Grand Hotel Konya runs business meetings, seminars, training programs and large events in five halls, the largest of which, the Konya Balo Salonu, takes up to 1,000 people. The smallest hall seats 20 for a board meeting, and three mid-sized halls cover 160 to 500 guests. The hotel stands on Yeni İstanbul Caddesi in the Selçuklu district of Konya, in central Türkiye, and describes itself as the city's first international five-star design hotel.
Seminars and company events
The hotel presents its meeting rooms as fitted with modern technical equipment for business meetings, seminars and special events. With five halls of very different sizes, one company can hold a plenary session, parallel workshops and a private board meeting at the same address, then keep the team on site for the night. Sales conferences, dealer meetings, product launches, training cycles and annual company gatherings all fit within the range of capacities the hotel publishes.
The Selçuklu Salon is set up for training sessions and presentations, with a projector, and takes 500 people. The Meram Salon, a medium to large hall designed for meetings and training programs, takes up to 180. The Karatay Salon, which the hotel describes as a refined room for meetings, takes 160. The Aladdin Salon is a meeting room for 20 with a projector, suited to a board meeting or a small working group.
Rooms and capacities
The Konya Balo Salonu is the hotel's high-capacity event space, for up to 1,000 people, with a sound system. It is the hall to ask about for a congress, a gala dinner, an award ceremony or a large company celebration. Capacities by layout, floor areas and the option of dividing halls are not published on the official site, so organisers should ask the events team for theater, classroom and banquet figures for each hall.
In total the five halls are the Konya Balo Salonu (up to 1,000), the Selçuklu Salon (500), the Meram Salon (up to 180), the Karatay Salon (160) and the Aladdin Salon (20).
Accommodation
Guests can stay on site in six room categories: Standard, Deluxe, Corner, Suite (Gold Premium), King Suite (Luxury Suite) and Family Suite. The total number of bedrooms is not given on the official site, so groups planning a residential seminar should confirm the room block early.
Catering
The hotel has three restaurants and bars: İnferno Mania Konya, Extrablatt Cafe & Bar and Mr. Frog Pub Bistro. They offer a choice of venues for an evening out after a day of meetings, and the events team can be asked about menus for coffee breaks, working lunches and dinners in the halls.
Getting there
The hotel's address is Akademi, Yeni İstanbul Caddesi No. 231/1, 42130 Selçuklu, Konya. It sits on one of the main roads into the city, which makes it easy to reach by car or coach for delegates coming from other parts of Türkiye.
