Espacio OX hosts conferences, corporate meetings, training sessions, banquets, weddings and anniversaries for up to 400 people in theatre style or 200 at a banquet, in five event rooms. The venue combines a hotel and a convention center at Playa La Gaviota 2225 in Iquique, in northern Chile, so speakers and guests can sleep on site.
Seminars and company events
The Ballroom is the room for plenary sessions, congresses and company conventions, with 400 seats in theatre style. Four smaller rooms handle breakout groups, training in classroom layout and board meetings around a U-shaped or imperial table. The team designs each event to the client's brief, and the production can range from a DJ to a full lighting show for an evening program. Hotel rooms in the same building make two-day seminars and incentive trips simpler to plan.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, anniversaries and other social celebrations are part of the program, each customized to the hosts. The Ballroom seats 200 for a banquet and the Ocean View room 90, and menus are designed for each occasion. Music and lighting can be added, from a DJ set to a full show.
Rooms and capacities
The Ballroom covers 360 m² and takes 400 in theatre style, 250 around an imperial table, 200 at a banquet and 120 in classroom style. Ocean View measures 120 m², for 120 in theatre style, 90 at a banquet, 75 at an imperial table, 60 in classroom style and 50 in a U. Caruso, 84 m², takes 80 in theatre style, 36 in classroom style and 30 in a U. Península, 64 m², takes 80 in theatre style, 50 at a banquet and 36 in classroom style or in a U.

Accommodation
The hotel offers several room categories: Suite Corner, Ejecutiva, OX Estudio and Doble Twin, with some suites facing the sea. The total number of rooms is not published, so large groups should check availability early.
Catering
Menus are tailored to each event, from cocktail receptions to formal banquets. The on-site Restaurant Bowling Espacio OX serves burgers and pizzas, a casual option for a team evening, next to the venue's own bowling alley.
History and setting
Iquique is the main city of the Tarapacá region, a Pacific port backed by the desert hills of northern Chile. Espacio OX stands near the shore at Playa La Gaviota, and two of its rooms take their names from the local coast, Playa Brava and Península. The bowling alley gives groups an easy activity after a working day without leaving the building, which helps for incentive trips and team events.
Getting there
The venue is in Iquique, at Playa La Gaviota 2225. Diego Aracena International Airport, south of the city along the coastal road, has domestic flights from Santiago and other Chilean cities. Groups arriving for a convention can be transferred by road from the airport to the hotel.
