Manos Conference Center is a meeting venue on Chaussée de Charleroi in Saint-Gilles, in Brussels. It offers meeting rooms for between 6 and 120 people, suited to seminars, trainings, courses and product launches. The center is backed by the neighboring Manos Premier and Manos Stéphanie hotels and also operates as a business center.
Seminars and company events
The official site describes seven to eight meeting rooms with daylight, designed to make the most of light and space in each room. Its own pages give both figures, so ask the team which rooms are available for your date. Every room has wireless broadband internet, projectors and screens, air conditioning and telephone lines, and the audiovisual equipment is included.
The center sells several meeting formulas: residential packages, full-day seminars and half-day seminars. Coffee breaks can be served in the lobby or in the meeting room itself, with coffee, tea, orange juice, cake and fresh fruit.
Rooms and capacities
Six rooms are listed with their size and maximum capacity.
Petit Sablon covers 15 square meters and holds 6 people. Grand Sablon covers 35 square meters and holds up to 16. Parc Royal covers 55 square meters and holds up to 25. TWL 1 covers 60 square meters and holds up to 25. Atomium covers 68 square meters and holds up to 30. Grand Place is the largest room, at 200 square meters, with up to 120 people depending on the layout.
The capacity depends on the arrangement chosen, so give the team your layout (theatre, boardroom, classroom or U-shape) when you request the room. The site puts the overall limit at 100 participants on one page and 120 on another, and the largest room figure listed is 120.
Accommodation
The center works with the two Manos hotels, Manos Premier and Manos Stéphanie, which support its meeting offer and make residential formulas possible. The site does not give bedroom counts, so ask the hotels for the number of rooms available for your dates.
Catering
Lunch is served at Kolya, the restaurant of the Manos Premier, located across from the center. Guests eat under a glass vault with an ostrich egg chandelier, or on a terrace that opens onto gardens and a fountain. The kitchen is inspired by traditional Belgian cooking. Coffee breaks and buffets can also be served in the lobby.
Getting there
The center is at Chaussée de Charleroi 135, 1060 Saint-Gilles. The site places it a short walk from the main shops and from the city center. It has its own parking, which helps when part of the group arrives by car.
