The Hotel Colón Gran Meliá can host a conference of up to 200 people in theatre layout, a seated banquet for 200 or a standing cocktail for 250, across four event rooms with 312 m² of combined space. The hotel is a five-star property of the Spanish group Meliá in the center of Seville, a short walk from the cathedral and the shopping streets.
Seminars and company events
The event offer is built around the Galería, a suite of three rooms with a ceiling height of 3.30 m that can be used separately or opened into one hall. Galería I, the largest at 165 m², seats 100 in theatre style, 70 in classroom style, 56 in cabaret style, or 30 around a boardroom table or in a U shape. Galería II and Galería III, 71 m² and 76 m², each take between 45 and 55 people in theatre style and 30 in classroom style, which makes them useful as breakout rooms next to a plenary session.
A fourth room, the Coworking, measures 60 m² and is set for 22 people around a boardroom table or in a U shape. It suits a board meeting, a committee or a small working session during a larger conference. The hotel lists audiovisual equipment, Wi-Fi, hybrid event solutions for remote participants and a team that adapts each event to the client.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel's event sheet mentions celebrations for guests, family and friends, and the Galería can take a banquet of 200 or a cocktail of 250. Wedding packages are not described on the official pages we could check, so couples should ask the hotel directly what it offers.
Rooms and capacities
Galería I and II together cover 236 m² for 180 at a cocktail, 150 at a banquet, 145 in theatre style and 100 in classroom style. Galería II and III together cover 147 m² for 145 at a cocktail, 100 at a banquet or in theatre style and 65 in classroom style. With all three rooms open, the 312 m² hall takes 250 at a cocktail, 200 at a banquet, 200 in theatre style and 140 in classroom style. Each single room also works for a cocktail: 160 in Galería I, 75 in Galería II and 80 in Galería III.
Accommodation
The hotel has guest rooms and suites on site, so speakers and delegates can stay in the same building as the meeting. The exact number of rooms should be confirmed with the hotel when planning a residential event.
Catering
Banquet layouts are offered in every Galería room, and menus for coffee breaks, lunches and dinners are arranged with the hotel's own team.
History and setting
The Colón is one of the historic hotels of Seville, in the old center within walking distance of the cathedral, the Giralda, the Museo de Bellas Artes and the Guadalquivir riverbanks. A city-center address means delegates can walk to dinners and visits after the sessions without arranging coaches.
Getting there
Sevilla-Santa Justa station, served by high-speed AVE trains from Madrid in about two and a half hours, is a short taxi ride away. Seville airport is about 20 minutes by car.
