Plan a team retreat
Tell us about your team. We'll shortlist places that fit your headcount, dates and budget, check meeting space and meals against each operator's own page, and email you the options. Nothing goes to any property until you choose.

What the operators state
The largest 12 with something stated. Only what each operator's own page says; blank means "not stated", not "no".
Ask about midweek (Sunday to Thursday) rates. Many group venues price weekends higher.
Confirm the meeting room seats your full headcount in the layout you want (theater, classroom, U-shape).
Ask for upload and download speed if the team needs video calls. "Wi-Fi" alone says little.
Check whether meals are catered on site or the team self-caters, and how far the closest group restaurant is.
Plan one team activity that fits everyone: a rafting trip, escape room or cooking class.
