A Blend Of Business And Pleasure In A Tropical Grandeur

NUSA DUA, Indonesia - June 13, 2014 - PRLog -- Offering extensive and highly reputed meetings, incentives, conference and exhibition (MICE) facilities, including the Grand Ballroom, capable of seating a total of 1,000 people for a sit-down dinner or 1,500 for a cocktail reception.

The Grand Ballroom officially opened as the host venue for the PATA Gold Award Luncheon, which was held on September 28, 2007 and attended by 860 key travel industry people.   In total, Grand Hyatt Bali offers 25 function rooms, which also include two ballrooms: the Grand Ballroom and the Karangasem Ballroom.

The concept of the Grand Ballroom, designed by Sydney-based interior designer Diana Simpson, is a contemporary version of the traditional “Wantilan Pavillions”, Bali’s native communal meeting halls enhanced with a degree of timelessness. It was designed architecturally to blend seamlessly with the resort and the tropical gardens within which it is located, with the theme of the resort reflected in the selection of natural materials and finishes used – a combination of warm, timber tones, textural stone vertical wall panels, the rich colors tones of the ethnic-patterned fabrics, glass to provide natural daylight, customized carpet designs and unique lighting features.

“We are delighted that we were able to stay true to the original, natural ambience of Grand Hyatt Bali, while establishing a facility that will support a seamless operation for bigger and more elaborate events”, said Director of Marketing, Ron Nomura.

The main Grand Ballroom is an impressive 1,200 sqm space, with lofty 10-meter high ceilings and a 6-meter deep in-built stage with dressing rooms.  It can be sub-divided into three separate sound-proofed function spaces, each with individual controls for lighting, A/V and entrances.

There is also a large pre-function area that opens onto an expanse of tropical gardens and lawns featuring custom-built stone buffet/service counters that further facilitate catering requirements.

In addition, within the complex are a series of smaller meeting/function rooms/board rooms that can accommodate between 12 and 1,500 people.  These smaller spaces are more residential and homely in ambience and are designed for maximum flexibility and multi-functional usage.

State-of-the-art comprehensive audiovisual facilities, including a fiber optic backbone for internet and Wi-Fi connectivity, a cutting-edge sound system and a flexible lighting system, have been fully integrated into the design to allow for events of any kind, whether an intimate dinner, a fashion show, an exhibition or a theatrical performance.

The strategic location of the new Grand Ballroom within the hotel’s entrance and the dedicated Porte Cochére that has been added for ease of arrival and departure further enhances Grand Hyatt Bali’s competitive edge in attracting MICE groups that may otherwise be using a number of hotels within the Nusa Dua area for accommodation.

“While we are naturally thrilled with our new facility, the dedicated team of event specialists at Grand Hyatt Bali are also key to ensuring the most successful events”, said Director of Marketing, Ron Nomura. “They are available round-the-clock to provide our clients with quality planning and flawless execution.”
