The Hilton Nay Pyi Taw offers eight function spaces for MICE purposes, including the 458 square- meter Grand Ballroom that can accommodate up to 500 people and equipped with a large state- of-the-art  video  wall.  The  spectacular  and  expansive  110-acre  hotel  grounds  offer  versatile options for various breakout and team building sessions. A business centre is also available for convenience while the Executive lounge offers a space to rewind and relax or connect with other travelers over complimentary refreshments and canapés.
The hotel also offers Hilton’s  Meet with Purpose  program,  incorporating  health, wellness  and waste  reduction  into  meetings  and  events.  Balanced  and  nutritious  meals,  refreshing  and invigorating activities and a smaller carbon footprint to help today’s meeting planners organize mindful and purposeful meetings.
All Hilton hotels in Myanmar are participating in an upcoming regional MICE promotion – Earn 3X Rewards, offering meeting planners triple Hilton Honors event bonus points for all new events contracted before March 31, 2018, and actualized before December 31, 2018.
