Seminars and company events
Grand Palace Brno, a five-star hotel on Šilingrovo náměstí in the historic centre of Brno, hosts meetings, training sessions and congresses for 10 to 160 people, and receptions or company parties for up to 120 guests. The hotel formerly operated as Barceló Brno Palace and belongs to the Czech Inn Hotels group. Špilberk Castle is a few minutes away on foot.
The meeting rooms are the Grand Hall, the three salons Petrov, Špilberk and Veveří, the Morava room and the Palazzo.
