Location
WISE-2009 will take place at the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa.
This distinguished venue is a beautiful Waldorf-Astoria resort, and we
hope it will enhance the 20th Anniversary WISE experience. You may
consider arriving a day or two early to enjoy this property! In addition to the block of rooms we reserved
for Sunday December 13 and Monday December 14, a limited number of
rooms is available at the WISE rate for December 11-12 and December
15-16.
You can reserve your room online.
Use Group/Convention code WPCS (under "Special Accounts" heading, after specifying the dates and room preferences).
The WISE room rate is $169/night and it shows as the rate for the W.P. CAREY SCHOOL. There
is a mandatory $25/night resort fee covering access to the spa and
fitness center, high speed internet, use of the 18 hole putting course,
local calls and long distance access. During online reservations this
will show as the standard $28/night fee, but the discounted $25 rate
will show on your actual bill.
Please
note that the resort fee isn't included in the total estimated cost of
your reservation.
The
Phoenix Airport is large, and you need to take a shuttle to/from the
rental cars area. Please take this into consideration for your
departure flight and allow an extra 30 min to drop off a rental car. If
you only require transportation to/from the WISE and ICIS hotels, you
may want to take a taxi or use a shuttle service instead of renting a
car. If you do rent a car, the Biltmore charges $12/night for
self-parking and $27/night for valet parking and parking charges are
comparable at the ICIS hotel.
