The 2027 International History Olympiad will be held at the Hotel MOA in the center of Berlin. With the exception of several competitions that may take place at sites of cultural or historical importance, all of the 2027 Olympiad competitions will take place at Hotel MOA, which is a convention hotel that can accommodate large groups. All families (except those who have received a special dispensation as part of their financial aid package) and school/student groups will be required to book rooms at the Hotel MOA through an official booking link to be able to take part. This will be available by the time registration for the Olympiad opens in late November 2026. Please do not book rooms at the Hotel MOA for the week of the Olympiad through any other method, including the hotel’s own site, before the booking link is available! Unaccompanied students in the Varsity and Junior Varsity Divisions will also stay at the Hotel MOA; IAC will assign their rooms to them after registration, and their parents do not need to book hotel rooms. Additional information on room rates and types will be available by the end of October 2026. The Hotel MOA is conveniently located at the Birkensstrasse stop on the U9 subway (i.e. U-Bahn) line; there are numerous restaurants and shops within a five minute walk, and there is a supermarket in the basement of the hotel. Breakfast is included in the hotel rate – no other meals are required.
