At the prestigious Dor\u0107ol location, on the very site of the first Serbian chocolate factory, today stands Mona Plaza \u2013 a modern congress center that is increasingly taking a leading position on the regional MICE map. With more than 2,000 m\u00b2 of space, eight conference rooms with natural daylight, and a plenary hall with a capacity of up to 380 participants, Mona Plaza has become synonymous with professionally managed events that leave a lasting impression.

\n

\"\"One of the hotel\u2019s key advantages is its multifunctionality. The congress area is spread across three levels \u2013 from a spacious banquet hall on the ground floor, to conference rooms on the first and second floors, which, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, provide abundant natural light and a pleasant working environment. An additional benefit is more than 700 m\u00b2 of exhibition space, as well as a restaurant with a capacity of up to 230 guests, making it possible to combine both business and social segments of events within one venue.

\n

\u201cOur goal is to provide full support to organizers \u2013 from state-of-the-art technical equipment and high-speed internet connection, to a professional and dedicated team that takes care of every detail. Mona Plaza is not just a venue for events, but a true partner in their realization,\u201d explains Margareta Dimitrijevi\u0107, Director of Sales at Mona Plaza.

\n

\"\"In recent years, the hotel has hosted a wide variety of events \u2013 from international conferences and congresses, to workshops and training sessions, as well as gala dinners and cocktail receptions. Thanks to its central Belgrade location, guests not only enjoy a flawlessly organized event, but also experience the spirit of old Dor\u0107ol, where tradition and modern design meet.

\n

\u201cWe are seeing a growing demand for hybrid events that combine live attendance with online participation. That is why we are continuously investing in new technology and digital solutions. At the same time, we strive to ensure that every event is sustainable and environmentally responsible, which means seasonal menus, the use of local resources, and reducing waste,\u201d adds Dimitrijevi\u0107.

\n

\"\"What truly sets Mona Plaza apart is its atmosphere. The history of the location, industrial charm, and the story of chocolate create an ambiance that inspires. It is no surprise, therefore, that an increasing number of companies and organizations choose this hotel as their partner for unforgettable events.

\n

The conference hall is intended for the formal part of business events. Equipped with modern technology and comfortable seating (up to 120 chairs), the hall provides the perfect setting for conferences, seminars, workshops, sales presentations or meetings.

\n

\"\"

\n

The air-conditioned space provides an ideal temperature regardless of the weather conditions. Large windows allow for plenty of natural light, creating an inspiring environment for productive work.

In addition to technical equipment for presentations (2 projectors, audio system), we also ensure top-notch service in order to provide your guests with the best experience.

\n

In case of need (if the number of people is small), the hall can be partitioned with movable walls. Next to the conference hall, on the same floor, there is a Plaza Bar where your guests can relax, take a break during the event break, enjoy Vhun coffee and refreshing drinks with a view of U\u0161\u0107e, Kalemegdan, Belgrade Waterfront and Gardo\u0161.

\n

Event Space – We create memories together

\n

\"\"Event Space represents an environment intended for informal gatherings, cocktail lunches or dinners and celebrations of various types. The hall is adaptable for different event formats and can be arranged according to the needs of the organizers. The size of the hall is 160 m2, and the capacity is from 30 to 140 persons. The hall is air-conditioned and independent of weather conditions. It also has a modern audio system as well as a large television that can be used if necessary.

\n

A team of experienced professionals

\n

What sets Plaza Bar apart is the dedication to detail and close cooperation with clients, from initial concept to realization. Our team carefully plans the event together with you, we agree on the schedule, the agenda, even the decorative details.

\n

Responsibility, honest relationship and professionalism are the standards we apply in our work. We perceive each event as a unique project and adapt to its needs.

\n

All in one place\"\"

\n

\n

An event to remember

\n

So far, we have hosted the largest companies in the region, and the guests’ impression has always been more than positive.

\n

The most important thing for us is that the quality of service is at the highest level, that every detail we agree on is respected and that we establish long-term cooperation with our clients.

Built in 1890 the completely reconstructed 18-room heritage boutique hotel Sunrose 7 re-opens for 2020!

\n

By the opening of the railroad tunnel in 1906, the Sunrose 7 became the most distinguished lodging in the area. Attracting high-profile visitors from around the region, its prestigious guest list includes members of the Empire\u2019s Royal Family, along with a multitude of societal VIP\u2019s.

\n

\"\"Sunrose 7 combines 130-year-old tradition and heritage with contemporary design. Hotel revolves around the Digital Detox concept. There are no TVs, multimedia or other consumer electronic devices. Instead, a library, pleasant ambient with views of the garden, the protected chestnut grove and the river please the guests along with the Julian Alps and Triglav National Park right on the doorstep.

\n

Project manager, Mr. Anze Cokl: \u201cOnce called a sleepy corner of Slovenia, Bohinj has been developing quite rapidly in the last couple of years. And to our advantage, this \u201csleepy\u201d past had left this alpine pearl vastly intact. Ongoing sustainable projects, splendid nature and boutique-ness make it different, calming and therefore has great potential!\u201d

\n

The number 7 represents the story of our beautiful alpine pearl – from Bohinjska Bistrica to wildflower botanical garden at \u010crna Prst mountain, where Sunrose flower is blooming. Taking on the ridge and 7 main summits along the way and onwards to the valley of the 7 Triglav lakes. The path to the summit of the highest Slovenian peak called Mt. Triglav is open. After day(s) of discovering and experiencing\u00a0 Bohinj from above, rest your feet at Restaurant Kavarna pod kostanji on the hotel’s address: \u201cTriglavska 7 street\u201d, where you can chill in an adults-only zone of peace and serenity.

\n

\"\"18 designer rooms in the Austro-Hungarian villa are furnished with local spruce and oak wood, have floor and wall heating and individual air conditioning. Bathrooms have certified organic toiletries and eco friendly cotton bathrobes and towels.

\n

Famous Savica waterfall inspired the designers to install the unique showering experience in the suite. It is the only such shower in Slovenia and offers a multisensory water experience, like a personal spa, making you feel like under a waterfall.

\n

Lobby consists of a pleasant open space great for socialising, drinks and co-working. A small library corner, fireplace seating area and cosy ambient draws guests to enjoy all day long. Restaurant pleases with views through 4 meter top-bottom glazing with views of a 1000m2 garden with home-grown herbs and even a hotel for bugs. Hand-made brass chandeliers hanging from the 6 m ceiling round off the interior of the ground floor.

\n

Basement is home to Wine cellar with top quality Slovenian and international wines along with a separate brandy corner.

\n

\"\"In the shade of nearly 120 year-old chestnut trees the heart of the historic building takes place: traditional Caf\u00e9 & Lounge Kavarna pod kostanji indulges guests with great coffee, local beverages and snacks – all made and served with love.

\n

Guests can pamper in the exclusive wellness including infinity pool, steam, Finnish and IR- saunas as well as a Aquapark & Wellness Bohinj nearby.

\n

Sunrose 7 Boutique Hotel from Slovenia has already been awarded the international sustainability certificate Travelife, and additionally to that, just recently, the Slovenia Green Accommodation award.

\n

Sunrose 7 has an ongoing commitment to minimise its environmental impact through actions carried out every day: the garden and plants are watered with rainwater, highly energy efficient heat pumps are used to warm up and cool down the Hotel, and both fireplace stoves harness the heat via heat exchanger and deliver the energy throughout the Hotel. All hotel ceramics are composed of a few essential elements such as earth, fire and water. The finished product required -30% less energy, -80% water and -30% of CO2 emissions compared to regular ceramics.

What are the benefits of working for an international hotel brand and destination itself, in which way the destination is promoted and what are the biggest challenges in the congress business?

\n

The answers to these and other questions gave us Mr. Robert Stojko, General Manager of the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel Banja Luka.

\n
\"\"
Mr Robert Stojko
\n

Courayard Hotel Banja Luka is the first branded hotel opened in this city. What do You consider to be its main advantage over other urban hotels?

\n

Courtyard by Marriott Hotel Banja Luka is the first and only branded hotel in the city and is part of the world-renowned Marriott International Hotel Group, which has the largest portfolio in the hotel industry, over 30 brands and more than 7,000 hotels in 131 countries. This means that Courtyard by Marriott Banja Luka operates according to the defined standards and procedures, which guarantees our guests will have the same experience as any guest, in any city in the world, where there is a Courtyard hotel.

\n

The brand itself is a major advantage over other hotels in the urban environment, because it brings us visibility and presence of the hotel in a far larger number of markets through the Marriott reservation system and BonVoy loyalty program, as well as marketing done globally for Marriott hotels. Through this, we aim to become trendsetters in the city and a place for people who see themselves as business oriented and successful.

\n

\"\"

\n

Can You tell us more about congress facilities and how important is congress business for hotel?

\n

The hotel has 340 sq. of conference space, modern equipped and adapted to the business world. We have multifunctional and dividable conference rooms with seating capacity from 10 to 160 and for cocktails up to 200 guests. The conference room at the gallery has daylight and is ideal for smaller events, as well as for conferences. There is also a special, state-of-the-art Boardroom, for business meetings, with 10 seats.

\n

The congress business is one of the most important parts of the hotel business. This segment of the hotel business brings increased interest and promotion not only for the hotel as a potential venue for the congress, but also for the destination itself, and as such, is very important for both our hotel and the hotel industry in general. Organizing a congress is a challenge because, in most cases, it involves all hotel facilities \u2013 not only providing the conference room, but it is necessary to provide accommodation and other accompanying services, from coffee breaks to meals at the hotel for all participants.

\n

The hotel has a lot of guests during the congress, and it has a great opportunity to provide a unique experience through the excellent service it offers to its guests. This is something that guests will take with them and they will become the ambassadors of the hotel, when they share it with their business partners, associates, friends, encouraging them to become customers of the hotel services.

\n

\"\"

\n

Which additional amenities are available for business guests?

\n

Business guests have at their disposal a Business Centre with computers and a printer so they can perform their routine office tasks at any time, when they are not in their office. Also, there is a multifunctional space of the hotel, where they are able to access the power outlets and built-in chargers for their appliances. Without having to interrupt their daily routine, they have the opportunity to enjoy the gastronomic offer of Maestro Kitchen&Bar restaurant \u2013 an outdoor space for short business meetings or for relaxing after a work day. All hotel guests have access to a modern, well-equipped fitness centre. We are currently working on equipping the multifunctional Sky bar on the 11th floor of the hotel, where we will offer hotel guests and visitors a place where they can organize their events or enjoy the beautiful Banja Luka view.

\n

Knowing and understanding the local market is key to success of international hotel chains. How often do You think international chains do not realize its importance?

\n

Each hotel, whether a part of an international hotel chain or an independent hotel, requires knowledge and understanding of the local market. I don\u2019t think that the international chains and their hotels do not understand the importance of this \u2013 they all strive to get to know and understand the local market as much as possible and to support it through various activities and promotions. International chains and their hotels are also working on promoting the local market and destination, to offer guests the full experience during their journey.

\n

\"\"

\n

On the other hand, international chains and their hotels face difficulties in adapting to the local market and its specific expectations, not because of unfamiliarity and misunderstanding of the local market, but because of the need to maintain the brand identity that is characteristic for each hotel. In addition to working to promote the brand, its values \u200b\u200band its standards in the local market, it is necessary to find a balance between brand identity and the local market, taking into account that the international guest expects to receive the same quality of service that is expected from a branded hotel, regardless of destination. It\u2019s a difficult task for every hotel, but it is one of the measures of a hotel’s success and therefore it is of great importance to integrate the hotel and become a part of the local community.

\n

In what way the brand You work for affects the positioning of Banja Luka on the tourist map of our region?

\n

Courtyard by Marriott Banja Luka, being part of a large Marriott family, has gained its place on the world map of the hotel industry and has become a part of the international tourist offer. So, with the opening of the hotel, the city of Banja Luka found itself on this same map. Guests will be in a modern and cosy hotel with comfortable rooms, with great gastronomic offer and high level service.

\n

\"\"

\n

Marriott BonVoy Loyalty Program, which is the largest loyalty program in the world, also makes a huge contribution in positioning of our hotel, and Banja Luka, on the tourist map of the region. Members of the program have the opportunity to gain a variety of benefits through their stay at Marriott hotels, including free travel and stay, which many members use to visit and explore destinations that were not necessarily attractive to them, among other things, because there were no hotels where they could stay. This is a huge potential for us and the city of Banja Luka.
