Horizon Blu is a five-star waterfront hotel in Kalamata, in the Peloponnese, that hosts conferences of up to 450 people in theatre style, plus weddings and banquets. Two conference halls, known together as Selena, cover everything from an executive meeting to a large conference, and the hotel adds outdoor venues and indoor banquet halls for social events.
Seminars and company events
The Selena conference and event halls can be set up in several formats: up to 450 participants in theatre style, up to 200 in classroom style, and 20 to 90 in U-shape. The hotel also lists exhibition space of 600 square meters plus 200 square meters, which suits a trade show or a product presentation running alongside the sessions.
The halls are equipped with basic audiovisual equipment. Support services include secretarial help, a cloakroom and a business center with computers, printers and communications. Indoor or outdoor foyers are available for registration and coffee breaks, and the halls are fully accessible for guests with reduced mobility. The hotel presents the offer as suitable for executive meetings, incentive events and large conferences.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel sells weddings under the name Wedding in Blu. Its own chefs and staff run the reception, and the team plans the day with the couple according to their wishes. Before the wedding, the groom and his friends can hold a private party in one of the suites, while the bride-to-be can use a spa suite designed for the purpose. The hotel also proposes renewals of vows by the sea.
Other social events, from family celebrations to company parties, are handled as banquets, either in the indoor banquet halls or in the outdoor venues around the pools and the waterfront.
Rooms and capacities
The Selena halls hold up to 450 people in theatre layout, 200 in classroom layout and 20 to 90 in U-shape. Exhibition space adds 600 and 200 square meters. The hotel does not publish seating capacities for its banquet halls or outdoor venues, so ask for them in your request.
Accommodation
