Convention Venue
We are pleased to offer Sokos Hotel Viru as a conference
venue for the WFTGA Convention 2011.
The Viru hotel, which is one of the longest established hotels in Estonia, has a colourful history dating back to 1972. The building of Hotel Viru was the first tall tower block building in Estonia and has become one of the city’s symbols and an inseparable part of the silhouette of Tallinn. The hotel is located in the very heart of Tallinn, right at the gates of its medieval old town, and this central location gives easy access to public transport, the major sights, restaurants and shops, all of which are within walking distance.
Today, Sokos Hotel Viru is a renovated and modern conference hotel offering a wide range of services for business-travellers and holiday-makers alike. Besides comfortable hotel rooms and a contemporary conference centre, the hotel also boasts a big restaurant, a beauty centre, saunas and a night club. All of the hotel’s public areas and hotel rooms have wireless internet access. The hotel is under the same roof as the Viru Centre, Tallinn’s trendiest shopping and entertainment centre. There are several options for lunch/dinner available in the Viru Centre or in the old town nearby for days when participants will be having lunch/dinner on their own.
The hotel conference centre offers a wide range of multifunctional conference rooms suitable for the WFTGA Convention and delegates’ meeting. There are altogether seven conference rooms including a ballroom that can hold 500. Three of the rooms can be split into smaller sections so 11 rooms can be used simultaneously. Video-data projectors, computers, microphones and other necessary equipment are available in all the conference rooms and technical support will be provided by professional technicians. Lunch and coffee break facilities are nearby on the same floor and the large foyer area provides lots of space and a good location for the registration desk, cocktails and networking.
The Viru Conference Centre has hosted numerous high-level
international meetings and conventions and has a lot of experience in catering
for such events.
