Friday, 14 November 2026 (Suva, Fiji): Grand Pacific Hotel Suva has been named Fiji’s Best MICE Hotel 2026 at the World MICE Awards, recognising the property’s contribution to the meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions sector and its role as one of Fiji’s leading business events destinations in Fiji’s capital, Suva.
Located in the heart of Suva, Grand Pacific Hotel Suva offers a range of meeting and event spaces, complemented by accommodation, dining and support services designed to cater for events of varying sizes and requirements. The property has long been recognised as a landmark venue for significant business, government and social events in Fiji.
Grand Pacific Hotel Suva has established itself as one of Fiji’s premier venues for business events, regularly welcoming diplomatic delegations, government meetings, regional forums, corporate conferences and industry gatherings. Its central Suva location, extensive event facilities and experienced events team have made the property a preferred choice for organisations conducting business in Fiji and across the Pacific.
The award comes during a year of sustained growth for the hotel’s events business. Following 338 successful events hosted in 2025, Grand Pacific Hotel Suva has delivered 405 events to date in 2026, representing an increase of approximately 20 per cent. The result reflects continued demand from local, regional and international organisers who choose the hotel for conferences, corporate meetings, government events, gala dinners and industry gatherings.
“Being named Fiji’s Best MICE Hotel is a significant achievement for Grand Pacific Hotel Suva and a testament to the professionalism, commitment and consistency of our team. The growth we have seen in our events business over the past year demonstrates the confidence that organisers have in our ability to deliver successful experiences, whether for major conferences, corporate meetings or landmark celebrations. We are proud to represent Fiji on the international stage and grateful to our clients, partners and stakeholders for their continued support.” said Lachlan Walker, Regional General Manager, Fiji and Pacific, IHG Hotels & Resorts
The recognition also coincides with individual success for the hotel’s commercial team. Doreen Houn, Director of Sales & Marketing for Grand Pacific Hotel Suva and Holiday Inn Suva, was highly commended in the Sales Associate category for the Pacific at the 2026 HM Awards Aotearoa-Pacific, recognising her contribution to business growth and industry partnerships across the region.
“As Fiji’s most historic hotel, we are privileged to host a diverse range of events, from diplomatic meetings and government engagements to major conferences and corporate functions. This award recognises the confidence that clients continue to place in our team and our facilities, and our commitment to delivering exceptional experiences for every event we host. It also reflects the strength of our commercial team and the relationships they have built with clients and partners across Fiji and the Pacific” commented Robert Clark, General Manager, Grand Pacific Hotel Suva
