Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo
Four Seasons Tamarindo opened in 2022, offering an exclusive retreat-type feel. It has 157 luxurious guest rooms and 1,784 square feet of meeting space, including a variety of outdoor options. The hotel offers lots of complimentary onsite activities, so you don’t have to leave the resort, including nature walks, water activities, multiple pools, classes, and more.
Our Team's Take
This hotel is truly a little slice of tranquil heaven, and worth the journey. Upon arrival, you can understand why this resort is so special. Immediately upon entering the outdoor “front desk” you are greeted with the most amazing views of the ocean and resort. While the hotel offers beaches, pools, a few restaurants, and tons of activities, you may not want to leave your room. The majority of rooms offer a private pool or outdoor space. The hotel is a bit spread out, so they offer golf cart pickups to take you from place to place.

Marriott Marquis Houston
This expansive hotel is directly connected to the convention center via a convenient walkway and just a short bike ride from downtown Houston. Located only 10 miles from Houston Airport, the property features 960 guest rooms, including 40 suites, and boasts 152,914 square feet of indoor meeting space—highlighted by a 40,000-square-foot ballroom—plus an additional 30,000 square feet of outdoor event space surrounding its iconic Texas-shaped lazy river. Two dedicated floors of meeting rooms are seamlessly connected by escalators that lead directly to the convention center, ensuring effortless access for attendees. On-site dining includes five restaurants and a coffee bar, offering a range of culinary options to suit every guest.
Our Team's Take
This hotel is an excellent choice for large events, offering practical functionality and strong value without compromising on service or experience. The staff was attentive and well-prepared, demonstrating a clear understanding of our group’s needs and ensuring seamless direction and hospitality throughout our stay. The food was exceptional, and the outdoor pool area—complete with a unique and playful lazy river—offered a fun and memorable retreat. Beyond the hotel, we explored three standout off-site venues that truly reflect the vibrant spirit of Houston. Each space offered a distinct local flavor, making them ideal for groups seeking to experience the city beyond the confines of the conference room.

Loews Miami
Just 12 miles from the airport, this beachfront hotel offers 790 guest rooms and suites across two towers, along with two restaurants, two bars, and a coffee bar. It features 93,000 square feet of indoor meeting space across two floors—easily accessed by escalators—including a 28,000-square-foot ballroom. An additional 15,000 square feet of outdoor space on the lawn is also available. Guests can enjoy direct beach access with dedicated service for a seamless coastal experience.
Our Team's Take
Upon arrival, you know the level of service will be good when the greeter remembers your name from 6 hours earlier. The guest rooms were a pleasant surprise, especially considering a full renovation is underway — and the newly renovated rooms are absolutely gorgeous! While the lobby bar and restaurant were busy due to the Food & Wine Festival, the atmosphere was lively, and service at the pool was exceptional.

Goldener Hirsch
Goldener Hirsch, Auberge Resorts Collection in Deer Valley, Utah, offers a sophisticated setting for meetings and events, featuring 68 total guest rooms, suites, and residences across two buildings, ranging from 420 to 2500 square feet. Their largest meeting space, the Edelweiss Ballroom, spans 3,200 square feet and accommodates up to 347 guests in a theater-style setup. Additional spaces include the 1,960-square-foot Antler Lounge, ideal for pre-function gatherings. Nestled mid-mountain at Deer Valley Resort, the property offers ski-in/ski-out access, placing guests steps away from the Silver Lake Express and Sterling Express chairlifts. Architecturally, it blends a traditional Bavarian-style inn with modern residences designed by acclaimed architect Tom Kundig, creating a unique alpine ambiance.
Our Team's Take
From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed with five-star service and genuine hospitality. The team is warm, attentive, and detail-oriented, setting the tone for a luxurious stay. The hotel is currently updating its second building and refreshing its signature Antler Lounge. Nestled at the base of a mountain, the property offers easy access to skiing and scenic hiking trails. Due to its more remote location, we recommend arranging black car or taxi service in advance to ensure a smooth and stress-free arrival.

Shift Midtown
Shift Midtown is a unique event space that showcases cutting-edge technology. The venue is outfitted with top-tier tech, providing a fully immersive 360-degree video experience. The space spans 4,000 square feet over 2 levels—the main level is 2,400 square feet—and is loaded with features like concert-level lighting, surround sound, a full rigging system, adjustable walls, and a massive video wall facing the street.
Our Team's Take
Located on a quiet side street in Midtown West, this venue would be a great option for a dinner or reception. The venue comfortably seats 80 guests but can accommodate up to 100 if needed to maximize the space. The venue has a catalogue of projection visuals to select from, or you can create your own- the sky's the limit!

Paired with top-tier service, it’s a standout choice for hosting elegant, high-impact events in D.C.
Our Team's Take
Our experience while staying at the hotel was nothing short of the brand's 5-star rating. Their staff was very helpful and friendly, from arrivals, at the valet, to the housekeeping staff in the hallways. We loved their small nods to the city of D.C., like their daily presidential cookie display at 5:30 PM in the main lobby, featuring U.S. Presidents' favorite cookies. Guests can use the spa in the 100,000 sq ft Equinox Sports Club that is connected to the property. The hotel is within walking distance of George Washington University and provides convenient access to Washington, D.C.'s historical landmarks, theaters, and business districts.
