Accommodations

During the printing industry exhibition hotels are not easy to find and prices increasingly rise due to the high demand. If you are looking for a beautiful Hotel within walking distance of the drupa, Press Parts Outlet recommends the Tulip Inn. For special occasions, events or hosting customers reserve accommodation on the hotel ship. The hotel ship persuades the drupa guest through excellent dinners, quiet rooms, and fair pricing.

If many hotels are already fully booked at a later date of the reservation, Press Parts Outlet suggests you to focus on youth hostels or nearby guestrooms (e.g. Airbnb).
