Apart from other factors that make the hotel desirable for guests, our meeting and events facilities have been identified as one of the most unique and convenient options for business meetings, special events, and conferences. We can host social gatherings as well and what’s unique in terms of our space is that all the venues are located on the same floor.

This multifunctional space can be used not just for meetings but also for networking and interaction, which means guests don’t have to move to separate locations during their break out meetings. It all happens right here, on the 5th floor.”

“Our meeting and events spaces feature high windows with natural daylight surrounding the room. The boardroom accommodates eight participants and is ideal for private meetings.

Rigi, a 92 sqm venue, offers state of the art facilities and the theatre style seating accommodates around 30. What’s special about Rigi is that it can be divided into five breakout rooms. Monte Rosa is a popular 128 sqm pillar-free banquet and workshop venue and it can host up to 80 during a cocktail reception and about 60 guests, theatre style.

The city views are stunning and it’s so much better than being surrounded by just walls.

All these rooms, located on the fifth floor, comes with state of the art facilities, Wi-Fi access, natural daylight, TV Screens and lots more.”
