The Atrium Resort

Indoor-lobby resorts are a different kind of Virginia Beach stay, and The Atrium Resort by Vacatia fits that model. Instead of a towering high-rise with a big convention vibe, this property reads more like a residential-style base where you can keep a group together, run a simple daily routine, and have a protected common area for meetups when the weather is not cooperating.

Condo-style accommodations tend to be the main reason groups choose a Vacatia-managed resort. Having more room than a standard hotel layout helps when you are traveling with families, teams, or a multi-week rotation where people need space to spread out. A kitchen setup also changes how the day runs because breakfast, snacks, and quick meals do not require a group text and a restaurant plan every time someone gets hungry.

Planning for a room block here works best when you treat the stay like a shared home base. Pick a clear rally point in the indoor common area, standardize unit types where you can, and decide early how your group will handle groceries, meal timing, and quiet hours. Engine.com can support the booking side by coordinating the room block, managing date changes, and keeping the rooming list organized as headcount shifts.
