4W's Suggested Hotel

Hotel Nexus is offering a special rate for 4W attendees: $100/night for a room with two queen beds or $120/night for a suite. Be sure to mention that you are part of the 4W conference. They will also have a shuttle to and from the event. The 4W Opening Night Dinner will be held at Hotel Nexus as well and will be catered by the Saffron Grill, a nearby Indian restaurant whose food--as the 4W staff can personally attest--is highly tasty.

For those flying into Seattle, Shuttle Express is also offering a discount for folks staying at the Nexus. Contact Shuttle Express's Shannon Anderson at (425) 981-7000 (and mention 4W) for details.
