  • A photo of the Hyatt Regency Hill Country where Tri-Marq recently produced a corporate meeting.

    Hyatt Regency Hill Country San Antonio

Ballrooms:  There are two main ballrooms at the property.  […]

    Meritage Resort & Spa

    Napa, CA Overview: There are not a lot of properties in Napa that can host a corporate event. The Meritage in Napa is one that works well for small or medium sized events.
