For Special Events, Seminars and Meetings, Think Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort for Something Different

SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA (April 18, 2008) – Looking for a spot to hold an upcoming corporate retreat, workshop, business gathering or special event that brings more to the table than boring banquet food and a mediocre meeting space? Think Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort – a hot mineral springs property tucked away in the wooded hillside of California’s Central Coast – for something different.

 

The San Luis Obispo-based hotel offers five versatile meeting facilities, ranging from 225 to 1,800 square feet, ideal for a variety of events and gatherings, yet also provides a unique and stimulating environment not often found in hotels offering similar-size event spaces.

 

Sycamore’s onsite group coordinator can assist in the arrangement of any type of event, whether it’s a corporate planning session followed by a guided hike and hot tubs, or a family reunion that includes a trip to area wineries for tasting. The property is also well-suited for a wide variety of workshops, seminars, and corporate team building sessions, all of which can be customized to preference.

 

“There are so many possibilities when planning an event at Sycamore,” explains Marina Huston, sales and marketing manager for the resort. “We are happy to create an event package to meet our visitors’ unique needs and ensure a productive and pleasing experience.”

 

Located halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, just off Highway 101, Sycamore sits near pristine beaches, including Avila and Pismo, award-winning wineries, and multiple outlets for outdoor recreational activities.

 

On-property offerings are also plentiful, as the property houses hillside hot mineral spring tubs; a Healing Arts Center featuring regular yoga, Pilates and tai chi classes; a Spa & Wellness Center offering a wide array of facials and bodywork, ranging from Chardonnay Wine Therapy spa treatments to those incorporating organic, paraben-free products; as well as a stone walking labyrinth; meditation gardens; and access to guided or self-guided hikes.

 

Additionally, Sycamore is home to the award-winning Gardens of Avila Restaurant, which specializes in fresh and sustainable cuisine, and provides meals for all special events held at the resort.
