Destination Community

When you start to plan your next meeting, the first question you should ask yourself is “where will I get the greatest return on my investment?” After putting countless hours and dollars into a meeting, you need to have full confidence in your decision. The Inverness Hotel and Conference Center in Denver has put together a few quick reasons why your meeting attendees will retain the most information and get the most out of your meeting if you hold it in one of our spacious meeting rooms. 

California’s Missions Trail began some 243 years ago in San Diego at the site of the first Franciscan Mission, Mission San Diego de Alcalá, founded by Father Junípero Serra and Father Gaspar de Portolà.  

Did you know that when you stay with us, you are also saving lives?

Spring has arrived, which means the Paradise Point kitchens are “stalking up” on April’s Destination Dish ingredient: asparagus. Found in green, purple, and white varieties, asparagus is available year round, but are at their best during springtime.

Hamilton Park Hotel’s very own Executive Sous Chef, C.J Chambers, recently brought home the gold, I mean copper. The Copper Skillet Award that is! Chef C.J.  was recently awarded the highest culinary award in a standoff competition between the best of the best chefs within the International Association of Conference Centers (IACC) collection. When asked to comment on C.J.’s recent honor, VP/Managing Director Joe Crimmins stated “It has been a pleasure to watch C.J. grow and refine his culinary skills during his time with Destination Hotels & Resorts and Hamilton Park! He is very passionate about his profession and has a natural curiosity which all great chefs possess!” That same curiosity that Mr. Crimmins speaks of is now expanding outside of the kitchen into some of New Jersey’s finest farms. As a result, Hamilton Park is a place where companies can conduct meetings while knowing that the hotel in which they are conducting business is committed to sustainability practices.

Among the many changes that the Sunriver Resort sales team has noticed in the meetings industry over the last several years, is a newfound focus on creating a meeting environment that inspires peak performance, creativity, and innovation.

It is an exciting time to be working in the city of Tempe! Within the past year, it seems like a new business has opened its doors every week, and a new office building pops up every month.

Have you heard of the term FICP before?

It essentially means doing business with those that support your business. A little along the lines of paying it forward, I guess.
