Luxury & Super Cool Venues - Joella's Highlights from the Luxury Meetings Summit

Joella reporting in... So, last week I attended the Luxury Meetings Summit which was held at the beautiful Beverly Montage in the heart of Beverly Hills. It was awesome getting to meet over 25 luxury brands and potential venues to hold events. A few stuck out to me... So, here goes - my highlights and why! In no particular order... 

The Canary Hotel is up first. This gorgeous downtown Santa Barbara resort, is the only full service luxury boutique left in that area. Despite appealing to those that "flock" to this Spanish style Villa, they offer over 5,000 square feet of meeting space, for small parties or large banquets, including seminars. With panoramic roof top views, this is quite the locale to have a corporate affair or an intimate event.

Second up is the Montage Deer Valley in Park City Utah! Stunning property in both winter for ski season and the rest of the year for hiking! This gorgeous ski resort is the ideal meeting spot for those that yearn for the "slope" life. With over 50,000 square feet of meeting space both indoor and outdoor to offer, resort meeting rooms varying in size from 2,500-4,300 square feet, can accommodate from 120-300 attendees. Montage also offers an audio and visual department, making PowerPoint presentations easy and accessible, helping those coming in from other cities, to carry less luggage and equipment during their travel.

The Arizona Biltmore, located in the scenic and beautiful Phoenix desert, where Frank Lloyd Wright served as a consulting architect, offers over 100,000 square feet of meeting space. For corporate events, small or large, Biltmore appeals for its all in one capabilities including their amazing look! Their magnificent gardens and sparkling pools accentuate any meeting, bringing tranquility to long days and busy afternoons. I hope to bring a self-contained conference their way soon!

Next up is the Carmel Valley Ranch is just one of the many luxurious resorts California has to offer residents and tourists alike. "Where else can you play 18 holes of world-class golf, access hundreds of miles of hiking trails, wander around an organic garden, learn about honey bees in an apiary and dress in a Bee Suit, explore vineyard terroir, enjoy mountain-top yoga, and then relax by your choice of pools?" I loved this place.

Whether you reserve space indoors or in the cinematic grounds, with over 35,000 square feet of meeting space, the Ranch can accommodate any "honey" of an event, sure to give all of your attendees a very "sweet" experience from the soothing aroma from The Carmel Lavender Farm just a few miles away.

Next up is The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado. 

In this picturesque mountain getaway, The Broadmoor, in Colorado Springs, CO, brings Green Incentives to any meeting or event with their "environmentally-conscious programs in water and energy use and waste generation. The Broadmoor offers 60,000 square feet of pillar-free, carpeted meeting space, which can handle groups up to 6,500 people with ease." Their main hall can accommodate up to 350 booths, and is the centerpiece of the Event Center Complex.

I also fell in love with The London in West Hollywood. They had some unusal roof space that made it a very unique option for us planners! With almost 16,000 square feet of event and meeting space to offer, in the epicenter of Los Angeles in West Hollywood, CA, The London prides itself on glamour and elegance. Catered by international Master Chef Gordon Ramsey, with the ability to accommodate 75-750, attendees will be impressed and swooned like celebrities, while they dine on delectables, and utilize state of the art AV equipment and complimentary WiFi. They offer ballrooms up to 4,000 square feet and a 24 hour business center. I can't wait to plan an event there!

I hope that you enjoy this blog post! It was a fantastic meeting and I'm happy to highlight these special venues. Give me a holler if you have any questions! joella@simplymumtaz.com. Have a great week all!
