The Ritz-Carlton, Shenzhen can seat 600 people in theatre style for a product launch, 360 at banquet tables for a gala or a wedding, and 12 around a boardroom table. The hotel is in Futian, the central business district of Shenzhen, with 280 bedrooms and 2,177 m2 of event space spread over 16 event rooms and 10 breakout rooms.
Seminars and company events
The hotel markets its rooms for product launches, training seminars, galas and board meetings. The Grand Ballroom carries the large plenary sessions and dinners, the Harmony Ballroom offers a second room of a good size for a parallel programme or a mid-size conference, and a series of smaller rooms named after planets and gems covers breakout groups. The Grand Ballroom has direct elevator access from the underground car park, which helps for load-in of stage sets and launch equipment. A dedicated Executive Boardroom suits a board meeting or a closed negotiation.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are part of the offer. The Grand Ballroom takes up to 360 banquet guests, and a rooftop garden can host an outdoor reception for up to 120. Private dining rooms suit rehearsal dinners and family gatherings. The catering team asks for the final guest count at least 72 hours before the wedding, and that guaranteed number is the one billed.
