Seminar rooms in Istria

Seafront hotels and an inland conference centre

Grand Park Hotel Rovinj by Maistra Collection in Rovinj describes multi-functional conference rooms overlooking the sea and the Church of St Euphemia, with chefs preparing food and several venues used for coffee breaks, cocktail parties and dinners. Pical Resort, Valamar Collection in Poreč presents its event centre as a place for conferences, seminars and corporate events. Petram Resort & Residences in Crveni Vrh states that it organises seminars and conferences with a team handling planning through to execution.

Isabella Island Miramare Suites & Villas on Otok Sv. Nikola in Poreč is a seafront property that states it handles conferences, corporate events and seminars, and refers to a certified environmental management system under the ISO 14001 standard. Valamar Girandella Designed for Adults in Rabac is conceived as an adults-only retreat with suites, infinity pools and fine dining, and hosts conferences, corporate events and seminars. Velanera Hotel & Restaurant in Šišan is the exception in scale: a hotel, restaurant and conference centre whose 90 m2 meeting room seats 60 people, is air-conditioned and lit by natural light, and has a projection screen, a projector, ADSL internet and a wireless microphone system.

What to settle with the venue

Few of these properties advertise seminars as their main business, so the programme should be matched to the room rather than the other way round. Ask for the dimensions and layout of the room, the equipment included in the price and what is charged separately, and whether the space is shared with other groups on the same day. At hotels with pools and spas, check how breaks and lunch are organised so the working day is not interrupted.

Velanera is the only property here that gives a room size and a seating figure, which makes it easy to compare with the others once their capacities are known. Where a hotel states that it organises seminars with its own team, ask who the contact is and what the team takes on. Confirm parking for participants, internet access in the room and any technical support on site.
