There may be some attrition so it is worth calling the hotel (Renaissance Providence) to see a room at the group rate ($135) is available. -- 888 236-2427, 401-919-5000 Some nearby hotels (all in walking distance of the Renaissance): Courtyard Providence: http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/pvddt-courtyard-providence-downtown/ 1-800-321-2211, 1-401-272-1191 Hilton Providence: http://www1.hilton.com/en_US/hi/hotel/PVDPRHF-Hilton-Providence-Rhode-Island/index.do 1-800-HILTONS, 1-401-831-3900 Westin Providence: http://www.westinprovidence.com/ 800- WESTIN-1, (401) 598-8000 Hotel Providence http://www.hotelprovidence.com/ 800-861-8990, 401-861-8000 Providence Biltmore http://www.providencebiltmore.com/ 800-294-7709 On Sun, Jan 11, 2009 at 7:14 PM, Bess Sadler <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hey, Brian.
