More Meeting, Less Money: Club Quarters World Trade Center in NYC
Do more, spend less seems to be the modern meeting planning mantra -- and one that’s probably here to stay. So where to host a mid-year, company-wide meeting in the heart of NYC’s Financial District without breaking the bank?
Start by taking a look at the recently opened, budget-friendly Club Quarters World Trade Center. If you’re not familiar with Club Quarters properties, you’re not alone. They’re a just-under-the-radar hotel chain with properties in prime downtown locations. They cater to both short and extended stay business travelers with an eye for clean, efficient lodgings, solid amenities, well-designed rooms -- and little need for salon facilities, spa treatments, concierge desk or 24-hour room service.
Designed and built with LEED certification in mind, the newly constructed Club Quarters WTC’s 200 guest rooms feature complimentary wireless internet access, stylish workstations with task lighting and ergonomic chairs, LCD flat-screen televisions, and two-line speakers and cordless phones with voicemail and direct dial numbers. And then there are the views -- the rooms at this New York conference hotel are equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows, many of which overlook lower Manhattan, Memorial Plaza and what will eventually become the Freedom Tower, Manhattan’s tallest skyscraper. The hotel also offers guests such dollar-stretching perks as unlimited complimentary bottled waters, a nightly beer and wine reception and complimentary continental breakfast.
With nightly rates ranging from the high $100s to high $200s, and special package deals and deep New York hotel discounts available for planners also needing meeting spaces, the Club Quarters WTC could a great dollar-stretcher, even if you’re not on planning on a shoe-string. And after you’ve saved your company a chunk of change, don’t forget to reward yourself with a shopping trip to the Century21, NYC’s legendary discount cathedral, conveniently located just three blocks away!
