Wellness Hotel Patria, a four-star hotel at Štrbské Pleso in the High Tatras, Slovakia, hosts congresses, company training days, symposia and company events. Its congress hall takes up to 400 people, a second hall by the Vatra club takes up to 160, and four smaller salons cover groups of 25 to 80.

Seminars and company events
The hotel sets out a congress offer with halls and salons, catering, technical equipment and team-building. It says its rooms suit company training, corporate events, symposia and congresses, and that the technical equipment is modern and professional. Its staff look after accommodation, gastronomy and relaxation alongside the congress services.
A 70-square-meter foyer in front of Congress Hall 1 serves as a space for exhibitions, a cloakroom and registration. During a congress it can host coffee breaks and buffet refreshments. Team-building is listed as a separate service, so a working day in the hall can be followed by activities in the mountains around the hotel.
