Millennial­s At Meetings

- By Harvey Chipkin

Of course Millennial­s are traveling for meetings as well, and hotels catering to that segment – whether independen­t or part of a chain – are adapting to their particular tastes. Examples are abundant; here are just a few: The new Hilton West Palm Beach Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel & Casino recently purchased stationary bikes for attendees to exercise during meetings and offers standing meetings upon request.

Boasting its own Running Concierge, The Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa leads group runs around the desert oasis with views of Sabino Canyon Mountains. The onsite New Balance Gear Lending program allows guests to borrow any needed workout attire (shoes included).

During the Aerial Yoga workshops at the new Well & Being at the Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas, meeting attendees move through various yoga poses while suspended in a giant fabric hammock three feet in the air.

Interjecti­ng energy into meetings, the Hilton Orlando offers an “Amazing Race”-styled event for groups. Utilizing the property’s onsite lazy river and water slide, this high intensity event promotes teamwork and camaraderi­e in a fun and competitiv­e atmosphere.
