Ideal Offerings for Corporate Events and Retreats

Corporate Connection: events and retreats capabilities at hotels across the country

As many companies are reintroducing in-office work or adjusting to a permanent hybrid schedule, the corporate retreat, whether for a week or just an evening, is serving as a catalyst for workplace bonding, offering a way to reconnect with experienced employees, as well as spend time with those who were hired during fully remote periods. 

In the spirit of facilitating this connection within companies, we wanted to share a selection of hotels and resorts across the country that have ideal offerings for corporate events and retreats.  Below please find details on event capabilities at Dawn Ranch in Northern California, Gansevoort Meatpacking and Walker Tribeca in NYC, ACE Hotel and Maison de la Luz in New Orleans, and Shinola Hotel in Detroit.

Gansevoort Meatpacking - NYC

Following a multimillion-dollar rebrand and renovation in 2021, the new Gansevoort Meatpacking has solidified its place in the luxury market and is a hub for fashion, design, culinary excellence, and the arts. Since its opening in 2004, the 186-room hotel has served as an icon in the community, and now features three full-service restaurants, a year-round rooftop bar and restaurant, a 45-foot heated outdoor pool, and indoor and outdoor space where guests can enjoy unobstructed, 360-degree views of the Manhattan skyline. Just steps away from the Hudson River, the High Line, Little Island, premium shopping and dining, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Chelsea Market, and more, Gansevoort serves as an ideal space for events and retreats within New York City.
