Hi all, If you're not already familiar with walkscore.com I highly recommend looking at it. You can find various amenities [coffee/ book? bars?] near the conference hotel and if you go to the More Amenities page, you can add "hotels" as an amenity and get a good overview of the hotels in the area and their relative location to the conference hotel. Enjoy!
