The Gibson Hotel in Point Square, Dublin 1, hosts conferences, meetings, receptions and banquets for up to 300 guests in theatre layout. Its largest room, the Stratocaster Suite, measures 273.86 square meters and divides into three, and a set of smaller suites, a courtyard and a bar complete the choice.
Seminars and company events
The Stratocaster Suite has a ceiling height of 5.5 meters. Together its three parts hold 300 theatre, 200 banquet, 150 classroom, 120 cabaret and 60 in U-shape. Each part, Stratocaster A, B and C, holds 90 to 100 theatre or 60 banquet, so a plenary and two breakouts can run in parallel. The Alhambra and Cordoba suites each divide in two, and the Rickenbacker and Broadcaster suites suit boardroom meetings. The suite has surround sound, a PA system and microphones. Across the rooms the hotel provides drop-down screens, projectors, a lectern, staging, laptop connection, in-house AV staff and hybrid facilities with a 65 inch touch panel.
Rooms and capacities
Alhambra Suite holds 65 theatre or 50 banquet. Cordoba Suite holds 70 theatre or 40 classroom. Rickenbacker holds 25 theatre and 16 boardroom. Broadcaster seats 10. The Concourse offers 150 square meters of divisible space with full bar facilities. The Courtyard takes 45 for a banquet and can host a barbecue. The Residents Bar is available for groups of at least 40 seated. Rooms have natural daylight, air conditioning and blackout curtains. For a conference, use Stratocaster A for the plenary session, the other two parts for breakouts and the Concourse for coffee, so that delegates have a clear route between sessions. Ask the team which parts can share a wall without sound carrying.
