Capacity 130 – Seated Dinner 200 – Standing Cocktail Party “ The Canadian Fairtrade Awards held their annual reception in the ballroom of the Gladstone Hotel for the first time. It was an extraordinary experience and the staff made this could-be-stressful event very EASY and enjoyable! They were accommodating, pleasant, helpful, and so nice to us - a special menu, a poster in the entrance door of the hotel, a stand up poster in the hallway, helping us move our luggage and boxes out of the room before the guests arrived and helping us move them back in to our van the next day... towels for the flowers... a special table for the Awards... our demanding list was never ending and the Gladstone staff responded every time and with a smile. Wow. I have never had such a good event experience before and I cannot recommend them enough if you’re searching for an event venue.” — Lisa Zutner / Canadian Fairtrade Awards

80 – Seated 120 – Standing “Dealing with the hotel couldn’t have been a more pleasant experience, from booking rooms, sorting out check-ins and payments with Nettie and Hayley, to the whole events side of our three day Global Conference with Andrew, Christian and the team. The entire team at the Gladstone went above and beyond for us the entire time we were with them, and the smooth running of the conference was down to them and their can do, positive attitude to everything that was asked of them, no matter how big or small!” Caoimhe Howard / Sailor Jerry
