Ballroom 1 is the largest hall at 6,000 sq. ft. It takes 600 people in theatre layout, 240 in classroom layout and 220 in cluster layout, with a 2,000 sq. ft. pre-function area for registration and coffee breaks.

For a mid-size conference, Town Hall holds 350 in theatre layout, 130 in classroom layout and 80 around a boardroom table. Senator takes 150 in theatre layout, Premier 120 and Raj Hall 70. These rooms suit training days, product launches and regional sales meetings.
Two boardrooms, Origin 1 and Origin 2, seat 12 and 16 people. Both come with video conferencing, a digital boardroom setup, a projector, a screen, a microphone and automated lighting and climate control. They work for steering committees, client meetings and hybrid calls.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel sells weddings and social events in a new banquet block that it says welcomes up to 1,200 guests. The 9,600 sq. ft. terrace holds 1,000 in floating layout and 500 in theatre layout, which gives a second option for a large reception. Event planners and decorators are available through the hotel, and parking is provided for guests.
Rooms and capacities
The hotel publishes a table with theatre, U-shape, cluster, classroom and boardroom figures for each hall. Ballroom 1 holds 1,200 in floating layout. Town Hall holds 800 and the combined Ballroom 3 and 4 space holds 1,000. Ballroom 3 and Ballroom 4 each hold 150 floating and 120 theatre when used on their own, and Ballroom 4 comes with a 928 sq. ft. buffet area.
The hotel does not give separate banquet or cocktail counts. Its floating figure is the closest match to a standing reception, so ask for the seated dinner count before you plan a gala.
