Retreats Resources brings the Roadshow to you, but did you know we select the host venues with an experience in mind for every Meeting Planner and Event Specialist who attends. Let’s take a look at our third stop on the Mid-Atlantic Roadshow, 1776 by David Burke in Morristown, New Jersey.

With its strategic location between New York City and Philadelphia, Morristown played a significant role in the Revolutionary War, with George Washington setting up two winter encampments there. It now has the distinction of being home to Morristown National Historic Park to preserve these Revolutionary War sites. With a nod to this history came a restaurant named 1776 by David Burke. And although a nod to centuries old history the restaurant is known for its bold flavors of now, with a chic, modern atmosphere and award-winning chef, David Burke.

Along with this hip new restaurant, which just opened its doors in October 2021, the owners had an idea to keep people entertained while enjoying its festive atmosphere by adding Topgolf Swing Suites to the restaurant. And this space is where Retreats Resources will be bringing you for a one-of-a-kind experience.

Set in a modern, energetic environment the Topgolf Swing Suite space features 6 living room suites with golf simulator and special menu created by Chef David Burke to keep private parties a unique and active experience.

Come sip, snack and swing! We look forward to welcoming you to 1776 by David Burke and the Topgolf Swing Suite and the third stop on the Mid-Atlantic Roadshow!

Retreats Resources brings the Roadshow to you, but did you know we select the host venues with an experience in mind for every Meeting Planner and Event Specialist who attends. Let’s take a look at a little background of our second stop on the Mid-Atlantic Roadshow, the Archer Hotel Tysons.

Tysons, once an 1800s peach grove, is now an urban mecca just 9 miles northwest of Washington, D.C. The Archer Hotel Tysons only just opened their doors in September 2021.

He is the persona of the hotel and your host, a “storyteller and adventurer, connoisseur and consummate host.” Each of his residences are a reflection of that in each location he will welcome you. Open floor plans will invite you in and allow you to feel the warmth and comfort of being their guest, while the finishing touches will leave you looking for more.

Venue Spotlight: Stop #1 on the Mid-Atlantic Roadshow – Riggs, Washington, D.C.

Posted on | by Joe Mo | 4 Comments on Venue Spotlight: Stop #1 on the Mid-Atlantic Roadshow – Riggs, Washington, D.C.

Retreats Resources brings the Roadshow to you, but did you know we select the host venues with an experience in mind for every Meeting Planner and Event Specialist who attends? Let’s start with a little history of our first stop on the upcoming Mid-Atlantic Roadshow, Riggs, Washington, D.C.

Riggs is an eye-catching, historic building in downtown Washington, D.C. Built in 1891 as the new home of Riggs Bank, it was the Bank of Presidents. Twenty-three U.S. Presidents banked at Riggs, including Abraham Lincoln prior to the completion of this building, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard Nixon, as well as American Red Cross founder, Clara Barton, and Suffragist, Susan B. Anthony.

The history of Riggs Bank is an important one and, prior to the completion of this building, includes such pivotal moments in our history as financing the first expedition to the North Pole, financing the expansion of the U.S. Capitol, as well as providing $7.2 million in gold towards the purchase of Alaska.

When refurbishing for use today the designer kept the integrity of the building in mind, inspired by the golden age of banking, keeping the high ceilings of the banking hall and Corinthian columns which are now the hotel lobby.

As you walk thru the doors of Riggs and begin to explore, try to imagine all the history Riggs Bank holds and let that add to your experience here.

We look forward to welcoming you to Riggs and the first stop on the Mid-Atlantic Roadshow!
