Bakkara for conferences and business events on Venetian Island
- WRITTEN
- UPDATED
Bakkara on Venetian Island combines a conference space, a hotel and a restaurant on the water. For business it is an opportunity to hold a working meeting, a training programme or a partner event and continue the conversation over dinner at the same location.
Space for business meetings
Bakkara has conference halls and meeting rooms, including the Blue, Red and Panorama halls. Organisers have access to presentation equipment, internet and a corporate menu. The specific room and its equipment are chosen for the number of participants and the programme.
The location is best suited to small and medium-sized business events. For an exhibition with large stands or heavy equipment, delivery, installation and display options must be checked separately.

A short history of Bakkara
The hotel opened in Kyiv in 2009. Its distinctive feature lies in the format of the property itself: Bakkara operates as a hotel ship on the Dnipro. Today it combines accommodation, restaurant service and conference services.
For business event organisers, this format is convenient when the programme, catering and guest accommodation need to be in one place, with fewer transfers during the day.
Location and logistics
Bakkara’s address: 1 Venetian Island, Hydropark, Kyiv. This is an island location on the Dnipro, not the mainland part of the Left Bank. In this guide it complements the Left Bank venues with a separate waterside event format.
Before the event, agree with the administration the access route, guest drop-off point, parking and equipment delivery. For invitations, prepare exact directions to the chosen hall.
If any participants have reduced mobility, check in advance the accessibility of the entire route, including the entrance and toilets.
Which business events Bakkara suits
Conferences and presentations
The halls can be considered for talks, discussions and product presentations to a professional audience. Seating and the need for additional equipment are agreed before booking.
Training and team sessions
The meeting and conference rooms suit training, group work and discussing business tasks away from the office.
Partner meetings and corporate events
The business part can be complemented by lunch, a buffet or dinner. This gives more time to network with clients and partners without changing venues.
Programmes for out-of-town participants
The hotel format makes it possible to arrange guest accommodation together with hall rental and catering.
Descriptions of the spaces and services are available in the “Bakkara conference services”.
Owners of the hotel business
The Bakkara hotel business is linked to Vadym Pavlenko and Vilen Matvieiev through Lasvit LLC and Bakkara-Plus LLC. According to registry data as of November 2026, Lasvit owns 100% of Bakkara-Plus, and Pavlenko and Matvieiev are the ultimate beneficial owners of both companies. Each holds a 50% stake in Lasvit.
This corporate structure concerns the hotel business. It should not be equated with ownership of the vessel in which Bakkara operates. For event organisation, the contact party is the conference services team; the legal entity providing the services must be stated in the contract.
How to organise an event at Bakkara
- 1
Send the conference services department a short description of the event: purpose, preferred date, number of participants, duration and programme format. Specify the preferred seating and the need for separate meeting rooms, catering and accommodation.
- 2
Ask for an offer with separate line items for rental, equipment, technical support, menu and rooms. Agree hall preparation time, contractor access, payment terms, postponement and cancellation. If an online broadcast is planned, check the internet specifications and whether a technical test is possible before the event.
Safety and date confirmation
Before signing the contract, check the available shelter and its capacity, the route for all participants and the procedure during an air raid alert. Separately agree backup power for critical equipment and the terms for extending or postponing the programme. Whether the event can be held on a specific date is confirmed by the administration.
