New State of the Art Exhibition Centre at the Europa Hotel, Belfast
January 2008…/ The World Famous 4 Star Europa Hotel, Belfast has just announced plans for a dynamic new conference and exhibition centre which is set to open in March of this year. It will be equipped with the latest state-of-the-art technology and will offer clients some of the largest conference and exhibition space in Northern Ireland.
A new exhibition centre has been added to the already extensive conference facilities of this city centre hotel, which boasts a grand ballroom, a rooftop banqueting facility with panoramic views over the city, and a 9 syndicate room Eurobusiness centre, It brings an essential new dimension to the Europa’s conference and exhibition offering which is hoped will encourage both local, national and international business tourism.
This new venue will be able to hold exhibitions, shows, meetings, indoor sporting events, wedding fairs and trade fairs. It offers 7,000 sqf/665sqm of floor space which is totally flexible for its varied uses and can hold between 40-50 exhibition stands.
The Exhibition Centre will be self contained, with a separate entrance at ground level as well access from the hotel.
The opening of the new centre hand in hand with the refurbishment of the existing Brasserie Restaurant on the ground floor, into a new open plan restaurant called ‘The Causerie’ will put the hotel in a class of its own.
Now the Europa has a total conference offering with the Grand Ballroom on the first floor that can seat 800 theatre style or 550 for dinner, the Exhibition Centre on the Ground floor, the Eurobusiness Centre comprising 8 breakout rooms for meetings and the Rotunda for private dining for up to 30 people.
