Have you ever looked out over a breathtaking vista, with the sun glinting off a sapphire lake and snow-capped mountains rising majestically in the background? Right here, in front of us, stands the ICON Conference Centre, a testament to the stunning natural beauty and architectural finesse of Queenstown.
Built in 2007-2008, the ICON Conference Centre is a haven for business meetings, conferences, and special events. Imagine yourself, standing on the terrace, a glass of New Zealand’s finest wine in hand, gazing out toward Lake Wakatipu, while the Remarkables, Cecil Peak, and Walter and Cecil Peaks create a magnificent panorama before your eyes. It’s a truly awe-inspiring experience.
This two-story building was designed and constructed by the award-winning architecture firm Warren and Mahoney. They incorporated the use of natural materials, such as schist stone, cedar shiplap, and walnut paneling, to create a warm and elegant interior. The ICON also features a fully equipped commercial kitchen, perfect for catering to any culinary need.
The center is known for its versatility. The conference room can accommodate 200 people seated theatre style and 160 people banquet style. It truly caters to every need. The ICON Conference Centre comes complete with the latest technology, allowing for everything from high-speed broadband to video conferencing and live TV streaming. You’ll be amazed at the sheer amount of choices and flexibility available.
Besides the main conference room, there is also a pre-function area that can accommodate a car display for car launches and provides additional break-out space. If you ever get tired of the breathtaking lake views, you can always retreat to the hotel, which is seamlessly connected to the ICON Conference Centre.
The ICON Conference Centre is a masterpiece of modern architecture seamlessly blended with nature. It is truly a gem of Queenstown.
