At ECC Leiden we have five creative spaces. For example, we have the small-scale auditorium The Classroom, you can meet at the bottom of the swimming pool in The Pool, brainstorm among the greenery in The Greenhouse, have a drink with colleagues in The Bar and catch some sunshine with a delicious drink on the terrace with bar. Meetings boring? Definitely not!
Which location do you choose? 😉
A small-scale auditorium for 32 people is the basis for this meeting room. If you’re with fewer people, the seats can be folded down into small tables, which might be ideal for seminars or workshops, for example. However, it’s also perfectly suited for a reception, film screening, or training session. In The Classroom, you’re at your best. The trendy, inspiring environment does the rest!

Meetings boring? Not in our new creative hotspot, The Pool. You’ll feel right at home in this refreshed space, where swimwear used to be the only dress code. Nowadays, it’s the perfect spot for comfortable meetings, but also ideal for hosting a pool party, wedding, drinks, or a brainstorming session.
Small events
Small events are our thing—we love it! You’ll find yourself in a former hotel swimming pool, complete with lifebuoys, a rescue hook, deck chairs, and tiles all around. Yet, it’s been updated to the present day with cozy seating, the latest technology, a delightful coffee corner, lounge areas, charming lighting, and healthy catering. Add a bit of background music, and your event is guaranteed to make a splash! 😉
During long meeting days, our guests have a wonderful break-out spot on our terrace, depending on the season in a summer beach look or winter setting. Unfortunately, the Dutch weather sometimes throws a spanner in the works to be cozy outside. With the arrival of our Greenhouse that is a thing of the past! Now we can always give our meeting guests a wonderful outdoor feeling. Originally used in horticulture, this stylish greenhouse has now been given a second life in Leiden.
Go to The Greenhouse
We are proud to present The Bar, the beating heart of our meeting venue. This stunning hotspot is inspired by the industrial style of the entire building but reimagined in a warm, contemporary setting. Think sturdy leather chairs, trendy lamps, and plush velvet sofas. There are workspaces equipped with individual reading lights, charging points, and free Wi-Fi, along with sophisticated lighting and a large bar where you can pull up a seat.
After your meeting
Enjoy a cozy afternoon break here after your meeting, or host a (Christmas) drink, New Year’s gathering with colleagues, or other events for up to 80 people. All of this takes place under the watchful gaze of the Father of the Nation, whose portrait adorns the wall—a true eye-catcher! 😉 In December, The Bar is dressed up in festive holiday decorations.
Sunny days? Our terrace is the perfect spot to soak up those (first) rays of sunshine. With a beachy vibe, we’ve brought the seaside to Leiden—though some things are better left at the beach (sand between your toes, seagulls, etc.). What you will find here is exactly what you’re looking for: comfortable lounge seats and the feeling of an endless sunny day. Featuring plenty of bamboo, cozy hanging chairs, poufs, and blankets.
Complete with a terrace bar and lounge music, it’s also the ideal place to enjoy your lunch during a meeting break. Not so lucky with the temperature or the weather? You can always move to our Greenhouse instead!
