MiCE CAPACITY

Our current capacity varies from 8000 sq ft in Holiday Inn & Crowne Plaza properties to 47,000 sq ft in our convention center in Greater Noida. Total meeting space between all our hotels in Delh/NCR is 93,850 sq ft. with a combination of pillarless ballrooms and breakout rooms with natural sunlight. Additionally, outdoor lawn venue options are also available in most of our hotels.

INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL EVENTS

We have hosted major events such as World Fair Trade Organization (Biennial Conference 2017), Asian Rotomoulders Association (Biennial Conference), and association events by CII, SIAM, and DACAI. We have also organised exhibitions for partners like India Expo Mart and Auto Expo Delhi.

RISING ABOVE THE HICCUPS

Cultural differences such as language barriers and dietary requirements can pose some challenges at international conferences. This is especially true for global events where participation can come from 70 countries each with different preferences and requirements. Managing these differences whilst delivering a seamless event is what differentiates a good hotel from a great hotel.

FOOD PREFERENCES

International conference/business guests generally prefer Indian specialties, although a less spicy. We have an array of live cooking choices. Theme tea breaks with Indian savouries combined with a glimpse of Indian folk culture with sound and motion can make all the difference. In the evening, live bands and international musicians are an ideal end to a productive day.

NCR FOR INBOUND MiCE

India's travel and tourism sector is the fastest growing amongst G20 countries, growing by 8.5 per cent in 2016 and expected to grow further by 6.7 per cent in 2017. Apart from being a hot destination, the facilities and services offered in India are known the world over for their warmth and hospitality.

Delhi NCR is the best choice because of its excellent international air connectivity, a world class airport, location for headquarters of many large corporates, and of course, being the seat to the Union Government. As a destination, Aerocity itself offers over 4,000 rooms in different categories with ample meeting space and connectivity. The state-of-the-art technology offering, world cuisine, quality service, safety are some other benefits.
