For a fully customized and personalized event experience, there’s no better option than a hotel buyout.
Although a hotel buyout can sound expensive, there are several ways that companies can secure this type of event wihtout breaking the bank. Consider booking during off-peak or shoulder seasons, especially if certain weather restrictions are not detrimental to the overall success of the event, and ask the venue if they have any holes that they are looking to fill. Depending on the level of exclusivity, groups can also look into the possibility of buying out certain areas of a resort, while still allowing outside access to the property’s spa or restaurants.
Here are 4 benefits of buying out a hotel/resort:
Personalization
By securing an entire resort or hotel for a meeting, companies are essentially getting the “keys to the castle” to plan a function that is specifically tailored toward what they are looking to accomplish. Not only do they know that undivided attention is being given to attendees, but they can customized a program that fits the exact preferences and needs of their group.
Branding
Buyouts can help to promote interaction and build camaraderie among attendees, whether it’s at the pools, the bar, or simply meandering through the grounds. Everyone knows they are there for the same reason. When the entire property is at their disposal, companies can also get creative with their meeting set-ups. Instead of hosting lunch or a reception in a ballroom, planners can consider utilizing the front drive of a hotel, the golf course, or the spa. it’s also a branding opportunity, whether that means a logo in the pool or on the golf carts—the only limit is the imagination.
Privacy
Whether it’s a pharmaceutical company launching a new product or just a company that wants to provide an exclusive and tailored experience for its top customers, a buyout allows complete privacy.
Immersion
Buyouts allow a fully immersive experience reflective of the destination. The Hyatt Regency Tamaya can help groups plan rodeos, Native American cultural activities and greeting ceremonies and even tethered hot air balloon rides.
