Meeting-goers find turtle watching is an amenity

Friday, 23 May, 2010 0

Group meetings don’t usually include turtle watching, building pirate ships and cooking up a fresh local catch, but that’s nothing out-of-the-ordinary these days at Kimpton’s 113-room Vero Beach Hotel & Spa.
 

“Flowcharts rise with the tides and group meetings are taken ‘Beyond the Boardroom,’ with complimentary activities to discover the area’s indigenous pleasures and a selection of savings incentives,” the hotel says in a press release.
 

“The charm and natural appeal of Vero Beach inspired us to offer complimentary activities, exclusive to the area and our resort that would afford group business travelers an extraordinary escape within a new and refreshing environment,” said Marco Scherer, General Manager for the property.
 

Located on Central Florida’s Treasure Coast, between Orlando and Palm Beach, Kimpton’s oceanfront Vero Beach Hotel & Spa caters to as small as four people or groups up to 60 members.
 

The “Beyond the Boardroom” package offers groups a selection from several local activities including a “Moonlight Turtle Walk” on the beach or allowing groups to cook their own fresh local fish.
 

As part of Kimpton hotel’s customized meeting program, groups may also select one favorite from Kimpton’s “Pick Your Perks” menu:
 

• Ten percent off EVERYTHING “master account” including audio visual, room rental and food &beverage;
 

• Oceanfront Suite VIP upgrade for every ten room nights.
Rooms start at $99 a night.
