The SUM of All Parts Meetings Experience
In today’s new world of social distancing and corporate sanitization guidelines, the ordinary meeting is a thing of the past. Here at The Whitehall Houston, we believe meetings and events will play a critical role in the return of both the hospitality industry and our economy at large. To help lay the groundwork for our future – and to assist meeting planners in mitigating the increased risk inherent to our current situation – we have joined together with our sister properties in the Sotherly Hotels portfolio to deliver clear value and ROI in a new program we’re calling
The SUM of All Parts - Sotherly Understands Meetings.
Eliminating Risk
Attendance at your meeting is a moving target, perhaps more so now than ever before. As such, we understand that companies and planners alike will need our help in managing the risk associated with attrition and cancellations. Our solution to this is our “No Attrition, No Cancellation*” clause for all new contracts:
MEETINGS SCHEDULED BETWEEN JULY 1, 2020 – JUNE 30, 2021
- Schedule a new meeting in 2020 for arrival by June 30, 2021 and no attrition or cancellation fees will apply until 90 days in advance of arrival
- This special provision applies to contracted room and food & beverage revenue
*Additional contract terms do apply. Program is subject to availability at the hotel's discretion, and the hotel reserves the right to cancel or modify this offer at any time. Offer cannot be combined with other promotions.
