Bvlgari at Bvlgari Hotel Beijing — Bvlgari Avrora Awards 2019 (2019)

Bvlgari Hotel Beijing hosted the 2019 Bvlgari Avrora Awards, a forum and dinner recognising Chinese women in film, arts, design and sport.

The venue

Bvlgari Hotel Beijing is a city hotel in Beijing's Liangmaqiao embassy district, set beside the Liangma River. Its event areas include a forum-ready meeting room, a ballroom or dining space, and hospitality suites. The hotel is normally used for business meetings, weddings, private dinners and international visitor stays. For this record, the exact room names and capacities are not verified.

How the space was used

For the 2019 Bvlgari Avrora Awards, the hotel hosted a daytime forum and an evening dinner. The forum brought Bvlgari CEO Jean-Christophe Babin and Vogue China editor-in-chief Angelica Cheung together with guests to discuss Chinese women's influence. The evening programme moved into a dining setting for a menu by Niko Romito, modern dance and opera performances, with 150 guests.

Why it works here

A hotel gives a brand event a controlled sequence of forum, reception and dinner without sending guests between buildings. The setting suits an awards programme that mixes discussion with performance and hospitality, and it keeps the event within one address for invited guests and press.
