Attending our Florida Roadshow will give you the opportunity to take part in our silent auction, benefiting the Wine to Water Ukraine Fund initiative. We are proud to support this endeavor in this time of need in Ukraine. So let’s take a look at what is up for grabs to help you decide what you want to bid on. Next up, Casa de Sierra Nevada.

Located in San Miguel de Allende, this Mexican city is an adventure for the senses, the sights, sounds and scents that draw you in. In the heart of the vibrant city is an oasis, a private sanctuary in Casa de Sierra Nevada, a Belmond Hotel. Open the ancient, wooden front doors and at once the fiesta outside gives way to a siesta-like calm. The charm of Belmond Casa de Sierra Nevada welcomes guests with a magical sense of tranquility.

The cluster of casonas, the colonial state houses that comprise the hotel, tell a rich and colorful history. This former 16th century convent has kept some of the original features, including carved stone fireplaces and beamed ceilings, complemented with modern convenience rooms individually decorated with antiques and art and rich textiles. The hotel exterior gives little indication of the magnificent courtyards you will find within the walls.

Come evening flickering lanterns illuminate the grounds where you can retreat with a cocktail and unwind at the end of a busy day in San Miguel de Allende.
We promise you will be charmed by this property at every turn.

Up for grabs: A 2-night stay in a Deluxe Room with daily in-room wake up coffee service, a welcome drink, and free WiFi.

Florida Roadshow: Giving Back with Retreats Resources

Posted on | by Joe Mo | Leave a Comment on Florida Roadshow: Giving Back with Retreats Resources

Looking for another reason to join us for one of our Sunshine State showcases next week? Then maybe it’s time to let you in on our little secret: we love giving back!

From fundraisers leveraging our relationships in our hospitality community, to supporting free trade products and minority-owned businesses, we truly feel good when we do good! Aren’t you the same way?

One of the most important alliances we have made is our relationship with Wine to Water, founded in 2007 by CNN ‘Hero’ finalist, Doc Hendley. We’ve been at it for so long, they consider us a part of their family of Founders, and over the years, we’ve raised well over $100,000 through our lively travel package auctions.

Though they didn’t start out as a relief organization, Wine to Water has now been responsible for providing safe drinking water in many unforeseen natural disasters – from Haiti to the Bahamas, and even in Louisiana and Texas.

They have partnered with a relief organization in Ukraine and neighboring countries to supply and distribute 12,000 water filters to those who need them most. With water infrastructure and supply chains disrupted in the region, people depend on surface water from rivers, rain, or untreated sources. The portable, inexpensive water filters that W|W provides, give families and shelters a way to prevent waterborne illnesses, avoid dependencies on single use plastics and reduce more waste going to the massive piles of debris in this crisis.

Many of our big-hearted destination partners have donated some generous travel packages that we will be offering in a silent auction format, and 100% of the money raised will go directly to W|W and their efforts in Ukraine.

So bring your credit cards, and get ready to bid on destinations that are truly drool worthy, while supporting a worthy cause! You can’t bid if you are not there, so don’t waste another moment – register now for the Sunshine State Roadshow!

Tune in this week to see a spotlight on some of the destinations up for grabs!

Join us for showcases in Orlando, Tampa and Boca Raton and you’ll meet with these exciting destinations – some of the hottest, most talked about locations on this side of the globe.

Posted on | by Joe Mo | Leave a Comment on Venue Spotlight: Stop #3 on the Sunshine State Roadshow – MB Supper Club, Boca Raton

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 background on our final stop on the Sunshine State Roadshow: MB Supper Club, Boca Raton.

MB Supper Club at the Boca Raton Resort offers a contemporary interpretation of classic continental cuisine, crafted cocktails and nightly live entertainment. A weekly rotation of performers includes Latin Night, Jazz, Piano Bar and boca Standards. MB Supper Club recreates the ambiance of the golden age of supper clubs in the 1930s and 40s where guests frequented establishments to dine, imbibe, be seen and enjoy live entertainment.

Boca Raton Resort opened in 1926 as The Ritz-Carlton Cloister Inn, a vision of famed American architect Addison Mizner. The original structure reflects Spanish-Mediterranean, Moorish and Gothic influences. It is characterized by hidden gardens, barrel tile roofs, archways and fountains. In the Twenty-Twenties, The Boca Raton celebrates its most remarkable evolution in its storied history, A New Golden Era. A $200 million transformation launched in Winter 2021.

MB Supper Club is a traditional supper club with a modern twist, designed in partnership with lifestyle expert, Colin Cowie. The décor highlights the original architecture and pays homage to the resort’s former Monkey Bar, a cocktail lounge that was dedicated to the resort founder, Addison Mizner and his pet monkey, Johnnie Brown.

Come join us in Boca Raton and see the beautiful renovations for yourself, from 10:00 am – 1:30 pm for our luxury destination showcase followed by a luncheon.

We look forward to welcoming you to MB Supper Club on June 17th and the final stop on the Sunshine State Roadshow!
