The Valorem Concierge (a/k/a - Other Cool Stuff)

These are some of our favorites...

Hotels:

Hands down, our favorite. Not just because of the cool digs, but because of the even cooler staff -- special shout out to Ryan (Banquet Manager) and David (Director of B/L/T sales -- we suspect this isn't the sandwich, but wouldn't that be cool?). Check out two of its restaurants below -- and if you can't find us at the office, look for us on the awesome roof deck...also known as the "Valorem Annex."
