Aside from the obvious benefits of escaping the bitter cold and snow and enticing attendees to make the trip, warm weather destinations have a few other benefits to hang their winter hats on. AMI CEO, Andy McNeill cites, “Lighter packing, fewer travel delays and flexible indoor/outdoor meeting space options are just a few of the ancillary benefits that a warm weather meeting can afford.”
The Breakers ~ Palm Beach, FL
Florida is synonymous with warm weather and sunshine (Except in the summer when “warm” turns to brutally hot). But Palm Beach, Florida is the home of sunshine wishes and winter dreams. The Breakers in Palm Beach is close enough to both the Miami & Fort Lauderdale Airports and offers Mediterranean charm, devoted staff and one of the most luxurious destinations in the US.
Average Winter Temperature: 75º
The Phoenician ~ Scottsdale, AZ
From sun-soaked outdoor activities to state of the art meeting space, the Phoenician offers everything you would want in a warm weather destination. Sweeping mountain views, beautiful southwest gardens and a one-of-a-kind art collection coupled with plenty of sunshine! P.S. It rarely rains in the desert.
Average Winter Temperature: 72º
Hotel Del Coronado ~ San Diego, CA
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall… let’s face it, there is never a bad time of year to visit San Diego. Whether it’s an intimate advisory board, a large multimedia conference, or a sales incentive program, The Hotel Del Coronado offers over 750 sleeping rooms and over 50 meeting and event rooms to satisfy every need.
Average Winter Temperature: 72º
The Ritz-Carlton ~ New Orleans, LA
Traditionally, New Orleans is overlooked as a party locale rather than a corporate meeting destination, but New Orleans is more than equipped to service all group sizes with its city central International Airport wide range of moderate to luxury accommodations and arguably the richest history west of the Mississippi. The Ritz-Carlton has done an incredible job of entwining the charm of New Orleans with the modern conveniences of today’s state-of-the-art meeting space.
Average Winter Temperature: 65º
The Rosewood Crescent ~ Dallas, TX
We love The Rosewood Crescent because of its quiet location among the hustle and bustle of a major city. The Rosewood Crescent describes itself as having the classical elegance of a fine European hotel combined with traditional Texas charm. And the ideal winter temps don’t hurt either!
Average Winter Temperature: 62º
Now the only challenge is returning home after all that fun in the sun.
