Why cities win on logistics
Direct flights, easy ground transport, dietary variety, and zero risk of weather wrecking the agenda. For an all-hands of 80+ pulled in from four continents, the city math is simply better. Our international offsite logistics post breaks down where the friction usually appears and how to engineer it out.
We favor private floors of design-led boutique hotels, creative event spaces with character, and walkable neighborhoods that let evenings unfold without buses.
Designing the city offsite
The risk in cities is fragmentation: people scatter into smaller groups and the cohesion you came for never quite forms. We counter with one shared meal per day in the same private room, a deliberately walkable venue radius, and one signature evening that gets everyone in one place.

Frequently asked
Don't cities feel less special than a villa?
Done well, no — a private floor of a Lisbon design hotel with a chef-led night feels every bit as curated as a finca, and the logistics are radically easier.
How do we keep the team together in a city?
Single hotel, walkable venue radius, one shared meal per day in the same private room. Discipline beats venue luxury.
