Congresses, conferences, trainings, corporate events, balls, family celebrations and weddings for up to 700 guests can be held at Hotel International Brno, a large city hotel at Husova 16 in the historic center of Brno, Czech Republic. With 233 rooms in the same building, a group can meet, dine and sleep without leaving the hotel.
Seminars and company events
The conference center sits on the ground floor and is built around four congress halls, A to D, that open into one another, plus a numbered series of meeting rooms. The halls and rooms have natural daylight, air conditioning, WiFi and wired internet, and a foyer that looks onto the city center. Layouts change with the event, from theater seating to banquet tables. The hotel covers congresses, conferences, product presentations, workshops, trainings, corporate parties and gala dinners, with technical support from its own team. It has worked for decades with Brno Trade Fairs and Exhibitions and the Brno Circuit, so large delegations are routine here.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel organizes wedding ceremonies on site, then the meal and the party, with rooms for the couple and their guests. Couples can use the restaurants, an outdoor terrace and a restaurant with live piano music. Family celebrations and balls are also part of the offer.

Menus for meetings and weddings are agreed with the sales team.
History and setting
An architectural competition for the hotel was held in 1957 and building started in 1959. The hotel opened on June 28, 1962, in a functionalist design by Arnošt Krejza's team, mixing Bauhaus functionalism with touches of the Brussels and Brazilian styles of the time. Glass, chrome and marble interiors hold original 1962 works by Jaroslava Brychtová and Stanislav Libenský, Bohumír Matal, Konrád Babraj and others. Guests have included Queen Elizabeth II in 1996. After years in the Best Western chain, the hotel became independent again in 2023 and took back its original name.
Getting there
The hotel stands in the pedestrian zone of the old town, a few steps from the main sights and close to Špilberk Castle. It has its own parking with 40 spaces and garages, open around the clock. Brno main railway station and Brno-Tuřany Airport serve the city.
