Adi Sumarmo International Airport in Solo is getting busier by the day, with more and more airlines opening routes to this city known as "The Soul of Java." This increased passenger traffic to Solo includes not only travelers going to this city of culture for tourism, but also many people traveling on business.
At one four-star hotel in Solo, The Sunan Hotel, for example, 60% of the guests are business travelers who come for MICE (Meeting, Incentive, Conference, and Exhibition) purposes. Nearly every day, the venues in the hotel are used for MICE activities. Vocal concerts and product launches are also regularly held at the hotel. This coming October, the hotel, previously named The Quality Hotel, will be both the venue and the accommodation for the World Heritage Cities conference.
To anticipate the steady increase in business activity in Solo, The Sunan Hotel has equipped itself with a range of support facilities. The most important is the Soemarjo Grand Ballroom, the largest in Solo, with an area of 1296 square meters and able to accommodate 2800 persons for a cocktail party or 2200 in theater style. This ballroom can also be divided into three smaller ballrooms, with capacity of 300 to 900 persons in theater style. For smaller meetings, the hotel offers the Triwindu Meeting Room, Kono Room, Executive Meeting Room, and the Nurhadi Private Dining Room.
Since arranging concerts or exhibitions entails obtaining permits and other matters that can consume a lot of time and energy, The Sunan Hotel provides a team that can help speed up these various administrative processes.
This 127-room hotel doesn't neglect leisure and entertainment facilities, either; it would be fair to say it has the most complete facilities in Solo. Apart from the Embassy Wine Lounge, Airu Sushi Japanese Resto, Rice Crispy Dining and Royal Espresso & Tea Lounge, it also has a Pool Snack Bar, Fitness Center & Spa Gallery, Music Room nightclub, Hair & Beauty Salon, and a drugstore. Wireless internet access is provided in the lobby, the meeting rooms, and in the rooms on the fourth and sixth floors.
