When product managers plan their next company-wide training or kick-off event, very often they are looking for stunning event locations with a big plenary and many breakout rooms, a place that is versatile to their needs, to offer new experiences for their attendees every day, a lot of guest rooms to accommodate all of their employees, and great close-by options to go out in the evening so that they won’t have to stay in the venue every single day. Oh, and good weather conditions, please!
I have to admit, there aren’t many event locations in Europe that fulfil all of the above requirements and my high-class expectations on top of it. Very often you either get a venue with all of the required rooms, but not enough guest rooms, or exactly the opposite. Or they look not very inviting, and how will you excite your employees for a new product or strategy if they are locked in depressing, dark meeting rooms?
Luckily, I came across the Barceló Sevilla Renacimiento in Spain. Three round buildings welcoming you with modern and elegant interior. Each ‘tower’ accommodates approx. 100 guest rooms and has an atrium inside.
While the central Atrio II is set up with a restaurant and tropical indoor garden, Atrio I can be used for car shows or training workshops. The atrium is really spacious, with a very high ceiling and natural light. The white balconies of the floors above are ideal for video mapping or other decorative projections to create themed atmospheres and make the event space appear entirely different from one second to the other. This atrium also has direct access to the huge private gardens, which invite for sunny coffee breaks, stretching sessions between meeting sessions, stunning receptions or cozy garden dinners.
Atrio III is equal to Atrio I, and offers impressive space to host gala dinners, themed parties, or a spectacular opening ceremony. This atrium is in a building that leads to multiple meeting rooms around it on two floor levels, which makes it easy to break into smaller groups after the big plenary. The natural daylight in the atrium can be entirely blacked out with installed curtains, to allow for great screen vision or illuminations.
With the large amount of meeting rooms, this 5-star hotel is fully customizable to every event requirement. 25 of the 36 function rooms are located at the convention center, which can be accessed from Atrio II and III. In case your event does not require overnight stay, there is a separate entrance only for the conference center as well.
The convention center consists of a large function space that can be divided into 3.5 sections. Three of the sections have the same size, and then there is a small area at the end (“Sevilla 4”) which can either be added to have a slightly bigger conference space, or left closed. In addition, the conference center has three simultaneous translation booths located on floor 1, which have visual access to the first section “Sevilla 1”. The large foyer in front of the main conference rooms offers enough space for an exhibition, or can even be used for banquet dinners, while enjoying the view through the large glass front.
A short walk from the Barceló is the Isla Mágica Theme Park, a water park that you may or may not want to include in your week-long training. While during summer it attracts a lot of families and children, I wasn’t aware of any noise during autumn or winter months. Since meeting and vacation periods are quite contrary, this shouldn’t be a problem.
However, I’d like to make you aware that international flight connections during the winter flight schedule are quite limited to Seville Airport. Depending on the countries your attendees will fly in from, we better check available connections first, to make sure that flight connections suit your meeting agenda.
Seville itself is a charming small city with a beautiful historic city center. It is only a few minutes walking from the hotel, just crossing the Guadalquivir River, and you are already in a street full of bars and restaurants to enjoy delicious tapas and a night out. We can plan some wonderful tours to explore the city and get to know the Spanish culture, or create team activities to let them hunt points throughout the city themselves and award the winners at the gala dinner.
