St. Virgil Salzburg is a conference and education center where companies, associations and training providers organize seminars, symposiums, presentations and university courses for up to 400 participants. The house has 14 seminar and conference rooms, foyers, an exhibition space, several hospitality rooms and 83 bedrooms on the same grounds. It stands in a park in the city of Salzburg, Austria.
Seminars and company events
The conference side of the house is run as an events center. Each of the 14 seminar and conference rooms is equipped with current presentation technology, and most of them receive natural light. Accessible rooms are available, which matters for mixed groups. An organizational team supports planners with the schedule, the room set-up and the catering, and the house sells conference packages as well as conference catering.
Choosing a room is straightforward. The venue publishes an interactive room planner and a room comparison table. You enter the number of participants, from groups under ten up to about one hundred, and pick a seating arrangement: conference, parliament, theater, U-shape, circle or banquet. The planner then lists the rooms that fit. For larger meetings the house states space for up to 400 conference or seminar participants.
Rooms and capacities
The event rooms include Virgil Hall, Rupert Hall, Sebastian Ritter Hall, the Banquet Hall, the Club room, the Parlor room, the Atelier and the Meditation room, along with numbered seminar rooms from 1 to 15. The Park café and the Restaurant can also be selected as event rooms. The rooms are spread over the lower, ground and upper floors of the St. Virgil house and the St. Rupert house. Floor areas, ceiling heights and capacities by layout are listed in the venue's comparison table, so ask for the layout you need when you send a request.
Accommodation
The hotel has 83 rooms in two houses. One house is in modern architecture, the other in country house style. Both sit in a quiet position surrounded by the park. Breakfast is organic and built around Salzburg products. A residential seminar can therefore run on one site, with participants sleeping a few steps from the session rooms.
Catering
The kitchen cooks regional and organic dishes. The Park café borders the nature park and works for coffee breaks and lighter meals, while the Restaurant serves seated meals. The team also takes care of catering and of the organization of private celebrations. The venue lists conference catering options separately from the room offer, so you can match breaks and lunches to the length of the day.
History and setting
The house offers a quiet setting inside the city. The park holds stone sculptures and can be used for breaks between sessions. The venue also runs an art space, the Virgil Kunstraum, which shows three to four contemporary art exhibitions a year with free entry and hosts an artists-in-residence program. The house also runs an education program next to the event business, so the rooms are used to hosting training groups.
Getting there
The house is easy to reach by public transport from the city of Salzburg. About 200 parking spaces are free, which suits groups arriving by car or minibus. The address is Ernst-Grein-Straße 14, 5026 Salzburg.
