The United States made its debut at the 20th annual World Culinary Contest in Taipei, thanks in part to the head chef at the San Francisco Hotel Nikko, Philippe Striffeler. The World Culinary Contest featured Asian-inspired cuisine, and the competing United State’s team comprised of six chefs from the San Francisco Bay area.  While ultimately the Taiwanese team took the gold, the U.S. competitors fared well for their first international challenge, taking home the bronze medal.  Chef Striffeler, the team lead, is well-renowned for his San Francisco restaurant at Hotel Nikko called ANZU, which offers Euro-Japanese cuisine.

Luckily, you can let guests at your next San Francisco meeting taste this globally-acclaimed fare by hosting your event at the Hotel Nikko.  This San Francisco meeting venue has over 25,000 square feet of meeting space and is located just over a block from Union Square. The Asian ambiance isn’t just in the kitchen, either; it permeates throughout the hotel lobby and the 533 guestrooms, creating a Zen-like, relaxing experience for guests of the hotel.
 
Some of the dinner entrees available on the Hotel Nikko catering menu include Honey Toasted Sesame Marinated Chicken Breast, Grilled Filet of Beef with a Wild Mushroom-Merlot Reduction, Panko-Herb Crusted Halibut with Sesame Champagne Beurre Blanc, and Spinach Pansotti with Lemon Caper Cream. The skilled catering staff at this property will take care of your every need so that you can relax and be a guest at your own event.  Let your attendees have a taste of ANZU at your next San Francisco event!

The San Diego W has a teambuilding event for your next San Diego meeting that will definitely get attendees fired up! For a minimum of 20 people, the hotel offers the “SipSavor ShoWdown,” an Iron Chef-style cooking competition that puts two opposing teams in the kitchen to create a 2 entrée dinner buffet. With competitive cooking shows like Iron Chef, Hell’s Kitchen, and Top Chef becoming more and more popular, your guests will be thrilled to show off their culinary talents at the W San Diego catering kitchens.

The way the competition works is each team chooses one entrée to prepare—beef, chicken, or seafood. Choosing two different entrees will ultimately provide for a more diverse spread at your group’s dinner buffet, but each team could work with the same ingredient to really go toe-to-toe. Both teams will have to improvise though when a surprise starch and secret veggies are thrown into the mix! The result is a full, gourmet meal that the whole group can enjoy and a heated competition that will get your group truly engaged.

Since these challenges can get messy with so many cooks in the kitchen, you can also order customized chef’s coats or aprons for attendees as a souvenir of their challenge. Or, as a prize for the winning team, choose from the W San Diego deals such as a Bliss Body Butter and Body Wash package; a container of the Chef’s Secret Spice Rub; a W beach towel, sunscreen and a pair of flip flops; a W Candle & W CD; or a spa treatment at the Away Spa. This modern San Diego meeting venue is ideal for business professionals or a sophisticated group looking to have an unforgettable experience with the SipSavor ShoWdown.

Increasingly, meeting planners are holding their Green meetings exclusively at Green hotels, and major hotel chains are updating their properties to meet the growing demand. IHG is one chain leading the way in the race to be the industry’s environmental leader. For example, the InterContinental Hotel San Francisco has made great strides to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) Certification, hoping to achieve this goal by 2010. The LEED certification is widely considered the highest mark of environmental-friendliness, and is still a very rare accomplishment with only about 20 certified hotels nationwide.

The LEED certification process takes into account all aspects of the property’s operations, as well as the building itself.  The InterContinental Hotel San Francisco has implemented several green initiatives towards the strict LEED criteria, including a linen and towel re-use program, mold-free drywall, double-paned windows, motion sensors in the guestrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the property, digital reader boards throughout the property, automatic sensors on sinks and toilets, and local & organic food served in the Luce restaurant. In addition to these green features, the property also uses energy-efficient kitchen equipment, reduced flow showers and sinks, reusable service ware, energy efficient lighting, and has a comprehensive recycling program.

So, if you’re hoping to hold your next meeting in San Francisco and being green is a top priority, then the InterContinental Hotel San Francisco is an ideal choice. This San Francisco meeting venue makes it easy for your group to cut back on the amount of paper used during meetings with electronic technology, and also encourages reusable service ware, filtered non-bottled water service, food waste composting and recycling. Also, with an abundance of natural light in the 45,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, artificial lighting is cut to a minimum.

Sarah recently wrote a post about the trend for big hotel chains going green, and properties like the Intercontinental Chicago O’Hare are following suit. Hotels in Chicago and nationwide are focusing more and more on the environmental impact of their facilities and increasingly offering Green meetings options.

Open for business since last September, the Intercontinental Chicago O’Hare is approaching its one-year anniversary as an eco-savvy, luxury hotel in Chicago. The property utilizes 100% renewable energy credits from wind, features a green roof, recycles all materials used throughout its hotel and convention area, and helps businesses and organizations support sustainability with its “Green Meetings” program.

As part of the “Green Meetings” program, meeting planners have the ability to choose from a selection of organic and sustainable local meals, recycled paper and pencils, LCD projectors and screens, biodegradable water bottles, biodegradable centerpieces, and other amenities. In a previous post on the Cvent blog, we outlined the benefits of using Green Meetings programs like the one at this Chicago event venue.  For one, these programs help reduce overall costs of your meetings; they give you increased reputational effects for being environmentally conscious; and, finally, they are more likely to boost attendance and employee retention at your company.  You can learn more tips on “greening” your meeting space, as well, on the Cvent Meetings & Events blog.
 
If environmental-friendliness is a hot-button issue for your next event, consider the Intercontinental Chicago O’Hare.  This Chicago Airport Hotel is less than 5 minutes from the O'Hare International Airport, making it easy for guests to get to and from your event; and, with over 53,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, the hotel has a meeting room for any occasion.

The popular HBO series, Entourage, is back for its 6th season, which began airing last month.  The show features popular attractions and restaurants around the Los Angeles area.  The City of Angels backdrop serves as an integral part of the show (just like NYC was central to HBO’s Sex and the City). In this season, Entourage showcases the luxurious Sofitel LA Hotel as one of the latest and greatest hot spots for Vinny, E, Turtle, Drama and the rest of the entourage.

According to a recent article in Black Book Magazine, the boys visit Simon LA, the on-site restaurant at the Sofitel, for some classic American food in celebration of Turtle’s birthday.  The article describes the property as “a trendy, tech-friendly hotel.”  Entourage isn't the only HBO show to feature the Sofitel Los Angeles, though. Recently, the LA hotel was also showcased in True Blood as the setting for a vampire hotel, called "Hotel Carmella".

Given its recent popularity, it's clear that the Sofitel LA has star-quality. This ultra-modern, chic Los Angeles event venue offers a fabulous meeting experience, true to its Hollywood location.  If you want your guests to be spoiled with star treatment like the guys of Entourage or left to slumber in lavish rooms like the True Blood vamps, then consider Sofitel Los Angeles for your next event. Catering is offered from the Simon LA restaurant, headed up by the resident celebrity chef, Kerry Simon. Themed menus, an exclusive event floor, or poolside service are also available for VIP parties.
