Los Angeles Meeting Spaces Convenient for Frequent Fliers
As the business world increasingly goes global, employee teams are more and more spread out across the country and the world. When it’s time to bring co-workers together to meet, network, or celebrate, forget the rentals cars and wasting time in transit — instead, choose a spot in close proximity to an international airport. We like Southern California for these types of gatherings because of its reliably good weather which means fewer airport delays and greater choices for outdoor event spaces. We chose these spots for their ease and their ability to host meetings and events of all sizes — from board meetings and team-building breakouts to award presentations and blow-out bashes.
JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT/ORANGE COUNTY
Hilton Orange County Costa Mesa
This SoCal Hilton is conveniently located between LA and San Diego, a mere two miles from John Wayne Airport and walking distance to South Coast Plaza premier shopping and dining. But it has more to offer than space to sleep. With the largest number of indoor and outdoor event spaces in Costa Mesa (15 spaces totaling 48,000 square feet), the options for event hosts are endless. The large spaces are customizable and can be transformed into smaller meeting and breakout rooms. We particularly love The Pacific Ballroom space, which can accommodate large-scale conventions or company award presentations. Guests will love the delicious food provided by expert staff, the modern hotel conveniences, and the plentiful outdoor spaces that offer the promise of relaxation between meetings.
