Northeast Roadshow Spotlight: Wythe Hotel, Brooklyn

Posted on | by Joe Mo | Leave a Comment on Northeast Roadshow Spotlight: Wythe Hotel, Brooklyn

Hold on, NYC, we aren’t leaving just yet….we have one more option for you to come out and meet us on August 28th. That evening we will be heading over to Brooklyn after our Luxury Destination Showcase wraps in mid-town Manhattan and hosting a networking cocktail reception at the hip Wythe Hotel.

We wanted the chance to show off this historic Brooklyn factory turned luxury hotel, so we decided to throw ourselves a little party. Join us from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm for a cocktail reception in the Penthouse Suite. Come out and see this beauty of a hotel plus we promise we are fun, too!

(note: there is no Destination Showcase at this event, just good old fashioned networking.)

Built in 1901 to manufacture barrels for the sugar refiners that lined the East River and later in the century, the building that is now Wythe Hotel spent time as a textile factory which produced acoustic fabrics and specialty fabrics for the Space Program.

When renovations began in 2008 to repurpose the building into a hotel, it was important that as much of the original beauty and unique features were preserved to highlight the building’s origins and purpose while also creating a chic, inviting space for a memorable stay in Brooklyn.

And oh yah, it’s also pet friendly and you know how we love that!

Come join us and see for yourself this unique and stunning property on Wednesday, August 28th.

Registration is open now on our website and our events are free for meeting and event professionals to attend – www.retreatsresources.com

We look forward to welcoming you to this historic Williamsburg hotel and the third stop on the Northeast Roadshow!
