In my opinion, the most important thing when choosing a hotel for an international conference is the meeting room or' rooms.

在我看来，选择酒店参加国际会议最重要的是会议室。

For example, you may need a large room where everyone can be together for keynote speeches or presentations and smaller meeting rooms for informal group discussions.

例如，你可能需要一个大房间，每个人都可以在一起做主题演讲或展示，小会议室则可以进行非正式的小组讨论。

Then,if people are coming from different countries, you need to find out about rooms for them to stay in.

然后，如果人们来自不同的国家，你需要为他们找到住的房间。

They should be spacious and comfortable, and have facilities for using e-mail and laptops, as people have to keep in touch with their offices or headquarter seven when they're away.

它们应该宽敞舒适，并有使用电子邮件和笔记本电脑的设施，因为人们不在时必须与他们的办公室或总部保持联系。

My next point is facilities for hotel guests-things like a bar, a good quality restaurant, preferably offering local food, and fitness and sports centres.

我的下一个观点是酒店客人的设施—一像酒吧，一个好的餐厅，最好提供当地的食物，还有健身和体育中心。

These are important because delegates need to be able to relax after a long day of meetings and get to know each other in informal situations.

这些都很重要，因为代表们需要在漫长的一天会议之后能够放松，并在非正式场合相互了解。

Finally,for an international conference where delegates are coming from different countries, it can be very useful to choose a hotel that has good transport connections with the nearest airport and/or places of interest.

最后，对于一个来自不同国家的代表参加的国际会议，选择一家离最近的机场和/或名胜古迹交通方便的酒店是非常有用的。

This can save everybody a lot of time.

这可以为每个人节省很多时间。
