Here’s TTGmice’s weekly round up of MICE developments outside of Asia.
MGallery by Sofitel opens first property in Versailles
The four-star Hôtel Le Louis Versailles Château has opened in Versailles, France, after an extensive renovation earlier this year.
Situated just 200 metres from the Palace of Versailles and its Gardens, the hotel offers 152 rooms which includes seven suites. All rooms connect the past and present, think antique mirrors, classical LED chandeliers and carpets inspired by herringbone parquet flooring.
Other amenities on-site include a spa, bar-restaurant, fitness centre, and nine meeting rooms.
A Raffles hotel to open in heritage Warsaw building
A 160-year-old landmark in Warsaw will in early 2018 become home to the Raffles Europejski Warsaw.
Situated on the Royal Route, neighbouring the cobbled streets of the Old Town, the hotel will feature 106 guestrooms featuring oak floors, a corner library and curated Polish art by Anda Rottenberg and Barbara Piwowarska. The hotel is said to boast some of the largest rooms in the city, with the Raffles Suite at 293m2.
Facilities at Raffles Europejski Warsaw include a six-treatment-room spa, pool, a signature restaurant that extends out onto Piłsudski Square, Long Bar and Humidor, complete with a patisserie.
CCD Congress Center Düsseldorf gets a facelift
The CCD Congress Center Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf, Germany, will be building a new hall, as well as expanding its current space.
One feature of the construction project will be a 20m-high, 7,800m2 projecting roof made up of translucent fibreglass cloth with LED lighting. It will cover the entrance of CCD Süd, the forecourt, and the new subjacent underground carpark.
The existing exhibition halls will be replaced by a new 12,000m2 column-free hall, while the 2,100m2 foyer will also be usable as exhibition space. In addition, the first floor houses six conference conference rooms, each measuring 200m2 and can be divided into two rooms with mobile partitions.
