Reimagined spaces for destination meetings large and small
A number of new and renovated properties bring meetings to life with an integration of luxury like never before. Treat your attendees not only to an exciting destination, but the opportunity to work that destination’s surroundings and culture into the innovative meeting or event you create for them.
Nature Inside and Out
Waldorf Astoria Orlando completes a property-wide renovation from its culinary offerings to public spaces to all guest rooms and suites. Interior design firm Parker Torres Design sought to emphasize the property’s unique location, the 482-acre Bonnet Creek Nature Preserve.
The guest rooms and suites emulate the nature reserve and its indigenous wildlife and vegetation with a neutral palette, complimented by soft greens and pops of sunset oranges and pinks. The contours, shapes and textures of spaces throughout the resort speak to organic shapes and textures found in nature. Just in 2022, the resort unveiled the brand-new 8,000+ square-foot ballroom and 2,600 sq. ft. of additional pre-function space, adding to its overall nearly 60,000 sq. ft. of multi-function meeting space, complete with two ballrooms, two boardrooms, 13 meeting rooms and a number of outdoor spaces.

Aloft Hotels celebrates the grand opening of Aloft Santo Domingo Piantini. The new hotel unites luxury, comfort and urban living in metropolitan Piantini.
