You will find us in the sultry Arts Club and Lounge for our luncheon, underneath the ceiling full of mirror balls. (wait…did we just transport ourselves to Studio 54?)

Venue Spotlight: Stop #2 on the Sunshine State Roadshow – The Oxford Exchange, Tampa

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 second stop on the Sunshine State Roadshow: the Oxford Exchange, Tampa.

The Oxford Exchange was created to cultivate community and conversation and human engagement. A collection of ideas housed under one roof, including a restaurant, private event space, a shop, a bookstore and a private work space. The name Oxford Club is inspired by the historic clubs, libraries and shops of London, where the charm and history spark spontaneous social interactions.

The building, the center of that conversation piece, was built in 1891, then in the 1920s an arcade of local businesses and shops occupied the space. After decades of sitting vacant the space was revived and ultimately reopened as the Oxford Exchange in 2012.

Come join us in Tampa and see for yourself, from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm for our luxury destination showcase followed by a champagne reception, in this perfect space for, what else, but Gatsby style!

We look forward to welcoming you to the Oxford Exchange on June 15th and the second stop on the Sunshine State Roadshow!
