Seminars and company events
The Calico Ballroom is the room for conferences, executive retreats and corporate training. It measures 1,907 square feet, takes up to 150 guests and has natural light. It also serves product launches, media events, film screenings and gala dinners. For larger events, a full buyout combines the ballroom with the Cerith Lounge and Terrace.
The hotel also sells brand activations on the beach and pool deck, and corporate events built around the pool, beach or private rooms, for retreats, board meetings and incentive trips.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings use the Calico Ballroom, the lounges, the sun-lit terraces and the historic pool deck with ocean views. The hotel organises the whole weekend: welcome party, rehearsal dinner, wedding day and farewell brunch. A dedicated events team handles planning, and the process runs from enquiry and a tour to a proposal and a booked date. Social events include milestone birthdays, anniversaries and Bar and Bat Mitzvahs.
