These 5 Venues Will Have You Booking Your Next Corporate Retreat in Denver

Whether you’ve been daydreaming about a Colorado corporate retreat since you joined your company or retreat planning just got thrown at you at yesterday’s board meeting, Denver is where all your team offsite dreams come true—specifically, these 5 venues.

But before we get into the where, let’s talk about the why. We’re not saying we’re biased, but Denver has a special place in our hearts. Sure, it could be the stunning views or the overall chill vibe, but when it comes to retreats, Denver takes the cake because of its:

1. Convenient Access via Denver International Airport (DIA)

Let's talk logistics. Denver International Airport (DIA) isn't just a place; it's practically a small city with planes. As one of the largest and busiest airports in the U.S., DIA ensures your international team members can land here with ease. Located just a mere 30 minutes from downtown, you don’t have to worry about listening to Dawn from accounting’s playlist on the way over…well, at least not for too long.

2. Affordability Without Compromising Quality

Denver has cracked the code on affordable luxury, and it's offering it up on a silver platter. Picture this: room rates that won't cause your CFO to break into a cold sweat. With room rates ranging from the 200s to 400s, you can feel like you’re living large with only minimal damage to your wallet (even if it is on the company’s card).

3. Diverse Team Bonding Experiences

Denver is the perfect place for when you want to feel like a kid again—a kid who can hit up the breweries. With the great outdoors at your fingertips and hundreds of bars and shops just around the corner, your retreat will be anything but boring. With so much to do, it’s hard to pick our team bonding favorites, but not mentioning these would be a federal crime:

• Outdoor Adventure Retreats

Trade the boardroom for the Rockies. Hike through stunning landscapes, mountain bike on winding trails, and zip-line your way to team unity. If you're going to bond, why not do it surrounded by jaw-dropping scenery?

• Craft Beer Tours

  Denver practically invented hoppy happiness. Arrange a brewery tour for your team to sample the finest local brews and bond over shared experiences. You'll discover new favorites at breweries like Great Divide Brewing Company, Denver Beer Co, and Wynkoop Brewing Company.

• Catch a Sports Game

  Did you know that Denver is home to some pretty impressive sports teams? Before we lose you, we will not be acknowledging the Broncos (that’s simply a lost cause), but with every loss comes a win. And winning is what 2023 NBA champions, the Denver Nuggets, are all about.

At this point, you probably have Google flights pulled up, so let’s talk about where you’re headed. These are 5 Denver corporate retreat venues we can’t get enough of:

And when the workday is done, the onsite spa offers treatments that'll make you feel like you're floating on a cloud.

  But what really seals the deal here is the outdoor adventure—when you're not in meetings, you can embrace your inner explorer with activities that'll make you feel like you're in an episode of "Survivor: Corporate Edition."
