Madrid is a city which offers all the needs any international congress may require:
|
Once we had the support of all these government institutions and with the National Music Auditorium as host for the congress, with four halls having a capacity of 2,360, 700, 220 and 200 people respectively, we thought about solving the problem of distances and trips in a city of more than 5,000,000 inhabitants. The Hotel Auditorium of Madrid is the solution: a 4-star hotel, opposite the airport, with 869 rooms, an auditorium with a capacity for 2,400 people, 60 meeting rooms of which 31 are suitable for group rehearsals, master classes, etc. There will even be a reception desk exclusively devoted to congress participants. This wonderful hotel also endorses our candidacy. Besides, the transfer from the hotel to the Auditorium takes only 15 minutes, as they are in the same area of the city.
