    5 of the Best Places to Have a Corporate Retreat

    When selecting the right place for your corporate retreat, it’s best to think of each potential location as a collection of resources. Ask yourself, “What do I want to accomplish on this retreat and how can this location help me achieve that?” To get that conversation started, here are five of the best settings for your next corporate retreat and what they can offer.

    San Diego, California

    Sunny San Diego practically has a local industry dedicated to team-building and hands-on learning opportunities. Aside from inexpensive training exercises in a variety of skills and technologies, San Diego also has a unique opportunity in the Mexico Business Center. The MBC creates a clear path for cross-border commerce and is a great resource for any organization interested in learning about new markets among our southern neighbors.

    Seattle, Washington

    Farther up the West Coast, Seattle and its environs are fertile ground for innovation. The Central Business District of downtown Seattle is a dense collection of conference centers, corporate services, and vibrant entertainment. Just across Lake Washington, the city of Bellevue presents a more relaxed environment. The Woodmark Hotel on the north end of Bellevue is one of best-reviewed venues in the region for business travel thanks to its lakeside views and easy access to several major business districts.

    Park City, Utah

    The stunning mountain town of Park City is best known as the home of the Sundance Film Festival, but it has a lot to offer business groups as well. In addition to year-round training seminars, Park City also offers plenty of core team-building opportunities far from any desk or computer. This is where teams learn how to literally stay afloat by cooperating in a raft on the rapids, or where they strengthen focus and patience on the horse trails.

    Asheville, North Carolina

    Nestled in the Smoky Mountains, Asheville is one part picturesque vista and one part booming economy. Forbes magazine placed it on the exclusive list of Best Places for Business and Careers and it has seen unprecedented growth in the professional services industry in the past decade. With programs like the Asheville, NC corporate relocation package, it’s clear that the city of Asheville is courting corporations to not just visit, but to put down roots. This means the city and infrastructure of Asheville are open and flexible to the needs of retreat groups seeking resources.

    Washington, Connecticut

    The East Coast business world is the very picture of bustle and speed, so it’s important to slow down every now and then to gain perspective.  The small, rural town of Washington, CT is centrally located for retreats from New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. The famous Mayflower Inn is the town’s go-to place for corporate retreats, offering packages that include meals, meeting spaces, wireless access, and many other benefits for businesses away from home.

    Corporate retreats can be more than just cookie-cutter obligations. With the right setting and plenty of research about business resources in the region, your next retreat can be a valuable, unforgettable experience.
