New York City is an obvious choice, where you can step out of a morning boardroom in Midtown and immediately explore Broadway theaters, world-renowned museums, iconic parks and award-winning restaurants. On the West Coast, Los Angeles makes the workday transition seamless by pairing corporate hubs with iconic beach boardwalks, famous rooftop dining scenes and immediate access to California sunshine. Miami blends business amenities with an effortless resort atmosphere, letting you trade spreadsheets for ocean views, nightlife and world-class dining.

Overseas hubs offer an even richer backdrop for extending a trip. In London, efficient public transit means you can finish a presentation and then visit historic neighborhoods and pubs or world-class art galleries and museums. Tokyo gives corporate travelers an unforgettable mix of high-tech efficiency alongside tranquil gardens, traditional tea houses and unmatched culinary experiences. European favorites like Paris, Rome and Amsterdam make a compelling case for tacking on a couple of vacation days to explore eons of history and tradition.
