As your blogging concierge, I thought I'd also point out some places you might be interested in checking out or dining at while in Seattle.  Our two hotels are the MarQueen (located at 600 Queen Anne Ave N) and the Inn at Queen Anne (located at 505 First Ave N).  Both are located close to our conference location at Seattle Center.  Use the map above to follow along if you'd like.  The "A" denotes the MarQueen.

The Melting Pot- fondue has always been hip!  Check it out for dinner: 14 Mercer Street

I have also heard great things about Toulouse Petit Kitchen & Lounge.  Check out their website to view the menu, they have great happy hour prices!  601 Queen Anne Avenue North

A personal favorite, and open 9a.m. to 2 a.m. wonderful Mexican American food with a Northwest flair: Peso's Kitchen and Lounge located at 605 Queen Anne Avenue North

More coastal style Mexican food can be found at Blue Water Taco Grill 515 Queen Anne Avenue North

Racha Noodles and Thai Cuisine is a winner too!  23 Mercer Street
Shiki Japanese Restaurant 4 W Roy St, will get your your Sushi fix.  You can find reviews on Urbanspoon and Yelp.

A Seattle institution: Dick's Drive In (not vegetarian friendly) 500 Queen Anne Avenue North

Mecca Cafe is your classic American diner food (and some may call a dive bar)... 526 Queen Anne Avenue North... reviews are on Yelp and Urbanspoon.

Get some BBQ at Floyd's Place located at 521 1st Avenue North- again reviews on Yelp and Urbanspoon.

Finally, you can also check out the chic Metropolitan Market (or Safeway Grocery Store) and get some yummy noms to take to a park (might I suggest Kerry Park, about a half mile from the hotels?).  Met Market is at 100 Mercer Street

There are lots of places to eat around there, but this is a list to get you started!

Below are links to albums of photos showing the interiors and exteriors of the two main hotels that have been reserved for the Haiku North America conference, coming up August 3-7, 2011. We will provide booking details (and the discount code) on the Haiku North America website. We hope conference attendees will be very comfortable at either of these two hotels. Suites at the MarQueen include a sitting room and full kitchen, and are $145 per night (includes breakfast), and the Inn at Queen Anne is about $85 per night (also includes a kitchenette, but not breakfast). Please visit the following links to see pictures of each hotel, and watch for more news soon about making your bookings at either hotel. Let us know if you have any questions!

MarQueen Hotel (a little more expensive, but nicer, about a block or so from our meeting facility)

The Inn at Queen Anne (cheaper, no elevator, but still comfortable, across the street from our meeting facility)

We look forward to seeing you at Haiku North America in Seattle!

Wanna share a room?

A number of rooms in the HNA conference hotels have two single beds or other combination, so sharing a room is a good way to cut the cost of your accommodations in half. Click the Room Sharing link under "Categories" to the right and then leave a comment to indicate your willingness to share a room. We’ll leave it up to you to sort out the details. 

And when we announce the hotel details (and discount code), you can indicate who you’ll share your room with (only if already agreed upon with your roommate) when you book your room.  

Here are two comments that we transferred from our previous blog:

Penny Harter wrote:"I’m interested in sharing a room—maybe with someone I already know. I’ll e-mail a few friends to see whether they’re available, but am also open to suggestion if they aren’t."
