Where to Find Mid-Range Team Retreat Locations in DC, Philly, Providence?

Hi everyone! Does anyone have any recommendations for lovely places to host 14-person team retreats in D.C. (including Maryland/Virginia), Philly, or Providence?

Some guidelines:

Budget is mid range (~$350/ per room per night)

We love places where we can either take over a really nice suite and use that as our workspace or if this have a nice loungey room that could work as well!

Any recommendations would be immensely appreciated!

Hey there! What are the dates you’re looking at? And is there any flexibility on the per night cost (+ is that inclusive of taxes/fees)? I may have a couple of options!

Hi! Our team on-site is April 22nd - April 25th. :)

That’s not inclusive of taxes /fees. A little flexibility yes! Also we for sure would expect to pay more for the suite too obviously :)

Hi! I did a workshop at Annapolis Waterfront Hotel. They’re rooms have been recently renovated, they have plenty of meeting space, and the hotel is right on the water. Also, the Annapolis food scene is getting much better! Happy to share my hotel contact with you, if needed.

Also, the The Airlie in Warrenton, VA. Last year, they quoted me $300/per person, per night.

Baltimore has so many boutique hotels that would be perfect for this and less $$$ than DC.
