Planning a corporate seminar in Barcelona: seasons, venues and ideas

Barcelona offers some of the largest meeting spaces in the peninsula. The Cosmos Ballroom at the Hyatt Regency Barcelona Tower seats up to 1,800 people in theatre style, and the city hotels provide flexible rooms for parallel workshops.

Barcelona-El Prat airport is 20 to 25 minutes from the city hotels and from Sitges. Beyond the capital, the region opens onto the Costa Brava, the Penedès and Montserrat, and we arrange transfers to each venue so your group moves with ease.

• September to November: a relaxed season for seminars in the city and on the coast, with mild temperatures.
• Spring, April to June: a fine balance of weather and availability, and beach hotels open for the season.
• July and August: a bright, lively Mediterranean summer, perfect for terrace dinners by the water.
• Winter: Barcelona remains an ideal urban base for seminars, while countryside hotels prepare for their spring opening.

Each early March, the Mobile World Congress brings the mobile industry to the Fira de Barcelona on the Gran Via, so booking ahead is wise.

Each address has its own character, from the large plenary to the small committee:

• Hyatt Regency Barcelona Tower, at the gateway to the city: the 1,614 m² Cosmos Ballroom, 20 flexible meeting rooms and an ideal setting to close a convention.
• InterContinental Barcelona, on Montjuïc: 22 flexible, soundproofed meeting rooms across 3,000 m² of event space, including the Verdi ballroom.
• Meliá Sitges, in Sitges: 307 rooms, 27 meeting rooms and an auditorium of about 1,600 m² seating up to 1,380 in theatre style.
• Hotel Aigua Blava, in Begur, on the Fornells beach: 90 rooms, two meeting rooms for 100 people in total and a bay setting for inspiring seminars.

Barcelona knows how to welcome a group at the table:

• Can Majó, in the Barceloneta: seafood and market-driven Mediterranean cooking in a family house that has been open since 1968, facing the sea.
• Torre d'Alta Mar, at the top of the Sant Sebastià cable car tower: a U-shaped room with panoramic views over the city and the port, available for private hire.
• Carpe Diem Lounge Club, on the Barceloneta seafront: a terrace and funky house music, open from noon until 3 a.m. for a long evening of drinks.
• Tablao de Carmen, in the Poble Espanyol: a dinner accompanied by live flamenco in an Andalusian tavern setting.

• Group visit to the Casa Batlló, Gaudí's work on the Passeig de Gràcia: a visit of about 1 hour 15 minutes, for groups of 21 people or more.
• Cellar visit in the Penedès, the birthplace of cava: a half day from Barcelona, with a tour and tasting.
• Private catamaran from the Port Olímpic: two to three hours at sea, with a skipper, a swimming stop and an open deck, for a team-building outing.

The Montserrat monastery pairs well with this programme, as a half day or a full day.

The budget for a seminar in Barcelona depends on the season, the hotel category, the size of the group and the level of transfers. A plenary in a large room, a stay in Begur or an incentive in the Penedès each offer a distinct experience and format.
