Britannia Hotel hosts conferences, board meetings, banquets and weddings in the center of Trondheim. Its largest room, Britannia Hall, takes up to 325 guests seated and 500 standing, and the hotel lists 13 meeting spaces in total. Accommodation is on site, with 224 bedrooms from standard rooms to suites. The hotel stands at Dronningens gate 5, and a conference service with its own event team handles requests.
Seminars and company events
Britannia runs a dedicated conference service. For a seminar, the choice runs from small board rooms to a full hall. Eufemia is a second-floor board room of 31.5 m² for 10 to 14 people, and Ragna is a ground-floor board room of the same size. Blanka, at 35.5 m², takes up to 15 around a board table with daylight. Gyda and Ragnhild are 36.5 m² rooms on the second floor of the conference lobby, each taking up to 25 people, and together they form Harald Hårfagre, a larger event room.
Gudrun and Tyra are 54.5 m² rooms. Gudrun takes up to 40, and the pair can be combined as Olav Tryggvason for a plenary group. Astrid, at 53 m², adjoins the conference lobby and suits board meetings, small conferences and dinners. Margrete, at 86 m², is a multi-purpose room for up to 70 people in a theatre layout. Event guests can use a separate entrance at the back of the hotel, on Westermannsveita, with automatic check-in.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel sells weddings and dinner events, and any of its food and beverage venues can be booked for a private occasion. Wedel Jarlsberg, a historic wing of Britannia Bar, is offered for private events and wedding ceremonies. Jonathan Grill, the basement restaurant, has several rooms for private groups and a course room designed for food courses. Vinbaren is a wine bar with three tasting rooms lined by about 8,000 bottles. For a larger celebration, Britannia Hall is the main option.
Rooms and capacities
Britannia Hall is the hotel's largest meeting space, with places for up to 325 seated and 500 standing. The hotel's conference page describes it as a 320-seat hall, so confirm the exact figure for your layout. Olav Tryggvason, the combined Gudrun and Tyra room, is quoted at 80 to 96 people depending on the page. Rooms are spread over several levels: second-floor board rooms and the conference lobby, ground-floor rooms beside the lobby, and the basement restaurant rooms. Several rooms can be tailored or combined to fit the format of the event.
Accommodation
Britannia has 224 bedrooms. Categories include the Tower Suite penthouse, Signature Suites in the 1897 building, Executive Suites, Deluxe Suites, Junior Suites, family rooms made of two connected rooms, and Deluxe 1897 Rooms. Breakfast is served in the Palmehaven restaurant. The hotel also has a spa and fitness area.
Catering
The hotel has its own culinary team, which is part of the conference offer. Jonathan Grill, Vinbaren, the bar and the other dining venues can each be booked for a seated dinner, and several of the meeting rooms can be arranged for private dining.
History and setting
The hotel presents itself as a cornerstone of Trondheim and says it has hosted royal families, politicians and explorers. Its own publication, The Collector, gathers stories going back to 1870, and part of the building dates from 1897. The hotel has been renovated recently.
