Seminars and company events
Grand Hotel Continental București takes business meetings, training sessions, coffee-break workshops, working lunches and corporate parties for 6 to 90 guests. The hotel occupies a listed historic building from 1826 at Calea Victoriei 56, in Sector 1 of Bucharest, close to the Old Town.
Six conference rooms on the fourth floor cover most formats, from a six-person board meeting to a 90-seat presentation. Each room comes with Wi-Fi, a video projector, a screen and a flip chart. On request, the hotel adds simultaneous translation, sound and video systems, televoting and stage lighting. Works lent by the Bucharest Municipal Museum hang at the exits of the conference rooms. Breaks include coffee, tea and pastries, or healthy options with fresh juices and smoothies, and lunch can be served as finger food, a set menu, a standing buffet or cocktail-style service.
For a corporate dinner or end-of-year party, the Concerto fine dining restaurant takes 40 to 70 guests in one salon, with dishes prepared under chef Roxana Anghel and music chosen for the group.
Weddings and receptions
Concerto also hosts weddings for 50 to 68 guests, as well as christenings and birthdays. The room draws on early twentieth century decor, with fine porcelain and silver, and live piano and violin. Couples can add architectural lighting, low fog, a star curtain, flowers and a dance floor. Christenings can also use the hotel terrace, and Bistro Continental takes birthday parties.
