US$1 million renovation strengthens resort's position as one of the most comprehensive and versatile MICE venues in Southeast Asia
PHUKET, Thailand, May 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa today announced the launch of its newly renovated Grand Ballroom. The opening of the state-of-the-art ballroom, a versatile 850 square-meter space, comes after the extensive refurbishment of the resort's guestrooms and dining concepts in the last 18 months.
"The Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa is one of the most comprehensive and versatile MICE venues for small, medium and large events in Southeast Asia," said Andre A. Gomez, general manager, Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa. "Our new ballroom is a world-class space that features the latest technology, catering to the needs of modern MICE organisers. This, along with our award winning MICE team, means that the resort will continue to set the benchmark for hosting quality MICE events in Thailand."
In Phuket, the Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa offers MICE event planners with unrivalled versatility and choice for indoor and outdoor venues. While the renovated Grand Ballroom features meeting and event space that can accommodate groups of up to 800 people, the resort is well suited to both small and medium sized groups, ensuring privacy and exclusivity.
The ASEAN Plus 2013 Rubber Conference and Exhibition was the inaugural event held in the new ballroom. With approximately 500 delegates from 13 countries, the event was held from 10-12 April, 2013 and attended by Deputy Agriculture Minister of Thailand, Mr. Yutthapong Charasathien. The success of the high-profile regional event illustrates the capabilities of the new ballroom and the Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa's award-winning MICE team.
The organising committee of the ASEAN Plus 2013 Rubber Conference and Exhibition chose the Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa because of the venue's versatility to provide intimate space for small meetings, large venues for the bigger sessions and a host of appropriate dining options for meals.
