Berns means business: Stylish event space in the Swedish capital for 12 to 1,200 delegates

March 7, 2012 - PRLog -- Named ‘Sweden’s Leading Boutique Hotel’ in the 2011 World Travel Awards, this iconic hotel offers delegates state-of-the art business facilities in the heart of the Swedish capital. As well as 82 stylishly-decorated bedrooms, Berns offers a great choice of meeting space, which can be easily adapted to suit groups of anywhere from 12 to 1,200 people. Planning a small corporate dinner? The magnificent Baroque ‘Red Room’ – with its impressive décor – would be ideal. After a location that’s perfect for a stylish product launch? Book the underground Berns Gallery 2.35:1, complete with smart bar and wall-mounted screens. For lectures and large-group presentations, why not try the grand China Theatre, a superb meeting space with a fascinating history? Whatever the event or occasion, business clients at Berns can be assured of superb service in smartly-furnished rooms that are fully-equipped with high-speed broadband, video-conferencing and audio-visual technology.

With a flight time of just two and a half hours from London, on a popular route served by several low-cost airlines, travelling to Stockholm on business is both fast and economical. On landing at the city’s ultra-modern international airport, simply hop in a taxi or take the super-comfortable, high-speed Arlanda Express train which will whisk visitors effortlessly into the city centre in 15 minutes – just long enough to catch up on a few emails before arrival.

As well as superb transport connections and world-class business facilities, anyone with their finger on the pulse will tell you that Stockholm is a hot destination right now, thanks in no small part to the continuing popularity of Scandinavian design, fashion, food and literature. Lonely Planet magazine concurs, ranking the Swedish capital among its ‘Top Ten Cities for 2012’ and describing it as ‘cosy yet cosmopolitan, wilfully alternative and effortlessly picturesque’. Enjoy everything that Stockholm has to offer from Berns Hotel, located right at the very heart of the city – just a short stroll from the waterfront, the main restaurant area and Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s charming ‘old town’.

The hotel is perfectly placed for business travellers in need of a break from the boardroom. Enjoy a walk to the city’s ‘garden island’, ‘Djurgarden’, in-between seminars, or indulge in a spot of retail therapy in the neighbouring shopping streets. For groups wishing to explore Stockholm in more detail, the hotel can arrange privately-guided city tours (including themed walks for fans of ABBA or Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy), hot air ballooning trips, and cruises around the stunning islands of the archipelago.

At the end of a productive day, Berns also offers its guests an enticing range of after-hours entertainment. There are two acclaimed restaurants on-site: Bistro Berns, which offers simple, French-inspired food in a relaxed atmosphere, or Berns Asiatiska, serving a delicious Far-East inspired menu amid some of the most opulent surroundings of any restaurant in Stockholm, complete with ornately-carved balconies, red velvet banquettes and glittering chandeliers. Should colleagues want to let their hair down, they can enjoy live music in Berns’ grand concert hall, sip cocktails in the Terrace Bar, overlooking pretty Berzelii Park, or dance the night away in the hotel’s own exclusive nightclub, 2.35:1 – entrance to which is one of Stockholm’s hottest tickets in town.
