Mountain Heritage in Katoomba can host conferences of up to 200 delegates in theatre layout, cocktail events of up to 400 guests, board meetings for eight to 15 people and small weddings, with 41 rooms and suites on site. The hotel stands at the corner of Apex and Lovel Streets, above the Jamison Valley in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells day delegate rates and residential packages. Both include catering from Jamison Views Restaurant, and the team adjusts each package to the program. A company can hold its plenary in the main room, run breakout work in the Tower Room and keep the boardrooms for quieter sessions. Meeting spaces have modern audiovisual equipment and high-speed WiFi, and delegates park free of charge on site.
The setting shapes the team-building offer. The hotel runs guided bushwalks and outdoor challenges in the surrounding landscape, and delegates have use of an outdoor activity center set aside for hotel groups. A day of workshops can end with a walk along the escarpment before dinner.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings here are on the smaller side. The hotel names a range from a private dinner for ten to a cocktail party for forty, and it also plans elopements and micro weddings. Ceremonies take place in the gardens or on the terraces, with sandstone cliffs behind the couple, at sunset or in the morning. Guests then move to drinks on the terrace and into a reception room with high ceilings, European-style furniture and tall windows over the valley. A wedding brochure and an inquiry form are available on the hotel's site.
Rooms and capacities
The Main Conference Room is the largest space. It seats 200 in theatre style, holds 400 for a cocktail event and can also be set as a classroom or for a banquet, with integrated audiovisual support. The Tower Room takes 20 to 50 people and gets plenty of natural light. The executive boardrooms seat eight to 15 people in quiet parts of the building, with views across the Jamison Valley.
Accommodation
The hotel has 41 rooms and suites in four categories: Heritage Suite, Heritage Room, Mountain View Room and Heritage Spa and Fireplace Room. Delegates and wedding guests can stay on site, which simplifies residential seminars and weekends built around a ceremony.
Catering
Jamison Views Restaurant handles catering for meetings and events. It serves breakfast, an a la carte dinner and seasonal events such as Yulefest, and it offers in-room dining. Conference packages include a two-course lunch option.
History and setting
The hotel describes itself as a historic boutique property with more than a century of history, run in the manner of a European country retreat and still keeping its original character. It looks over the Jamison Valley toward the World Heritage-listed wilderness of the Blue Mountains.
