Booked individually the cloud-inspired rooms are ideal for up to 50 guests dependent on the layout, while double rooms or whole floor booking allow for larger gatherings of up to 130 guests. Each rooms offer multiple screens, lapel mics and docking stations, as well as an on-site engineer on hand to ensure presentations go smoothly.
