The Hanover Marriott. Better in EVERY Way.

[Dragoneer]

We've moved to a new hotel, and we're working on improving everything
from the ground up. So let's start by talking about the new hotel, the
Hanover Marriott.

What's better?

Simply put: everything.

The hotel was designed with natural lighting mind, so it never feels
claustrophobic and always shines. Open. Clean. Accessible. The layout
is simple, easy to navigate, with efficient high speed elevators and
plenty of places for impromptu get togethers. The hotel is local to
dozens of restaurants and shopping, and is a relatively short drive
away from New York City (for the sight-seeing inclined!).

=====Let's Talk Con Space=====
The Hanover Marriott has more than TRIPLE the convention space of the
ol' Hotel ML. That means no more crowded rooms, a bigger Dealer's Den
and far, far more dedicated space for events. It gives us the ability
to plan bigger panels, and spread them out over more rooms.

If we ever wanted one thing: more con space. Now we've got it, and in
droves!

=====The Auld Shebeen=====
An Irish pub found within the Marriott, the Auld Shebeen is an amazing
lil' gem. Let's be honest: most hotel restaurants? Not so great. The
Auld Shebeen is one of the exceptions. Constructed of hundreds year
old reclaimed wood and stonework imported from Ireland, the Auld
Shebeen is rich with atmosphere, tasty food and beverages that won't
at a fair price. The food is astounding, and the service exceptional.

=====A Better Headless Lounge & Fursuit Space=====
Last year's Headless lounge was disappointing. We realized we could
have done better, should have done better... so we are! The new
Headless Longe has four separate individual air conditioners, multiple
fans and built in water stations with FILTERED water!

Quite a step up. We want to ensure suiters feel welcome at the con.
The hotel space is vastly larger, ensuring there's TONS more space for
you to run around and play!

=====A Wine Bar=====
In addition to the regular cocktails we feature at FAU, the Hanover
Marriott features a wine bar (found in the lobby) with 20 different
wines available on tap. The wine is controlled via the hotel, and
attendees can purchase a card from the front desk to access the
various wines. Wine is rotated daily to ensure freshness.

We encourage all attendees to drink responsibly.

=====The Rooms=====
The Hanover Marriott put in over $20,000,000 in renovations just two
years ago, and it shows. All the rooms have been renovated with new
beds, furniture, fixtures and more. All rooms have LCD HDTVs (and
"jack packs" that allow every connection to the TV from HDMI, S-Video
and more). The rooms have nearly every TV connection imaginable. Want
to hook up your Xbox? Laptop/Computer? You're covered.

There's more, too... but that's for a later post!
