The Gallery

Ground floor · Room and covered patio

The Gallery keeps a seated reception, conference or community occasion on one ground-floor level, with a kitchen and bar adjoining the room. Glass doors connect the floor to a covered patio for ceremonies, arrivals and breaks. Croatian House coordinates the space, catering, bar and staff as one booking, while an 80-square-metre dancefloor remains part of the room.

Inside and out

One ground-floor booking carries an event from arrival on the patio to the program inside.

By day, The Gallery takes conferences, training days, expos and long lunches. Breaks can move to the covered patio while the kitchen serves the room from the same floor.

By night, the space can be planned for seated dining, standing celebrations and dancing. Croatian House coordinates the room, patio, menu, bar and staff under the same booking.
