Prague's venue landscape is remarkably diverse Catering to every scale and tone of event. For grand formal events and substantial assemblies, the Prague Congress Centre presents technologically advanced halls with wide city views. On its own island in the Vltava, the neo-Renaissance Zofin Palace gives an unforgettable environment for hospitality and banquets. For more private executive meetings or sensitive strategy conversations, the Mandarin Oriental and the Four Seasons Hotel supply intimate rooms with discreet, customised service. Each of the spaces is equipped with modern communication facilities while preserving a sense of the past.
For a genuinely exceptional occasion, you should think about using Prague Castle which is the largest surviving castle complex anywhere as a venue for private banquets in its ancient rooms. Or the National Museum, with its impressive entrance hall and its magnificent dome, is an ideal location for product launches. The Municipal House, a building that is a major achievement of the Art Nouveau style, gives its guests highly decorated ballrooms and the famous Smetana Hall, which is ideal for those who want to follow business with a concert of classical music. Every one of these sites requires an early reservation and also a close working relationship with the event team at the venue. They are well used to handling the requirements of executives from abroad.
The city's food scene has now achieved the high level that is recognised by the Michelin guide. Corporate event catering is now of a quality that is the equal of the best that the city has to offer. La Degustation Boheme Bourgeoise and Field both Michelin-starred offer off-site catering and private dining experiences. They offer contemporary Czech dining, with ingredients that are regionally produced and are in season. For receptions that are on a larger scale, the Zatisi Group and Ambiente can supply complete catering packages. Their services include everything from light starters to full dinners with several courses. With sommeliers to guide wine pairings from Moravian and international vineyards.
As well as conventional dining, you could consider more interactive food and drink experiences. A personal cookery demonstration with a leading figure in the culinary world. A tasting session featuring Czech beers from small producers or single-malt whiskies. Or a guided visit to a distillery that is located in the local area. These are activities that help to create contacts and to build a sense of common purpose, in a setting that is both comfortable and elegant. For the intervals when coffee is served, the city's famous cafe culture means that there will be very good pastries and coffee that has been roasted by an artisan producer. This raises the standard of even the most simple refreshment.
Prague's cultural and historical riches provide many different possibilities for corporate entertainment. For those who appreciate classical music, a private concert at either the Rudolfinum or the National Theatre, together with a champagne reception, will create an evening that is not forgotten.
