Turtle watching and building pirate ships are not your average fare for a company meeting; just as computers and spreadsheets don’t jibe with a day at the beach. But at Kimpton’s 113-room Vero Beach Hotel & Spa : , flowcharts rise with the tides and group meetings are taken “Beyond the Boardroom,” with accommodations starting at $99, great savings and complementary activities to discover the area’s indigenous pleasures.

As only one of two hotels in Florida to receive their “Silver” level Green Seal Certification for ongoing sustainable practices, the oceanfront Vero Beach Hotel & Spa sets an eco-sound stage for great discoveries and business outcomes. Whether it’s a Q4 planning session for six or a seminar for 60, the

hotel is located between Orlando and Palm Beach, only a few hours’ drive from all major South Florida markets, and presents a unique business retreat that still retains the attentive service and precision provided by their meeting planners.
