Lodging and Related Information

On June 26-29, 2023, the Association will celebrate the AATSP 105th Annual Conference in Salamanca, Spain. With the backing of Universidad de Salamanca, the Ciudad de Salamanca, and the Junta de Castilla y León, we aspire to hold the AATSP’s biggest annual event yet. Please book your lodging in advance.

Most of the conference will be held in the heart of Salamanca in the beautiful new Cursos Internacionales building that is adjacent to the Palacio de Congresos. 

When the AATSP meets in Salamanca, we do not have an official conference hotel. Conference attendees must arrange for their own lodging. There are options to match your budget. 

Click here for a list of hotels provided by the Ciudad de Salamanca.  We also suggest that you consult AIRBNB.com and enter Salamanca (Spain) for more options. We are looking for additional economical lodging possibilities and will post them here as they become available.

For those searching for a more affordable option, we have partnered with Livensa Living. They are offering lodging to attendees of our conference in their complex of luxury student housing located less than 10 minutes by foot from the University of Salamanca campus. They are offering lodging at a rate of 35 euros (~38 US dollars) per night. For more information about the accommodations, click here. If you are interested, you can reserve your room here.

All forms must include a DNI or your passport number. Incomplete forms will not be processed. Rooms are individual/single and only for use by ONE guest. All guests must be over 16 years old. If you have companions and would like to stay with Livensa Living, you will need to reserve an additional individual room. For any additional questions, please reach out to the staff of Livensa Living at living@livensaliving.com.
