Hospes Palacio de San Esteban in Salamanca hosts meetings of up to 140 people in theatre layout and receptions of up to 150 standing in its combined meeting hall, as well as cocktails in the cloister, banquets in stone halls and weddings in the old convent garden. The hotel occupies a former convent in the historic center of Salamanca, in Castile and León.
Seminars and company events
The hotel has five meeting rooms with daylight, independent air conditioning and equipment for hire, and an events team helps plan each booking. Consejo B, at 21 square meters, suits a board meeting of up to 16 around a single table. The San Esteban Cultural rooms cover the mid-size range, from a 65 square meter room for 50 in theatre layout to a 159 square meter room for 110. Opened up together as SEC 1+2+3, they form a 200 square meter hall for up to 140 in theatre layout, 90 in classroom layout or 150 for a standing cocktail.
After the working sessions, groups can move to the cloister for drinks, to the old refectory for a seated dinner or to the restaurant for a private meal. The setting works well for a management retreat, a client event or a congress side meeting in the city.
Weddings and receptions
