Murder and Mayhem Conference: Accommodation in Prato
Please contact the hotel of your choice to make accommodation bookings.
The Monash Centre in Prato is non-residential but the city of Prato offers a large range of long and short term accommodation options. Many of these are within walking distance of the Monash Centre (see map below). Centre staff can provide advice as to the most suitable options, however bookings must be made directly with the hotels/ residences. Individuals planning to remain in Prato for extended periods should contact staff for advice about apartment-style accommodation. (The following is not an exhaustive list of available options). If you need assistance, please contact Ms Kerryn Morey
