Londonska Hotel in Odesa can host conferences, seminars, private dinners, receptions and weddings for up to 300 guests. It has two event halls, a courtyard patio and 70 bedrooms under the same roof, in a building that opened in 1827 on Prymorskyi Boulevard in the center of the city.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells its two halls as combined banquet and conference rooms. The large hall, Aivazovsky, is the main room for a plenary session, a product presentation or a company dinner. The small hall, Boffo, suits a workshop, a board meeting or a private lunch. Two further negotiation rooms are available for breakout groups or one-to-one meetings. The hotel states that a wide range of audio and video equipment is available, so a presentation can run without bringing your own kit.
A day of work can be paired with the on-site restaurant, and the hotel also lists a fitness area and a spa among its services, which helps for a two-day program.
Weddings and receptions
The Aivazovsky hall is presented as a place for weddings, banquets and receptions, with its own exit to the courtyard. That separate exit lets guests step outside between the ceremony, the dinner and the dancing without crossing the hotel lobby. The smaller Boffo hall opens onto the patio as well, which suits a welcome drink, a rehearsal dinner or a family lunch.
Rooms and capacities
The hotel states a maximum of 300 guests in the large hall for a banquet or reception. Its capacity table gives the following layouts.
Aivazovsky: theatre 250, banquet 150, classroom 70, round tables 56, U-shape 50.
Boffo (79 square meters): theatre 80, banquet 40, classroom 40, U-shape 25. The site also describes it as a room for up to 60 people.
The figures differ slightly between pages, so confirm the layout you need when you send your request.
Accommodation
The hotel has 70 bedrooms of different categories. Some face Prymorskyi Boulevard and others the inner courtyard. For a seminar this means speakers and delegates can sleep and work in the same building, and a wedding party can keep guests close to the venue.
Catering
The hotel runs its own restaurant and bar. The official site does not describe set menus for events, so ask what the kitchen proposes for your format, whether a seated dinner, a buffet or coffee breaks.
