Where to stay in Temecula
For the perfect work-meets-play getaway, stay in Temecula’s charming Old Town with excursions to the famed wine country if your itinerary allows. Old Town is walkable, lively, and packed with dining, bars, and meeting venues, making it ideal for business travelers who want everything within reach. Temecula wine country, just east of Interstate 15, offers scenic vineyards and a slower pace for unwinding after meetings.
Book a stay at Hilton Garden Inn Temecula, less than a mile from the heart of Old Town. Business travelers will appreciate the contemporary guest rooms, fitness center, and flexible meeting spaces with on-site catering.
Bleisure itinerary
Make the most of your Temecula trip by stacking your mornings with leisure activities. Play a round of golf at one of the nearby courses or opt for a sunrise hot air balloon ride over the valley’s rolling hills and lush vineyards. Balloon rides typically finish by mid-morning, leaving plenty of time for work. After a free cooked-to-order breakfast, get some work done in the flexible meeting rooms at Embassy Suites Temecula Valley Wine Country, where free Wi-Fi and convenient room service help keep productivity high.
Team and client dinner playbook
After work, get your team together for late-afternoon wine tastings at the nearby vineyards on Rancho California Road. The wineries also offer a scenic setting for client dinners, perfect for low-key networking with local ambiance. Old Town Temecula is a go-to for team meals, coffee chats, and client catchups, thanks to its walkable streets and variety of restaurants. Reserve wine tastings in advance and inquire about private dining spaces and set menus for group dinners in Old Town. Make Hampton Inn & Suites Temecula your home base for easy access to Old Town’s dining scene, plus amenities like free hot breakfast, meeting rooms, and an outdoor pool. With everything nearby, your team can transition from meetings to memorable meals without missing a beat.
Wellness between meetings
Temecula’s spa scene makes it easy to recharge with abbreviated treatments like 20-minute massages and lunch break facials. A quick session in the hotel gym will also help boost your energy and provide a much-needed metal reset during long days.
