Innisbrook A Salamander Resort

Innisbrook is not a conventional hotel; it is a 900-acre, self-contained corporate retreat campus, offering a destination experience for large groups, incentive trips, and major company summits. Instead of a central tower, the resort’s 300 guest suites are housed in low-rise, lodge-style buildings, giving the entire property the feel of an exclusive private village. This unique layout is ideal for immersive events where the agenda extends far beyond the boardroom, blending high-level meetings with world-class golf and recreation. The resort is famously home to four championship golf courses, including the legendary Copperhead Course, a favorite stop on the PGA TOUR for the Valspar Championship.

For event planners, Innisbrook is a powerhouse of flexibility, offering a remarkable 100,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space. The event facilities are clustered into three distinct conference centers. The centerpiece is the 14,000-square-foot Inverness Ballroom, a grand space capable of hosting a general session or banquet for over 1,200 attendees. This is supported by two other large ballrooms, the Edinburgh and Stirling, as well as 32 individual breakout rooms. This campus design allows for highly complex, multi-track conferences, with outdoor lawns and terraces providing stunning backdrops for receptions and networking.

Organizing a corporate event across a 900-acre campus is a logistical operation far beyond the scope of traditional travel booking. This is precisely the kind of complexity Engine was designed to manage. Our platform is built for project-based companies that need to manage large, mobile workforces and complex group movements. While other platforms struggle with group bookings, Engine provides dedicated trip managers who specialize in this. We handle the entire process, from sourcing and contracting the full block of 300 suites to coordinating with the resort’s event team, all with white-glove service.

The true value of an event at Innisbrook lies in the amenities that foster team building and reward top performers. Beyond the four golf courses, attendees have access to six different swimming pools, including the Loch Ness Monster Pool with its water slides. The resort also features 11 tennis courts, a 12,000-square-foot Salamander Spa, and multiple on-site restaurants, from the upscale Packard’s Steakhouse to the casual grill at The Turnberry Pub.

For a finance manager, an event with so many moving parts, such as room charges, golf green fees, spa treatments, and multiple catering bills, can become a financial black hole of untracked expenses. Engine solves this by eliminating receipt chaos. Our platform allows you to track all costs against a single project code or job number, providing 100% cost visibility. Furthermore, our Direct Bill feature consolidates every charge. Engine can extend a line of credit to pay for all the upfront costs, and your company receives one, unified monthly invoice. This streamlines reconciliation and transforms a complex administrative burden into a simple, manageable event.
