The Parnell Room

Ideal for smaller meetings, presentations, interviews, workshops and management or strategy sessions, the Parnell Room offers a comfortable and private setting within the hotel.

It is particularly suited to businesses looking for a professional meeting space in Waterford City without the scale or formality of a large conference venue.

The Parnell Room can work particularly well for:

  • Management and board meetings
  • Strategy and planning days
  • Training sessions
  • Interviews and recruitment days
  • Presentations and workshops
  • Private business lunches
  • Overnight management and team meetings

Our team can arrange refreshments, working lunches, dinner and accommodation around your meeting, creating a complete programme rather than simply providing a room.

The Trinity Suite

For larger meetings, conferences, seminars and corporate events, the Trinity Suite provides a flexible space that can be configured to suit a variety of requirements.

Suitable for events of up to approximately 150 delegates, depending on the required layout, the Trinity Suite offers the flexibility needed for conferences, company meetings, training events, presentations and larger gatherings.

We can work with you on room layout, timings, refreshments, catering, audio-visual requirements and accommodation, giving you one point of contact throughout the planning process.

Meetings with Everything Under One Roof

Sometimes the best meetings happen when there is time to continue the conversation beyond the meeting room.

As a full-service four-star hotel, the Granville can combine your meeting or conference with:

Accommodation
Stay overnight in the heart of Waterford, ideal for multi-day conferences, management meetings and delegates travelling longer distances.

Breakfast, Lunch & Refreshments
From tea, coffee and pastries on arrival to working lunches and conference catering, our team can build refreshments around your schedule.

Dinner
Continue the conversation over dinner in the Bianconi Restaurant or speak to us about private dining options for your group.

Informal Meetings
Our Thomas Francis Meagher Bar provides a relaxed setting for delegates to meet before or after the main event.

This allows organisers to keep the entire event in one location and gives delegates more opportunities to connect.

A Waterford City-Centre Location

Location is one of the Granville Hotel's greatest advantages.

Situated on Meagher's Quay in the heart of Waterford City, the hotel is within easy reach of the city's business districts, shops and attractions and provides a convenient meeting point for delegates travelling from across Waterford and the South East.

Waterford Train Station is within walking distance, while the hotel's central location makes it easy for delegates to combine their meeting with accommodation, dinner or time in the city.

Discounted car parking is also available nearby for meeting and conference delegates, making arrival easier for those travelling by car.

A Personal Approach to Your Event

At the Granville Hotel, meetings and conferences are not treated as simply another room booking.

From your initial enquiry, our team will take the time to understand what you are trying to achieve, how your day needs to flow and what will make the experience easier for both the organizer and your delegates.

We can help coordinate everything from arrival refreshments and room setup to lunch, dinner, accommodation and delegate requirements.

It is a more personal approach to meetings – backed by an experienced hotel team who are here throughout your event.

Tell us what you are planning and we will help you build the day around your requirements.

From the room and layout to catering, accommodation and delegate arrangements, you will have a team on hand to make organizing your meeting straightforward.

Call 051 305555 or email events@granvillehotel.ie to discuss your next meeting, conference or corporate event.
