Housing Resources
It is standard for visitors of the Fields Institute to make their own housing arrangements. This housing resources page provides information on several types of short and long term accommodation.
The information provided on this page is presented as a service to Fields visitors. The Fields Institute does not endorse these establishments and sites.
Arrangements (bookings, reservations, and rental arrangements) are made independently of the Institute and settled between the visitor and the establishment. Fields Institute staff cannot do this on behalf of a visitor. Please note that, if you are offered funding support by the Fields Institute, all reimbursement claims are subject to limits set out in our reimbursement policies; a listing on this page does not mean that accommodation booked is automatically eligible for reimbursement.
If you stay at any of these establishments and have issues or compliments regarding your stay, please let us know so we can revise our listing accordingly.
