Make The Hotel Concord Your Home Office for Business Travel
Business travel is hard. You're away from home, away from your office often in a new place, and it can be difficult to maintain work, eating and fitness routines that can help you to focus when you're working.When traveling for business you need to look for amenities that can help you to make your trip a success. Surveys of frequent business travelers have found that they seek out hotels that can provide them with certain comforts. Here are the top five business amenities business travelers are looking for.
Location, Location, Location!
This is the number one criteria for most business travel. It's important to make your home base in a hotel that is conveniently located so you're not spending all your time on the road, instead of closing deals. Ideally, you'll want your hotel to be near an airport, have convenient access to transportation, and be in a population center with easy access to major highways, and other nearby cities.The Hotel Concord is conveniently located in the heart of historic downtown Concord, New Hampshire. We're within walking distance of major state government offices, close to large area businesses, and a short 20-minute drive from the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. Concord is in south/central New Hampshire and is a short drive to Nashua, Manchester, Salem, Laconia, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, about an hour drive to Boston and less than two hours from Worcester, Massachusetts and Portland, Maine.
Free High-Speed Wi-Fi and Other Business Technology
If you're working on the road, you'll need reliable Wi-Fi to stay in touch with the office and access the critical documents you'll need to conduct business. You'll also need access to business technology like printing, fax and scanning capabilities. Your hotel should offer a business center and free in-room Wi-Fi in order to work effectively. In-room technology should include keyless entry and an assortment of chargers for phones and laptops.At The Hotel Concord, all our rooms come with complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi. Our business center is equipped with all the latest technology including printing, faxing and scanning capabilities. If you need more space for meetings, we have several meeting areas available, which include projection units, lighting, and sound, and our concierge staff is always happy to help with all your needs. There are also two Executive Lounges available on the fourth and sixth floors offering guests a place to relax, read, and work in comfortable seating around a fireplace.
In-Room Workspace and Never-Ending Coffee
When you're on the road you're most likely going to be spending time working in your room. Whether it's reviewing architectural drawings, preparing reports, or making Skype calls, you need a dedicated, ergonomic work area with comfortable seating and easy access to power outlets and USB ports. The space should also have good lighting and be relatively soundproof to keep the elevator, road, or street noise out.Some theorists argue that the modern world began when the abundant use of coffee kick-started the Industrial Revolution. Whether or not that's true, today, coffee is a necessity for many in the business world, and business travel is fueled by coffee. When we're on the road, we all want and need coffee in our lives all the time! Make sure your hotel has in-room coffee. It will make life easier!
