5 Best Hotels for Conferences in Tonga

Where to Host Your Corporate Event, Function or Conference in Tonga

Give your delegates an event they’ll never forget with a seminar, workshop, business meeting or conference in Tonga. Unsurprisingly, most of Tonga’s conference venues can be found in the capital Nuku’alofa, while the odd venue also lies in the hotspot island group of Vava’u. Either way, there are conference venues to suit a range of vibes and needs, from guesthouses with gorgeous gardens and decadent catering suitable for a team-binding retreat to an international hotel for more elaborate affairs.

Those wishing to hold conferences or seminars on the outer islands of Ha’apai and ‘Eua are best to arrange a local community hall but are likely to have to organise their own audio-visual equipment. Nevertheless, for the event venues that offer a more streamlined process, check out this list of the best hotels for conferences in Tonga.

1. Tanoa International Dateline Hotel (Tongatapu)

Tonga’s largest hotel with more than 950 square metres of indoor and outdoor venues is undoubtedly one of the top contenders for a memorable conference venue in Tonga. Ideally and conveniently located on the waterfront of Nuku’alofa, just a short walk from the CBD, Tanoa International Dateline Hotel boasts four conference rooms, as well as an attractive lobby and “Festival Lawn” with a marquee set-up. There’s something for all group sizes, as well as the space to house delegates in the hotel’s 120 contemporary rooms. Learn more about the accommodation in the 25 Best Hotels in Tonga.
