Corporate party at the hotel: creative ideas for team building and non-standard events
Organizing an event for the team is not an easy task. I want everything to be clear and hassle-free. The hotel's accommodation format is convenient because all important tasks are solved in one place: there are event venues, staff rooms, a restaurant, a banquet hall, technical equipment and team support. Corporate party participants can stay the night, have dinner, get enough sleep, and in the morning continue the program or have breakfast together.
Accor: everything for a successful corporate event
Accor hotel chain is one of the most reliable organizers of corporate events in Russia. It includes dozens of venues across the country — from Moscow to Sochi, from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok. Spacious halls, modern lobbies, terraces, comfortable rooms and restaurants — here you can hold events of any format — team building, holidays or informal working meetings.
What to consider when choosing a hotel for team building
To spend an unforgettable team building experience at the hotel, it is worth paying attention to several factors.
Variety of spaces
It is good if the hotel has not only a conference room, but also less formal areas: designer lobbies, terraces, and a restaurant. This gives you more freedom — you can schedule a general meeting, as well as an active part and an evening program.
Team involvement and availability of an event management specialist
It is important that the hotel staff does not limit themselves to technical support, but helps to build the concept of the event for the space of their hotels. Event management specialists can adjust ideas, suggest the optimal space for the format, and follow the details.
Technical equipment
Projectors, screens, microphones, lights, sound — everything should be in place and ready to work. This saves time, budget and eliminates the need to look for contractors on the side.
Food and dining options
Coffee breaks, a buffet, a set menu or a full-fledged banquet — the more options the hotel offers, the easier it is to adapt the format to the idea of the event and the composition of the participants. In some cases, it is important to provide for the possibility of conducting gastronomic activities, such as workshops and tastings.
Accor hotels have everything that is important for strong team building: spacious spaces, on-site technical equipment, and flexible food formats. The hotel team is always ready to join the work with interest in the task and attention to detail.
Unusual corporate party formats at the hotel
Modern corporate parties have long gone beyond the ordinary banquet. Companies often choose formats that unite the team and remain in the memory for a long time. Accor hotels have everything you need to implement non-standard scenarios. Here are some ideas.
Gastro workshops
Cooking together under the guidance of the chef is a great way to engage the team in a common cause in an informal setting. The hotel can provide a kitchen area, groceries and help organize everything. Not every hotel has the opportunity to rent out kitchen or restaurant space for corporate cooking classes. To select a site, you can contact the Accor head office to select a suitable hotel.
Immersive Quests
The format is similar to a game: teams need to look for hints, complete tasks, and interact with each other. Participants receive roles, tasks, and a route that runs through the halls, floors, or other areas of the hotel. The format includes the rental of several hotel rooms and, as a rule, requires reservations as early as possible.
Art workshops
Team classes in a creative format are a great way to relax after business and socialize outside of work roles. This can be drawing with a glass of wine, creating a picture together, making posters with quotes or associations, painting T-shirts with special paints. Not only event halls are suitable for this format, but also the space of the restaurant, which can often be rented in whole or in part for the event.
Intellectual Games
They are held in the format of quizzes or evenings in the spirit of "What? Where? When?" — with a presenter, screens, teams and prizes. They are suitable for the evening part of the event, when you want to get involved, but without physical activity. The universal format, which requires seating at tables, is easy to arrange in almost any hotel.
