the following guidelines for your travel reimbursement. Federal regulations require that travelers must book and ticket their flight through a U.S. carrier. This means that your flight must either be on a US airline, or if operated by a foreign airline the ticket must be issued by a US airline partner. Subject to this requirement, you should endeavor to obtain the best direct route, economy, round trip fare. If you are unable to find a ticket at an appropriate price, contact us at travel@ipam.ucla.edu before booking. Information on our policies and guidelines for visas, travel, and reimbursements is on our website at: http://www.ipam.ucla.edu/visitors/policies.aspx. We strongly suggest you review this information as needed.
