Omni Resort at Championsgate - Your Meeting Can Have It All!

2011-02-20T06:49:00.000-08:00

I have been working this year to put together a small gathering of folks at the Omni Resort at Championsgate. My client initially did not even have this property on her list. I knew that the attendees (mostly congressmen and lobbyists) were going to be attending some spring training games, and connecting with one another on a primarily social level. They needed to relax, rejuvinate, play a little golf and avoid a bit of the craziness that is the Disney area during weeks that include spring break! When I put the word out within our amazing internal tool, InSite, the word came back that a great choice that I had not considered would be The Omni Resort at Championsgate!

Many of my colleagues had booked this property for various events and meetings ranging from 10 attendees to 500. I heard glowing reviews about the staff, the service and the golf courses.

Some of you may be familiar with of our proprietary system that allows us to communicate among our 1,200 colleagues to get client feedback, site information, and information about properties in general and the staff and amenities and meeting facilities. We are able to ask each other questions and share experiences, both good and bad.

One of our many tools, InSite, allows us to gather and share information about various properties.

We can also access specific information and feedback from clients!

Some of the insight offered by my colleagues at HelmsBriscoe about The Omni Championsgate:

"once the attendees arrived onsite, it was the best experience they have ever had. Everyone was courteous and bent over backwards to meet their needs. One attendee made a nonchalant comment to the bellman that escorted her to her room that she had bad karma when it came to rooms. (Her room was overlooking the parking lot.) Without saying a word, he went to the phone, called the front desk and had her moved to a room overlooking the golf course. The food was phenomenal, the meeting rooms were beautiful. The attendee could not say enough about this hotel. This group would definitely return to the Omni ChampionsGate Orlando."

"was very impressed with the very upscale guest rooms, the great and flexible meeting space, excellent and close by golf--where they can stage the golf carts outside the hotel even for a tourney so no walking to pro shop even, and ate in the restaurant with excellent service for the meal. Heard only good comments on hotel, all the extras ballrooms have with access, and AV capabilities. Pool area is very nice too, with two pools, slide and lazy river, and some my clients like idea of away from Disney and could drop resort in other cities and fit right in--not theme park feel to it like many in Orlando. Grocery store and drug store, plus restaurants right out entrance in strip center--between hotel and I-4 highway, so convenient for attendees"

"both my client and I were impressed with how well the meeting space is laid out, the upscale feel of the property and the service levels"

"Not only have they been fabulous to work with but the property gave us a "quiet" WOW factor. Our meeting is a 3 day customer event with full meals and extensive meeting space. They have great breakout space and the layout works well."

I feel very confident in the client's selection of this property. Also, those I reached out to who are avid golfers also recommended this property on the top of the heap for their golf courses.

The resort features two championship 18-hole golf courses designed by accomplished architect and golfer, Greg Norman, a lighted 9-hole, par 3 golf course, and is the World Headquarters for the David Leadbetter Golf Academy. Golfers also enjoy the convenience of walk-out golf with a continuous golf cart shuttle to and from the golf course and academy. The academy adds an added bonus activity and opportunity for team building to any event.

The 36 holes of world-class golf at ChampionsGate were designed to offer golfers a blend of traditional and modern elements, creating a truly unique golf course in Orlando. The International Course offers an authentic link style golf experience, reminiscent of the great golf courses of the British Isles. The National Course provides golfer’s with a challenging round of golf with its traditional American style design.

The staff members at the Championsgate Golf Club have been extremely helpful and accomodating during the planning phase of this event. Our attendees are looking forward to an amazing golfing experience.

Also...anyone who has read my blogs before knows that I am a huge conniseur of the hotel pools. It's almost an obsession of mine. This particular property boasts one of my very favorite things...a lazy river!

I am one of those individuals who feels that a property is somehow incomplete without the addition of a lazy river! You may remember a blog I wrote about various hotel pools...it is a personal obsession and one that I try to emphasize to my clients when they are combining business with pleasure.

I am also a huge fan of the private cabana...and from what I have seen and heard this is another area where this property scores.

A Private Cabana poolside at the Omni Championsgate

Aside from the many aspects of this property that I have heard about, one of the most important features that has been consistently raved about by my colleagues is their meeting space and function space. The variety in sizes, shapes, form and function allows any size group to find it's place for all aspects of a meeting or event. The Omni Resort at Championsgate has over 70,000 square feet of meeting space!

From a small board meeting

To a large annual sales meeting

The sizes and variety of meeting space is a big plus when putting together any event and the Omni doesn't disappoint.

With this particular event, we are focused on more social functions. I was also impressed with what seem to be some amazing areas for both indoor and outdoor social functions, receptions and meals.

Our group has opted to hold a reception in one of the outdoor areas that offers more of a golf course view...

I cannot say enough about how friendly, professional and accomodating the staff of this property have been in helping me bring my client to this property. This is the first event of this kind for this client who hopes to make it an annual event and from assisting with finding transportation, to working with us on rates, to making sure there were no organized events for another political party during our event, they have been fantastic! I am hoping that the event runs as smoothly as the planning stage.

In addition, I found out yesterday that our regional meeting will be held at this property in May of this year, so I look forward to having a chance to experience firsthand what everyone else has expressed. Of course, more information will be coming!

So for now, I am amazingly grateful for Juan Diaz, Claudia Jacobs, Deborah Loch, and Brenda Pfeifer for working with me to earn...and keep my client's business! It is so nice to have partners like you!

Why should I use a 3rd party for hotel site selection?

2010-02-09T15:20:00.000-08:00

Many meeting planners come to me trying to weigh out the benefits of using a 3rd party to conduct their site selection. I know that many planners are worried about giving up perks, points and commissions and I understand these concerns, these are factors that you need to weigh out for yourself.

Let me shed some light on a few benefits, and address some concerns.

First of all, HelmsBriscoe is #1 in group bookings for every major hotel chain. We have access to special promotions, open rooms, and deals exclusive to our clients. When we submit an RFP on your behalf to a property, chances are, we have already sourced many other meetings to that property and they already know how we work. We have access to historical rates booked by our colleagues for that property and our requests are generally handled by someone who is on staff exclusively to handle HelmsBriscoe business. All of that negotiation and research frees up a great deal of our planners' time.

Contract negotiation is another added bonus to utilizing our services. Whether you are new in the game or an old pro, our 1,100 associates in 44 countries have the experience with your selected properties. We deploy dozens of risk aversion strategies to protect our clients' meetings.

Worried about attrition? HB can help! Because we are such a large team, we can usually find other clients to fill your open rooms and assist with attrition, this is another reason our hotel partners love working with us!

What about the little things? HB has negotiated with our partner properties to make sure you get your points, as well as still being able (and STRONGLY encouraged) to go on site visits and familiarization trips.

Still have doubts? There are no contracts with HelmsBriscoe, if you are thinking about trying us out, let me work with you on a quote for your next meeting. We can be as involved as you want us to be, and if you aren't ready to dive all of the way in, start with one meeting and we can move forward from there!

My company specializes in booking 10 or more rooms, and through the wonderful and amazing contacts I developed through years in golf travel, I can work with you on customizing your trip. There's no better reward for your clients and employees than a stroll across the grounds at Augusta National during the world's classiest golf event. If you have never been, it is an amazing experience, tantamount to the Olympics or the Superbowl. The atmosphere is unlike any other and tickets are not sold to the general public. Rooms are often sold out up to a year in advance, however, being the global leader in hotel site selection, we have access to the inventory that may not be available to the public.

Email me today for more information on planning your event at this year's (or next year's) Master's Tournament in Augusta, GA.

Featured Destination - The Seagate Resort and Spa in Delray

2009-10-01T11:57:00.000-07:00

I recently had the opportunity to take a sneak peek at what’s going on at the Seagate Hotel & Spa in Delray Beach, FL. This property will be opening in November, 2009 and is a luxury boutique hotel right in the heart of Delray Beach. The Seagate is affiliated with Preferred Hotels and Resorts Worldwide. Delray Beach is an ideal destination for clients wanting something a little bit different, convenient to Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach airports, with plenty of activities close by and historic Florida charm and style.

The property itself offers 162 rooms and suites, an amazing 2,500 square foot Presidential Suite with an 800 square foot balcony, an 8,000 square foot spa, a private beach club, and lots of additional amenities. The rooms all have microwaves and refrigerators, and the standard rooms feel like suites. Rooms feature 42 inch flat screen TV’s, Egyptian cotton linens, amazing bubble jet tubs, 3 telephones, marble and stone bathrooms, mahogany woodwork, safes with internal charging electricity, and wired and wireless internet access. The ambiance of the hotel itself is British Colonial style with a beach-chic interior complete with huge aquariums, beautiful hand-crafted light fixtures, and classic décor.

Restaurants include the Atlantic Grille, slated to be a modern American seafood restaurant. The restaurant is beautifully designed, complete with a jellyfish tank behind the bar, private booths, 2 private dining areas, and a glass-encased Wine Room that also serves as private dining for up to 14. The restaurant seats 245. Also, there is a charming restaurant at the Seagate Beach Club, a private club which guests have exclusive access to.

The spa is an entity unto itself, 8,000 square feet with a tranquil atmosphere and a wide array of treatments available. The fitness room has the latest equipment for your clients as well.

The property offers 2,292 square feet of event space. I would say this is well suited for board meetings, destination weddings, and client VIP events. It has an intimate feel, with plenty of extras. As you can see from the photos, it’s coming along nicely and should be a great destination for our clients! (property is also pet friendly).

One of My Favorite Hotel Pools...

2009-09-06T21:40:00.000-07:00

Lists are constantly being published about the best hotel pools...this topic is very close to my heart as I am a sucker for a great hotel pool. As I have a chance to see these pools, I most certainly will keep my readers up to date.

My very favorite pool to date would be the amazing floating pool at Villa d'Este in Cernobbio on Lake Como in Northern Italy. I had the opportunity to spend a few weeks at this magical place and I will never forget it. I will talk more about the hotel itself in a separate post, for now, let's talk pools! While Lake Como is most recently famous for George Clooney and Star Wars...it has a rich and abundant history. The pool is not high tech, it has been around for a while. The hotel was built in 1568, I am uncertain as to when the floating pool was added. It is amazing to be enveloped in lovely warm water while overlooking one of the most beautiful lakes I have seen.

Another view of the property from above, giving you a better idea of this amazing lake...

Fairmont Turnberry Isle, Amazing!

2009-08-17T08:25:00.000-07:00

We were hosted this weekend by a lovely property with a fabulous staff, The Fairmont Turnberry Isle in Aventura, FL just north of Miami. This resort would be an amazing place for any corporate, association, or other event, even destination weddings!

As you all know, I am a sucker for a hotel pool...this one is by far my top of the list! With a very nice and quiet courtyard pool for those seeking a more peaceful retreat; there exists around the corner a hidden paradise. The Laguna Pool has cabanas (both full size, complete with changing room, flat screen tv's; and what I called "mini-cabanas" surrounding the pool that are upgraded lounges), a great staff to guest ratio, a waterfall, a water slide and a lazy river where you can float through a beautiful landscape of flora and fauna. I couldn't stay away from the lazy river!

As far as the meeting space, and event facilities - also top notch! The

TripAdvisor Warnings about Hotel Self Promotion?

2009-08-13T11:21:00.000-07:00

Recently it has come to light that hotels are posting rave reviews about themselves on TripAdvisor - a very well known site where folks go to get the latest information on hotels or other information they are seeking when planning a trip.

You can read the USA Today article here.

This allows me to once again talk about the amazing benefits of using HelmsBriscoe for site selection. We have over 1000 associates around the world. We have an internal message board type system, if we need information, we can ask a question and that question immediately goes to all of our associates around the world. Not only does this allow us to work with our colleagues globally in order to plan meetings for corporations and associations wherever they would like to go; but it also gives us the most honest and up to date information on hotels, destinations, contract issues, contacts, etc.

Lovely Luncheon at The Blue, Doral, Miami

2009-07-28T14:32:00.000-07:00

Today brought with it a luncheon hosted by Preferred Hotel Group. We had a chance to meet with many hoteliers in Florida. The spotlight property who hosted our gathering was The Blue, A Resort Hotel Condominium. This location would be PERFECT for a corporate golf outing. It is an all-suite property, located right on "The Blue Monster", one of Doral's premier golf courses! The Executive Chef, Josh Wahler, is a veteran of Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen reality show, and his amazing culinary skills shine through! With meeting space to accomodate up to 150, and lovely board-room style facilities, The Blue would be an amazing venue for a corporate team building/golf retreat. The property also comes to mind in consideration of a destination wedding. The spa is beautiful, allowing events for the ladies as well as golf for the groomsmen! I would be glad to work with anyone wanting to plan an event at this beautiful property!

Watch What You Tweet!

2009-07-22T18:08:00.000-07:00

We are currently being hosted beautifully by the Arizona Biltmore, there are several groups of young people here as well, and I was able to hear a great example of how what you put out there can get ya into a heap of trouble!

One of the "young people", upset about her lack of a continental breakfast (which was NOT ordered as part of their program), decided to make some rude comments on Twitter! The Biltmore is very in tune with technology and keeps up to date about what people are saying...her comment got out, got to the group leader, and got her on the next bus home!

The Blue, Miami's New Hotel and Golf Enclave

2009-07-22T12:02:00.000-07:00

An upscale resort in the city of Doral, this is a beautiful property with the best of all worlds, a luxurious spa, award winning golf, an award winning chef, and the reputation and service that comes with being a part of Preferred Hotels & Resorts Worldwide. The property is all-suite, and even the smallest one is HUGE! It is an ideal venue for small meetings, social gatherings and destination weddings. I would be proud to help you plan your meeting here!
