# The Retreat Register

> A national directory of verified corporate retreat venues in the United States,
> launching in 2026. Free to browse. Venues do not pay for placement or ranking.

## What it is

The Retreat Register catalogs resorts, lodges, ranches, estates, boutique hotels with
dedicated meeting space, casino lodges, and purpose-built conference retreat campuses
across the United States. It is a reference work, not a broker: listings are compiled
from public sources, machine-checked, and human-reviewed before publication.

## Current status (2026-07-10)

- 1,200+ venues cataloged, launch planned for 2026
- 2,000+ venue photo sets machine-verified against the properties they claim to show
- 75+ U.S. markets swept, including small markets most directories skip
- Every listing read and reviewed by a person; 400+ removed in recent review passes
- Zero paid placements; ranking is never sold

## Who it serves

- Companies planning offsites, leadership summits, and all-hands retreats (10 to 500 people)
- Teams needing meeting rooms plus on-site lodging
- Churches and congregations planning group getaways (faith-based retreat centers are
  included when they meet the same quality bar: real lodging, professional operation,
  welcoming to outside groups)
- Wellness and group-program organizers (destination spas, health retreats)

## What is deliberately excluded

Municipal convention centers, expo halls, banquet-only facilities, and budget or
economy hotel chains.

## Pricing honesty

Most retreat venues quote per group (head count, season, full-property buyout all move
the price). Where public pricing exists, listings show it; where it is quote-only, the
listing says so explicitly rather than estimating.
