Union Hotels hosted the PRIVATE MICE Autumn 2017

With the event organisers seeking a developed meetings industry city that would give attendees the intimate touch, Ljubljana was the only sensible choice, and so the event was hosted in Slovenia’s capital and largest city. A series of networking activities and dinners provided a great opportunity for independent properties and small collections to build great business relationships and the opening night was hosted at Modna Hiša (“Fashion House”), which was once a thriving shopping hall and recently became the venue for unique events with a fashion-inspired setting. The networking and activity opportunities were held in the renovated Union Hall, which can host up to 850 attendees. The exclusive location of the Grand Hotel Union, located in the heart of the city centre and overlooking Prešeren Square and the Triple Bridge, gave its guests the perfect base to explore Ljubljana and its surroundings during their free time.

BEHIND THE SCENES
Karantanija congress hall: between music, trees and wild animals

In August 2016, Union Hotels in cooperation with Conventa Crossover presented a new “out of the box” meeting concept to meeting planners at the Hotel Lev. This year it was time for a real jungle upgrade of the Karantanija conference hall, which can accommodate up to 400 guests. The carefully designed venue with a jungle theme and a precise eye for detail wowed the attendees. The Union Hotels team designed the venue with a cosy living room feeling mixed with the wild vibe of being in a jungle. The big bamboos and palm trees added the lush, jungle theme, while several flying animals created the jungle wildness. Since we believe in the power of all the six senses, Union Hotels did an amazing job when it came to the culinary delights, prepared by their chefs with a special ‘jungle theme’. For any further snacking the hall wasn’t lacking, with more than 100 kilos of bananas, pineapples and coconuts for visitors to enjoy!
