Rates

Note: As of November 7, 2011, the Norwescon room block at the DoubleTree is sold out. But don’t fret! Other fine hotels in the area have been kind enough to make special arrangements for Norwescon attendees:

  • The Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center, just up the road from the DoubleTree, has set up a room block for $120 a night for one to four people (the same rate as the DoubleTree’s room block), plus the following perks:
    • The guest rooms will be double KING rooms, providing larger beds and more comfort. This is the Hilton’s premium room type and generally their most expensive room!
    • All guests staying at the Hilton will be offered a complimentary continental breakfast each day in a private Norwescon Hospitality/Lounge room.
    • Complimentary shuttle service between the Hilton and the Doubletree will be available each day for guests to get to and from the convention.
    • The Hilton will honor the same parking rates as the Doubletree: one complimentary car per room, each additional car will be $8.00 per night.

    Norwescon and the Hilton are happy to be able to offer these perks to those guests who didn’t get space at the DoubleTree. Use the group code “NRW” when booking your room to be sure you get the Norwescon rate.

Looking Ahead: Norwescon 36 Room Cancellation Policy

A change is coming in the way we reserve rooms for Norwescon. It is a significant change for our members but we believe it will help us make more convention rooms available for our members at the cheaper convention rate. For full details on what to expect, please see this weblog post.
