what our guests are saying about us:

“Having been in the meetings and hospitality industry since 1988, I have been to literally hundreds of hotels, conference centers and unique venues, but none compare to what I have encountered here…What makes this so special is that every group I have brought to this facility has told me it was by far their best meeting experience ever.”

“Workspring is an oasis, as quality a workspace that you’ll find. Every nook and cranny, from the design of furnishings and leading-edge collaboration tools to the cheerful attention of staff and eye to green design, reflects a thoughtfulness and attention to detail not often found in today’s cookie-cutter world.”

Steelcase has made furniture the props and the office a stage for an experience like no other in terms of both inspiring creativity and fostering productivity. It’s truly remarkable, and I cannot think of another venue where I’d rather gather for a working event than at Workspring.”
