In 2017 we made our way to a new location for CZT seminar and we couldnt be more pleased The Providence Biltmore located in the heart of downtown Providence Rhode Island is a landmark hotel with an illustrious past Designed by the celebrated firm Warren and Wetmore the architects behind New York Citys Grand Central Station the hotel debuted to widespread acclaim in 1922 and quickly became the tourist and social center of Providence Today deeply woven within the citys fabric and culture and beloved by generations of guests the Providence Biltmore is an authentic Providence tradition If you wish to arrive early or stay later The Providence Biltmore will give Zentangle attendees reduced room rates for up to two days before andor after our seminar Please contact our Zentangle liaison Jeff Silva by email at jsilvaprovidencebiltmorecom and tell him you are with Zentangle and what type of room you selected during seminar Please do not call the hotel or book online as not all employees are familiar with our group You will be responsible for paying for any extra days you choose to stay It is important to note that the hotel will NOT have your name until 30 days before the seminar begins

be evening events on both of these nights staring at 730pm These are optional but hate to miss relaxing or creative handson events and most everyone attends Wednesday Class continues full of more tips for teaching and tangling from 830pm until around 500pm There is no dinner served on this last day Many people find it helpful to add this night as an extra night stay so as not to rush We understand
