Conventions, seminars, training days, banquets and weddings for up to 300 guests can be organized at the Noom Hotel Conakry, a hotel of 183 rooms and suites in downtown Conakry, Guinea. It stands on the coast, close to the Sainte-Marie Cathedral and the Grand Mosque, and gives a delegation meeting rooms, bedrooms and restaurants in one building.
Seminars and company events
The conference center covers about 1,000 m² and is built around modular rooms. Bel Air, 300 m², is the plenary room: 300 in theatre style, 200 in classroom style or 175 in cabaret. It divides into Bel Air 1, 170 m² for 160 in theatre style, and Bel Air 2, 130 m² for 120. Coleah and Matam, 60 m² each, seat 50 in theatre style or 30 around a conference table, and Kipé and Taouyah, 35 m² each, take a board meeting of 12 or a workshop of 25.
This mix suits a plenary followed by breakout sessions without moving delegates between buildings. Each room has audiovisual equipment, and the hotel adds high-speed Wi-Fi, a business center, a private reception area and a custom room setup on request. Workshops, training sessions and meetings of a few people use the same rooms on a smaller scale.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are among the events the hotel hosts. Bel Air takes 250 at banquet tables or 300 for a cocktail, and Bel Air 1 alone suits a reception of 140 seated. An outdoor garden adds space for a cocktail before or after dinner.
Rooms and capacities
For receptions, Bel Air 1 receives 170 for a cocktail or 120 for a buffet, and Bel Air 2 receives 130 for a cocktail or 80 for a banquet. Coleah and Matam each take 60 for a cocktail or 40 at banquet tables. Kipé and Taouyah take 30 standing, which works for a small private drinks reception.
Accommodation
The hotel has 183 rooms and suites, enough to house a regional conference on site. Guests have an infinity pool and a fully equipped fitness center, which are useful for a stay of several days.
Catering
Catering is in-house. The executive chef prepares a menu for each event, from coffee breaks to seated dinners. The signature restaurant, L'Adresse, serves Afro-fusion cuisine, and the hotel also has a lounge bar and a bar by the pool, which can host an informal evening after the sessions.
Getting there
The hotel is in downtown Conakry, on the seafront. Conakry International Airport is about 13 km away, roughly 45 minutes by car depending on traffic, so allow time in the program for arrivals and departures.
