Caribbean hotel offers ideal setting for out-of-the-ordinary meetings

January 24, 2012 - Sea breezes, festive colors, island rhythms and 43,000 square feet of event space…? Meeting and event planners who have never considered hosting their group in the Caribbean, particularly on the diverse island of Trinidad, are missing a rare opportunity. Those looking for a professional meeting venue in a unique island location will find exactly what they’re looking for, and more, at Hyatt Regency Trinidad.

The luxurious 22-story hotel is situated in Port of Spain’s Waterfront Development, next to the island’s main seaport and offers 43,000 square feet of flexible event space including two ballrooms, an executive boardroom, a private conference room and 12 meeting rooms. Cocktail receptions and other functions can even be held outside on the hotel’s expansive waterfront promenade. In addition to the extensive meeting space, planners will find high speed wired and wireless internet available in meeting rooms, public areas and guestrooms, translation facilities for international meetings, a full-service business center, as well as trained, professional meeting and event planners on staff to ensure that every detail is covered.

In a recent New York Times article, the hotel was described as having “all the makings of a flawless stay: central downtown location, an infinity pool with stunning views of the Gulf of Paria, stellar service and a breakfast buffet of local favorites.”

The creative catering team at Hyatt Regency Trinidad can tailor menus for group breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks and hors d'oeuvres to any specifications and dietary requirements. Whether it’s an early-morning meeting or a formal evening event, the team can present pre-meeting breakfasts, from Caribbean and Continental to buffets with omelet stations and bagel bars; "pick-me-up" breaks, offering everything from favorite childhood treats to sliced fruit or health bars and deli buffets or lighter fare such as vegetarian wraps with fresh berry tarts for lunch. Hyatt Trinidad’s culinary offerings also include an impressive range of hors d'oeuvres with a mix of hot and cold choices in a variety of ethnic themes; classic buffets featuring carving stations, seafood, cheese, local delicacies and more, as well as plated banquets.
