We know that planning the perfect event takes a lot of effort. And, among the many key elements that contribute to designing a truly memorable get together, the choice of destination is one of the most important. As the world’s traditional conference centers are being increasingly affected by strained capacity, event planners are now looking outside major cities for savings and variety. So, if you’re not sure where you should host your next corporate meeting or happening, see below for some unique and surprising event destinations that are sure to leave a lasting impression for your delegates.
Copenhagen, Denmark
Stylish Copenhagen has everything you need - and more - for unforgettable meetings, conferences and events. This stunning capital city combines modern design and ancient history with a strong focus on customer service, inspired by the Danes’ unique open-mindedness. And it’s also easily accessible - most major airline operators have regular flights to and from Copenhagen and the airport is just a 15 minute-drive from the city center.
Copenhagen also has a world leading record as a safe and environmentally friendly destination: according to the Global Peace Index 2016, Denmark is the second safest destination in the world. (This explains why it's also a great destination for families). It also has one of the world's most ambitious climate policies, aiming to ensure the country becomes completely independent of fossil fuels - making Copenhagen the perfect place for sustainable meetings.
It’s a city where you can really enjoy an authentic taste of Danish lifestyle and culture in a great choice of iconic venues. If you want to stay in heart of the city, the elegant Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel, Copenhagen offers modern meeting facilities for up to 1,700 guests.
Nice, France
An invitation to sophisticated Nice - with all the authentic charm of the French Riviera - is certain to deliver memorable experiences for your guests. Beautiful Nice has a glorious setting on the coast not far from Monaco and the Italian border, creating a unique ambience that blends the best of Southern France with a touch of savvy Italian sophistication.
The bonus? An exceptional microclimate: open to the sea but protected from wind by the hills, Nice is truly a sunny hotspot. And the little Mediterranean Nice Côte d'Azur Airport - located just 10 minutes from the city center - offers flights to 114 destinations in over 40 countries.
Stylish and dynamic, Nice is an inspirational setting for meetings and events. And its famous waterside Promenade des Anglais, is home to the stunning Radisson Blu Hotel, Nice, with its exceptional rooftop restaurant and interior design. The recently renovated meetings and events facilities include 31 well considered spaces with unforgettable views of the magical Mediterranean.
Edinburgh, Scotland
The charming Scottish capital offers a delightfully different destination for your next meeting or event. One of Europe’s most beautiful cities, Edinburgh is intimately entwined with its landscape, with turreted buildings and monuments perched on crags overlooking the sea. Go wandering to discover the spectacular medieval and neoclassical architecture - or to explore all the city’s intriguing nooks and crannies.
Getting around is easy thanks to the compact, accessible city center, frequent and reliable public transport options, and good connections to global hubs through Edinburgh Airport.
And the surroundings are a real golfer’s paradise: golf has been part of Scotland’s sporting heritage since the 15th century and there are now more than 550 golf courses dotted around the country - ranging from championship links to little hidden gems. So it’s a perfect choice if you’re looking to provide your delegates with some great post-conference leisure time.
The Scottish capital’s world-renowned hospitality is matched by an iconic choice of venues. Excellently located in the historic center, the Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre is only a short walk from the city’s major attractions and offers modern meeting facilities as well as rooms with remarkable views.
