24-hour cancellation required. Late cancellations and no-shows billed at full cost. Non-members must prepay at reservation. Pre-purchased coins are non-refundable and non-transferable. Coins remain valid while membership is active.
Coins are Amata's pre-paid currency for conference rooms, day offices, and on-demand support staff. One currency. Multiple uses. Members save 32% before the discount even starts.
Pre-purchasing locks in your lowest rate — stacking coins with half-day or full-day bookings unlocks deeper discounts. Coins roll over while your membership is active.

Get your team out of the office and into a focused, distraction-free environment for a half or full day.
Meet candidates in a setting that reflects the professionalism of your organization — not a coffee shop.
