The hotel also caters to small and medium sized-events via two meeting rooms, the Galatea Ballroom that can accommodate up to 150 persons and the Darsalas auditorium which has 142 seats.

"Our entry into the highly competitive European market marks another exciting chapter in the Swiss-Belhotel International story," said Swiss-Belhotel International Chairman and President, Mr. Gavin M. Faull. "We started in Asia, expanded to Australia and New Zealand, and more recently have grown our presence in the Middle East for a group-wide management portfolio of 135 hotels, resorts and projects worldwide.
