GRAND HOTEL RIMINI

B.T.C. - THE MEETING INDUSTRY TRADE SHOW
Rimini Exhibition Centre – June 30th - July 1st, 2011

The new edition of the BTC, the worldwide famous appointment for the congress and meeting organizers, will be held at the Rimini Exhibition Centre. The organizers’ choice could not be a better one. In fact, Rimini boasts an excellent hospitality system, a wide range of services and a great variety in locations: the sea with the beautiful beaches of golden sand, the surrounding hills with the famous fortified medieval towns, the old town full of monuments and historical buildings, some of them dating back to the Romans! Several are also the meeting points for all ages, such as the “Cantinette” typical bars in the city centre, or the beach bars by the sea, the excellent restaurants and the several discos, the “queens” of the nights on the Riviera. In a town that is “alive” all year long, major cultural events are also organized. Just think of the huge success obtained by the international exhibition “The enchantment of panting - from Gauguin to Picasso” which is just ended.

2010 EDITION - Rimini Exhibition Centre – July 1st -2nd, 2010

Rimini would not be Rimini without its Grand Hotel! Object of desire of the young Federico Fellini – who used to peep through the bushes around the hotel to see the fantastic life of the rich and who, much later,  made it the protagonist of his famous film “Amarcord” in 1973 – the Grand Hotel Rimini is the historic five star deluxe hotel symbol of the town of Rimini, which has finally gone back to its ancient splendor thanks to major renovation works started in 2008. The “new” Grand Hotel Rimini with its magnificent Liberty façade is ready to welcome the many BTC buyers, exhibitors and visitors and to surprise them with a series of important innovations. Amongst them, the brand new rooms and the wellness centre inside the hotel, inspired by Fellini’s works. The several five star services offered by the Grand Hotel Rimini and its unparalleled historic charm, make it the ideal location for a holiday or a business stay, but also for the organization of a company event, from the top meeting to the major convention as the Grand Hotel Rimini’s Conference Centre can hold up to 650 delegates. Banqueting plays also a very important role. With great mastery, our Chef Claudio Di Bernardo is capable of meeting the requirements of large and small groups. From the rich breakfast to the coffee-break, from the business lunch to the cocktail, from the aperitif to the gala dinner, also with musical entertainment, in the magnificent reception rooms or on the romantic terrace by the pool or in the vast garden with centenary trees, everything becomes a unique experience in the refined atmosphere of the Grand Hotel Rimini. The large private beach of golden sand offers different and amusing opportunities. It is the ideal place for team building activities and group training all year long, whilst in May, June and September top meetings or  gala dinners “feet in the sand” are very often organized.
