Meeting Sites Pro's European Fact of the Day: Fact #5
DID YOU KNOW? Italians don't generally tip. In many establishments when you get the bill, there is not even the option to tip. A general recommendation in most of Italy is to tip only when you receive good service and not in the amounts we tip in the USA. Typically, a good tip in Italy ranges from 5 to 10%.

Meeting Sites Pro’s European Fact of the Day: Fact #4
In Rome there are many nice restaurants; one of the best for Roman cuisine is Ristorante Perilli. This restaurant has been owned and operated by the same Roman family for over 90 years. It is casual, relatively inexpensive, noisy and you must have a reservation as they sell out every night of the week. If you are seeking an authentic Rome experience and great cuisine, this spot is right on top.

In Rome, one of my favorite spots for leisure or business meetings is the Hotel Majestic located in the heart of the city and on the famed Via Veneto. It is walking distance to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and much more. It is a boutique property with about 85 guest rooms and 4 smaller meeting rooms. The Majestic is definitely an experience you should not miss!

Meeting Sites Pro’s European Fact of the Day Fact #2
In Amsterdam, the Hotel Pulitzer spreads through 25 old adjoining canal houses dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. The multiplicity of buildings means sleeping rooms and meeting space have many different sizes, shapes, and locations. This Starwood hotel is ideally located in old city center and within walking distance to many popular attractions. The most unique to me was the “red light district”, product, service, and location are top notch!
