With the demand for unique meeting and event experiences on the rise, Richmond-based Versante Hotel is introducing a convention-defying offering at its 2,500 sq. ft. penthouse lounge. Alaïa, the boutique hotel’s former 12th-floor caviar lounge, is now available as a meetings and events space for hosting everything from corporate events and product launches to private parties, wedding celebrations, and holiday soirées.
