Off-site meetings are a meaningful way to show your appreciation, reward employees for a job well done – and provide a morale boost.

Giving staff the chance to relax and interact in beautiful, stylish surroundings can also help create new connections and break down barriers.

If you’re wondering where to hold your next off-site, here are our top five luxury venues in Europe: 

Almanac X Alcron Prague
Czech Republic

This newly renovated, luxury lifestyle hotel (formerly the Alcron Hotel Prague) has 204 rooms including plenty of suites – and is just steps away from Prague’s old town and Wenceslas Square.

The cobbled streets and colourful buildings of Prague’s old town will take your guests’ breath away.

It’s also just 1km from the main train station and 16km from Vaclav Havel Prague Airport (a journey of just 30 mins).

The Almanac X Alcron Prague has nine conference rooms for you to choose from, plus the glass-roofed Crystal Ballroom if you’re planning a larger gathering of up to 200 guests and want plenty of natural daylight.

With a gym, saunas, the beautiful Alcron restaurant and a bar and café, this venue will make an elegant setting for your off-site meeting.

Italy

This truly magical hotel is located on an aristocratic estate in the heart of Tuscany, with Florence, Siena and some top wineries within easy reach.

Other meeting spaces include the wine cellar, the San Tommaso Chapel or expansive outdoor terraces offering unforgettable banquets with a view.

There are plenty of team building activities available, too, with biking, hiking, truffle hunting, stargazing with an expert all on offer.

It’s an exceptional setting with a large courtyard garden, and also boasts an excellent choice of spaces for your team meetings and events.

There’s the luxurious Salon Castellane (formerly the Count of Castellane’s private theatre), for example, and the elegant Salon Marigny – a beautiful room filled with natural light from the garden outside.

The hotel’s eateries have a total of four Michelin stars and include the Epicure restaurant, 114 Faubourg Brasserie and Café Antonia.

To help your team relax, there’s also the cosy Le Bar du Bristol which offers an excellent range of signature cocktails, a tranquil spa and a stylish rooftop swimming pool.
