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.

Hotel Accommodation:
IPAM has reserved a block of rooms at The Westwood on Wilshire Hotel, located in Westwood adjacent to UCLA campus, a 15 minute walk from IPAM. The hotel shuttle service will transport guests to and from IPAM as needed.

10740 Wilshire Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90024
Phone: 310-475-8711

IPAM’s room rate at The Westwood on Wilshire is $124/night (around $142 with tax). Please call to make your reservation; be sure to identify yourself as an IPAM guest. Rooms will be blocked until about two weeks before the first day of the workshop. In order to maintain this advantageous rate for all of our participants, we ask you to stay at this hotel if at all possible.

Airline Travel:
Please note the following guidelines for your travel reimbursement. Federal regulations require that travelers must book and ticket their flight through a US 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, please contact us before booking. Information on our policies and guidelines for visas, travel, and reimbursements is on our website. We strongly suggest you review this information as needed. Please contact our visa coordinator office for any visa related questions.

If you need assistance with your travel arrangements you can contact the UCLA Travel Office at (800) 235-UCLA or visit their website.
