5 Reasons To Let A Hotel Host Your Business Meeting

by Joshua Armstrong

A business meeting should consist of many things, including space, amenities, and a comfortable environment where everyone feels like they are on even ground. If you are hosting a business meeting with investors, potential buyers, headquarters, or even your entire employee base, a hotel conference room can provide the many benefits you need to make your meeting a huge success. Here are just five reasons to let a hotel host your business meeting.

Even Ground

When you let a hotel host your business meeting, all attendees feel like they are on the same level. This is because you are not hosting your meeting on your 'home turf', so to speak. A hotel is a neutral location for a meeting that may involve finances, sensitive subject matter, or for gathering with individuals you have never met. With a hotel conference room as your locale, everyone can be put more at ease and be on the same level of confidence as the meeting goes on.

Accessibility

Most hotels have parking near their convention and conference rooms, so you should have ample parking for your many meeting attendees. A hotel is also easy to find via a map or smartphone app, making it less likely that you will have latecomers due to not knowing where to go. If you have handicapped individuals, choose a hotel with elevator access so everyone can get to your meeting room safely.

Uninterrupted Meeting Time

Hosting a meeting outside your place of business keeps you free from office calls and employee needs. Without the distractions of the goings on of your regular business, a hotel conference room offers you the uninterrupted focused time you need to get the important things discussed and accomplished.

Amenities

When you rent a hotel conference room for your meeting, you may have amenities available to you. Light snacks, meals, and beverages can be included in your rental, as well as equipment you may need, such as printing services, a projector and screen, microphone, and reliable internet access. You can even request the room temperature be set at a certain comfort level prior to your arrival so the setting is perfect for all attendees.

Service

Hotel conference rooms are typically run by the events planner at a hotel, which means they will be the ones hosting your event. If you have attendees that need directions to the conference room after they enter the hotel lobby, your events planner (or front desk worker) can guide them where they need to be. Your events planner can also be ready to assist you with additional chairs, beverages, and equipment you need so your meeting doesn't miss a beat.

A hotel conference room, like those at the Clarion Hotel - Seattle International Airport, is a very beneficial place for having any meeting. Hotel staff are always ready and willing to assist you with anything you need so your meeting is a true success for everyone who attends.
