Banquets for up to 1,000 guests, conferences, company receptions and weddings can be organized at the Nagoya Kanko Hotel, a city-center hotel opened in 1936 in the Nishiki district of Nagoya. Its banquet floors offer twelve rooms, from the Nago-no-Ma hall for 1,000 people to private rooms for 20, plus an 18th-floor salon above the city.
Seminars and company events
The hotel has a dedicated banquet department that sells meeting, conference and reception plans. The 2nd and 3rd floors hold the main banquet rooms, which can serve large conventions, award dinners, shareholder gatherings and year-end parties. Smaller rooms on the same floors suit committee meetings and breakout sessions of about 25 people. On the 18th floor, Salon Escoffier groups three rooms named IBUKI, ONTAKE and SUZUKA for executive dinners and receptions of 20 to 80 guests. The hotel has received delegations for the 2005 Aichi Expo, the outreach session of the 2016 G7 Ise-Shima Summit and the 2019 G20 foreign ministers' meeting.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel has a long wedding tradition. Ceremonies take place in the Broadway Fushimi Chapel, known as the Sazanka Chapel until 2016. Receptions use the banquet rooms, and the hotel offers wedding plans, dresses and accessories, as well as benefits for couples whose parents or grandparents also married at the hotel.
