Conventions
Antigua Guatemala is one of the world's most unique
locations for congresses and conventions. With modern conference
facilities, outstanding hotels and a great variety of restaurants.
Antigua has the entire infrastructure needed for large and small
conventions alike. Because Antigua is located just 30 minutes from
Guatemala's international airport, it offers a central, convenient
location, free of traffic congestion and the bustle of large metropolitan
areas, for congresses and conventions.
Conference guests can stroll from their hotels to meetings,
along cobblestone streets lined with adobe houses and colonial buildings.
Antigua offers museums, colonial ruins, art galleries and cultural
events to occupy conference goers in their free hours. Antigua's
hotels contain conference facilities that can accommodate up to
2,300 people. They are equipped with modern audio-visual equipment,
and can easily arrange other services, such as translations.
In addition to conference centers in hotels, several
of Antigua's monasteries and convents have been adapted for conference
use. In total, conference space for as many as 3,500 people is available
in Antigua Guatemala.
With a hotel capacity of about 600 rooms, the city
offers excellent accommodations in all price ranges to suit every
taste. Naturally, Antigua is where world leaders stay when are visiting
Guatemala. Both United States President Bill Clinton and First Lady
Hillary Clinton chose Antigua hotels during their visit to Guatemala.
As everyone who has attended a conference knows, informal
meetings where people can exchange information and renew old friendships
are just as important as the main events in the conference rooms.
Antigua Guatemala offers lots of lovely niches for
private conversations and dining Cuisine from Guatemala and around
the world is elegantly served in colonial courtyards draped with
bright bougainvillea flowers. With a central location, lots of conference
facilities, superb hotels, great restaurants, and a beautiful, safe
setting.
