The Dublin Royal Convention Centre, adjacent to the new Le Pole Square is now open, under the same ownership as Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Dublin and Velvære Spa.
The new €20m convention centre will offer facilities for events from private boardroom meetings to professional conferences of up to 800 people and gala banquets for 550 guests.
The centre has over 2,020 square metres of meeting and event space with capacity for over 1,100 delegates. The new venue spans two floors, with the main plenary room, five break-out rooms and an exhibition space.
Suites
The main Douglas Hyde Suite (named after Ireland’s first president) on the ground floor level of the Dublin Royal Convention Centre spans almost 705 square metres to facilitate 800 delegates theatre style or up to 550 banquet style, and has pre-conference space for serving refreshments, lunches and pre-dinner drinks.
The suite can be divided into two separate suites and has been purposely designed with large scale conferences, exhibitions & events in mind.
The Higgins and Robinson Suites are available on the upper ground floor of the Dublin Royal Convention Centre, again each with break-out space and modern decor.
Privileged Access
The complex now offers 20 meeting spaces across the Radisson Blu Royal, Hotel and Dublin Royal Convention Centre, as well as outdoor, open-air event space.
Guests and delegates to Dublin Royal Convention Centre will have special access to accommodation with 234 bedrooms available at Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Dublin as well as accessing the existing hotel meeting spaces which, added to the new convention centre capacity, brings the total meeting space across the two properties to almost 2,020 square metres.
