Blue Orchid Hotels

A good conference venue is essential for the success of any conference, as it sets the tone and atmosphere for the entire event. This blog covers the key factors to consider when selecting luxury meeting rooms London




Adequate size and layout


The conference venue should be able to comfortably accommodate the expected number of attendees, as well as any necessary equipment or stages. This includes having enough space for attendees to move around freely, as well as having enough seating or tables for everyone. Additionally, the layout of the venue should be well-designed and easy for attendees to navigate.


Meeting rooms or breakout spaces


In addition to the main conference area, event venues should have a variety of smaller meeting rooms or breakout spaces where attendees can gather in smaller groups for more intimate conversations or team-building activities. These spaces should be well-equipped with tables, chairs, and other necessary equipment.


Lighting and acoustics


The lighting and acoustics of the conference venue are incredibly important, as they can greatly impact the overall experience of the conference. The conference room should be well-lit, with natural light if possible, but also with adjustable lighting to cater for different requirements. Good acoustics help ensure that attendees can hear presentations and speeches clearly and comfortably, regardless of the size of the room.


Technology and audio-visual equipment


Technology and audio-visual equipment play a crucial role in many conferences, and a good conference venue should have all of the necessary equipment readily available. This includes projectors, screens, sound systems, and any other equipment needed for presentations, speeches, or other activities. The venue should also have a reliable and fast internet connection for the attendees' use.


Location and accessibility


The conference venue should be located in a convenient area that is easily accessible for attendees, whether they are travelling by car, train, or plane. The venue should also be near a variety of lodging and transportation options, so attendees can easily and comfortably get to and from the conference. Tower Suites by Blue Orchid hotels is located 5 minutes from the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, River Thames and Tower Pier. Guests can find the hotel easily on a map and it offers transportation to and from the airport to their guests. 


Professional and attentive staff


A good conference venue should have a team of professional and attentive staff who can assist with planning and executing the event. The staff should be able to answer any questions attendees may have, provide directions or information on the conference schedule, and offer support as needed.


Catering options


The conference venue should offer a variety of catering options to accommodate the different dietary needs and preferences of the attendees. It should have the facility to prepare and serve food and drinks in-house if required.


Variety of layout options


Any excellent conference venue should be able to accommodate different styles of events, such as roundtable discussions, auditorium-style presentations, and theatre-style shows so that the organisation can choose the best layout for their conference. Blue Orchid Suites have different event venues within the hotel to ensure that the event organiser can have the perfect layout for the event without having to make any compromises. 


Room for exhibitors


For conferences that require an exhibitor area, conference venues should have an area dedicated to exhibitors where they can showcase their products, and services, and interact with the attendees.


Room for relaxation and networking 


Event venues for conferences should have some dedicated space for attendees to relax and network between sessions or during breaks. This could include a lounge area, a rooftop terrace, or a courtyard. Tower Suites has an ambient rooftop bar. Guests can share a drink or two while they chat about the events of the day. 


Adequate parking with transportation 


Every good conference venue provides ample parking and/or has transportation options nearby to help attendees easily get to and from the conference.
