When it comes to the business of travel, certain cities stand out from the rest. When hopping on a plane for a work trip, travelers want the destination to justify the journey. Hence the booming bleisure travel industry, combining work with play and capitalizing on all a region has to offer beyond the boardroom. Herewith, top bleisure cities to add to your (corporate) vision board.

Charleston, South Carolina, emerged as one of the most popular vacation destinations in America in recent years thanks to its charming downtown, world-class dining and vibrant nightlife. But it’s also ideal for business travelers, with expanded offerings for corporate retreats and myriad event spaces.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming, another domestic hot spot, offers sweeping Teton views and the best skiing in the Lower 48. Though the spirit of the Old West remains alive and well, increased flights and accommodations bring the Cowboy State city into the modern age. Recent openings include The Cloudveil, a Michelin Key hotel, and Anvil Hotel, a former motel reimagined as a design-forward boutique hotel.

On the West Coast, San Francisco’s idyllic nature and innovative urban culture prove an evergreen choice for bleisure travelers. Inn at the Presidio combines the best of both worlds: an ocean-front oasis mere miles from the marina with gorgeous Golden Gate views.

Cape Town is another seaside city ideal for both business and leisure. Plentiful international flights make the city a business gateway for southern Africa, while the fascinating culture and magnificent surf beckons visitors beyond the boardroom. The elegant Ellerman House is a high-end retreat with stunning views of the coast. Meanwhile, the March opening of the hotel at Spier in the winelands provides ample corporate boardrooms alongside an extensive African art collection and award-winning Sauvignon Blanc.

Truly adventurous bleisure travelers should consider Hobart, Tasmania’s, urban hub. Increased air lift, a farm-fresh food scene and an eccentric arts culture put the Australian state on the map in recent years, while unspoiled wilderness awaits just beyond the city limits. Stay at MACq 01 Hotel, a storytelling hotel that brings the island’s colorful history to life while boasting unique event spaces and waterfront views.
