Hotel Balneario Las Arenas hosts congresses, seminars, product launches, gala dinners and weddings for groups of ten to 600 guests. Its meeting pavilions offer more than 2,500 m² of space in about 20 configurable rooms. The largest takes 600 people for a cocktail, and the main auditorium seats 500 theater style. The five-star hotel faces the Mediterranean on the Las Arenas beachfront in Valencia.
Seminars and company events
Meetings take place in two sea-facing pavilions, the Columnario Las Arenas and the Columnario Malvarrosa, and in the main building. The hotel supplies audiovisual equipment, room setup, catering and an event coordinator, so a congress or a two-day board seminar can run on site from the welcome coffee to the closing dinner. Several rooms, including Sophia, Helena, Irene and Poseidón, open directly onto the gardens, which helps for breaks and receptions between sessions. Committee work can move to the boardrooms on the mezzanine of the main building.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel sells weddings with a dedicated team. Civil ceremonies can be held outdoors in the seaside gardens. Cocktails are served in the gardens and on the terraces for most of the year, and seated banquets take place in salons with large windows over the sea. A banquet in the gardens is also possible. Wedding menus are prepared with the catering partner Gourmet Catering & Eventos, with custom menus, themed stations and live cooking. Couples receive a wedding night with breakfast at the hotel.
