Seminars and company events
The hotel configures its rooms for general sessions and breakouts for groups of 10 to 150 people. Its own list of corporate formats includes sales meetings, training days, conferences and executive luncheons. An events team handles planning and curated menus, and a group room booking service lets an organizer reserve bedrooms for attendees in the same request.

The Winfree Ballroom is the largest room and is described as suited to large business gatherings as well as celebrations.
