Hotel Viva Villahermosa can host congresses, conventions and large weddings for up to 700 guests in its main ballroom, and smaller meetings, training sessions and private dinners in six other rooms. The hotel stands on Avenida Adolfo Ruiz Cortines in Villahermosa, the capital of the state of Tabasco in southeastern Mexico, opposite the Parque Museo La Venta.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells its rooms for congresses, fairs, conventions, plenary sessions, product launches, forums and training workshops. Salón Tabasco is the largest space, for up to 700 guests. It divides into Salón Tabasco 1 (up to 220), Salón Tabasco 2 (up to 200) and Salón Tabasco 3 (up to 200), and Salón Tabasco 3 splits again into 3A and 3B, each for up to 70. The smaller sections suit press conferences, working sessions, internal training and executive breakfasts. Every room can be set as auditorium, classroom, banquet or cocktail, and all but La Carreta and the full ballroom also take a horseshoe layout.
For a meeting of a few people, the business center has four meeting rooms for 10 people each, with individual cubicles, internet, computers, printers, a scanner and secretarial support. It also works as a back office for an organizing team running a larger event in the ballroom.
Weddings and receptions
Salón Tabasco is presented for weddings with a large guest list, as well as social banquets and family celebrations. Salón Tabasco 1 is offered for social banquets and corporate dinners. La Carreta, the smallest room at 35 guests, is used for family gatherings and private dinners.
