Offering Flexible Meeting and Event Space
NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA - May 21, 2010 - Bert Seneca, general manager of The Beverly Garland Holiday Inn in North Hollywood, is pleased to announce the much-anticipated debut of the newly redesigned Garland Center. The conference center renovation is just part of a series of amazing upgrades and transformations that have taken place at the property over the course of the last year.
Set in a serene Spanish-influenced mission-styled hotel amidst all the glamour and excitement of Hollywood, the Beverly Garland features over 12,000 square feet of event space, including a Grand Ballroom, which can accommodate up to 650 guests. An additional 2,500 square feet of beautifully landscaped outdoor space lends itself to flexible indoor and outdoor functions. The hotel has long been a popular venue for meetings and events and with the recent redesign and upgrades to the property's nine distinctive meeting rooms, it is bound to reclaim it's position as the favorite venue for executive meetings, conferences, banquets, special events and weddings. The most recent changes took place within the Garland Center, which is comprised of six separate meeting spaces, including the Beverly Garland Theater. A unique space, the 132 seat theater is a state-of-the-art facility. Perfect for film festivals, symposiums and continuing education seminars it features plushy chairs with retractable desks.
All of the meeting rooms in the Garland Center have been outfitted with state-of-the-art technology, new carpeting, lighting and other cosmetic touches, all designed to provide a contemporary and versatile backdrop to which hosts and meeting planners can add their own unique touches. The new space coupled with the Beverly Garland's attentive catering team's meticulous attention to detail will ensure an unforgettable event.
The Father Serra Room, which seats 120 for a banquet, debuts a new modern look which will delight any event planner or bride-to-be with its warm creamy hues and spectacular details. Each of the four spaces in the Garland Center can accommodate up to 100 people separately. The Center when combined with the hotel's larger ballroom, which was renovated earlier in the year, offer more than 12,000 square feet of flexible meeting space perfect for an event of any size.
The Beverly Garland was built in 1972 by Fillmore Crank for his wife, well-known Hollywood actress Beverly Garland.
