- An extensive property, outside and inside (multiple places to drink).
When business travel was a thing, whenever I had a trip to Tampa and stayed at the Grand Hyatt, I'd try to bring along my wife since she loved the multiple pools and was always able to grab a drink or relax and feel like she's at a resort... and then we could get a nice dinner at Oystercatchers. It felt more like a vacation resort than a business travel hotel... even though it's close to many companies and right off the highway
I can't think of a HR in the US (or at least, one in a major business travel city) that I would be excited and trying to bring my wife to.
I hope this helps or just muddies things? (also waiting for the onslaught of ppl replying with random HRs that they view as nicer)
