Compensation committee offsite: discretion is the whole brief
A compensation committee sets CEO pay and reviews named executive figures, so a leak from the room is a proxy-season problem, not an awkward moment. Here's how I book these when discretion is the entire assignment, from a quiet arrival to the private dinner to the clause I insist on.
New-hire onboarding week: five days, one room, sane catering
A five-day onboarding week is the one booking where the same room every day is a feature, not a compromise. Lock one space, negotiate a multi-day rate, and fix the catering so nobody's eating hotel sandwiches by Wednesday. Here's the money math.
