MANDATORY POLICY TO REQUIRE ALL DEPARTMENTS TO USE THE CITYU LODGE (只提供英文版本)

CityU Lodge was established to provide quality and convenient accommodation facilities on campus to support the University's rapid growth of academic activities. The Lodge also serves as the University's strategic development to enhance the campus environment and provide the necessary environment for the increasing number of world-renowned scholars to come to the University for scholarly activities, exchanges, and collaborations.

It was endorsed by the University that it is a mandatory requirement that all departments book the Lodge as the priority for their guests and visitors and for holding academic activities. Please strictly adhere to this requirement when making accommodations for guests and visitors invited by your College/department/Office/Unit.

Please note that the arrangement with the CityU Lodge involves an internal charge between the respective departments and the Lodge, which has no financial impact at the University level. On the contrary, opting to stay off-campus entails actual cash outflow to a third party for accommodation payment, which has a tangible financial impact on the University. Therefore, proper justification should be provided for any deviations from this mandate.

CityU Lodge will issue a confirmation letter to prove that the Lodge cannot accommodate your request:
1.    CityU Lodge can only provide a partial room(s) for your department;
2.    CityU Lodge cannot provide room for the entire period requested by your department.

Remarks:
If the standard room at CityU Lodge is unavailable during the requested period. The delegated booker should:
1.  Reserve accommodation in any other room type (except Suite) at CityU Lodge; 
2.  Obtain approval from the Finance Office (FO) before providing off-campus accommodation to guests.
