It doesn’t have any meeting rooms so no good for events, well there were some meeting rooms but they were not very big. Bedrooms were of an acceptable standard and the suites had great views of the sea. Courtyard views for others.
Beau Rivage, Nice – Beau Rivage Hotel Nice
Very boutiquey hotel, discreet entrance parallel to Promenade des Anglais, 4 meeting rooms, all bar one overlook the Mediterranean sea. Max numbers are 85 theatre style. Latest technology included as is wifi and ADSL. The hotel has 118 bedrooms and Suites and are willing to take groups to almost capacity depending on season.
The hotel feels very arty “A local feel with modernity” were the key words they kept using. Contemporary design, innovating architecture and styled decoration in a world of beige stone, wood, pebbles and linens. Pebbles are everywhere, chairs in Reception, in the bathrooms, cushions, sofa’s, pictures etc.
Sofitel Gatwick Airport –
The hotel is located within Gatwick Airport, directly linked to the North Terminal and minutes away from the South Terminal by Monorail. There are 518 luxury bedrooms and suites which are all 100% non-smoking. The central atrium makes this hotel and restaurants and meeting space lead off this area. The hotel has 11 meeting rooms, most offering natural light and some facing the runway.
Perfect hotel for events that are global and need people flying in from different countries, they can accommodate 300 people across their rooms. Meeting space is great, although the main room doesn’t have natural daylight and all rooms are spread across two floors.
A very impressive hotel where you can host a convention for 1,000 or a small board meeting for 10 people. The Venetian room and event facilities with more than 1700 square meters of space that can be split into 7 private rooms, all bar one has natural daylight. One has a sea view. Free wifi throughout. It has 187 bedrooms and suites, some with views of Nice town centre and the others all with sea views. The swimming pool is indoor and outdoor, so take your pick, along with a steam room and sauna.
Located on the sea front on the Promenade des Anglais, directly above the Casino. Outside space inside the hotel within the façade which is a listed monument, very nice at night. Would be great for pre-dinner drinks or cocktail parties. Closed for twenty-six years in the late 70’s, the iconic emblem of Nice’s illustrious heritage was opened in January 2004, following a multi-million Euro restoration completed by Concorde Hotels & Resorts.

The hotel brings historic and contemporary together. Equipped and personalized with exceptional period furniture, each one of the 96 rooms and 21 suites draws its inspiration from French art periods. From Louis XIII style to modern art, five centuries of history are represented. Every room and suite is equipped with CD TV and wifi access.
The hotel only has 9 meeting rooms and they are not that large, great views of the sea though. The Reception area is a big white space and can be hired for functions although they do need to vet the clients before agreeing to allow people to hire the facilities, it feels like a museum when you walk in. The bar feels like an old gentleman’s club and quite dark in design. The owner lives in the hotel on the top floor. La Rotonde restaurant has horses from a carousel within it, aiming more towards families.

Perfect hotel for events that are global and need people flying in from different countries, they can accommodate 300 people across their rooms. Meeting space is great, although the main room doesn’t have natural daylight and all rooms are spread across two floors.
Le Meridien Nice
The meeting space has 25 different sized ‘modular’ meeting rooms fully equipped with modern technology. All located on the 1st floor just behind Reception. The rooftop terrace and the private Ruhl beach directly across from the hotel are available for seasonal galas, dinners and cocktail parties. The hotel offers 318 rooms and the executive rooms have stunning views across the med.
Great location in the heart of Nice along the Promenade Anglais. Please bear in mind that the hotel is on top of McDonald’s which is very very busy. Swimming pool is incredibly small, only suitable for cooling off rather than swimming.
Radisson Blu, Nice
The hotel has 14 different sized meeting rooms, well suited for any business meeting or event. Amenities include a stunning rooftop terrace, 331 bedrooms so great for groups. Located on the Promenade D’Anglais nearer to the airport rather than the centre of Nice. Rooms are designed in Ocean, Chilli or Urban styles. The chillirooms have a huge chilli on the wall. Stunning views from the sea view rooms.
The back of the hotel bedrooms are facing apartment blocks. The hotel has 2 restaurants one downstairs from Reception which closes in the summer months to push people onto the rooftop terrace, which has great views in the shade or open sunshine.
Hotel Negresco, Nice
The hotel brings historic and contemporary together. Equipped and personalized with exceptional period furniture, each one of the 96 rooms and 21 suites draws its inspiration from French art periods. From Louis XIII style to modern art, five centuries of history are represented. Every room and suite is equipped with CD TV and wifi access.
The hotel only has 9 meeting rooms and they are not that large, great views of the sea though. The Reception area is a big white space and can be hired for functions although they do need to vet the clients before agreeing to allow people to hire the facilities, it feels like a museum when you walk in. The bar feels like an old gentleman’s club and quite dark in design. The owner lives in the hotel on the top floor. La Rotonde restaurant has horses from a carousel within it, aiming more towards families.
Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée – Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Mediterranee
A very impressive hotel where you can host a convention for 1,000 or a small board meeting for 10 people. The Venetian room and event facilities with more than 1700 square meters of space that can be split into 7 private rooms, all bar one has natural daylight. One has a sea view. Free wifi throughout. It has 187 bedrooms and suites, some with views of Nice town centre and the others all with sea views. The swimming pool is indoor and outdoor, so take your pick, along with a steam room and sauna.
Located on the sea front on the Promenade des Anglais, directly above the Casino. Outside space inside the hotel within the façade which is a listed monument, very nice at night. Would be great for pre-dinner drinks or cocktail parties. Closed for twenty-six years in the late 70’s, the iconic emblem of Nice’s illustrious heritage was opened in January 2004, following a multi-million Euro restoration completed by Concorde Hotels & Resorts.
Mercure, Promenade de Anglais, Nice
The front door is not very welcoming it reminds me of a back packing hotel, great location in the heart of the centre of Nice. Close to the flower market.
It doesn’t have any meeting rooms so no good for events, well there were some meeting rooms but they were not very big. Bedrooms were of an acceptable standard and the suites had great views of the sea. Courtyard views for others.

The hotel feels very arty “A local feel with modernity” were the key words they kept using. Contemporary design, innovating architecture and styled decoration in a world of beige stone, wood, pebbles and linens. Pebbles are everywhere, chairs in Reception, in the bathrooms, cushions, sofa’s, pictures etc.

It has 187 bedrooms and suites, some with views of Nice town centre and the others all with sea views. The swimming pool is indoor and outdoor, so take your pick, along with a steam room and sauna.
Located on the sea front on the Promenade des Anglais, directly above the Casino. Outside space inside the hotel within the façade which is a listed monument, very nice at night. Would be great for pre-dinner drinks or cocktail parties. Closed for twenty-six years in the late 70’s, the iconic emblem of Nice’s illustrious heritage was opened in January 2004, following a multi-million Euro restoration completed by Concorde Hotels & Resorts.
Mercure, Promenade de Anglais, Nice
The front door is not very welcoming it reminds me of a back packing hotel, great location in the heart of the centre of Nice. Close to the flower market.
It doesn’t have any meeting rooms so no good for events, well there were some meeting rooms but they were not very big. Bedrooms were of an acceptable standard and the suites had great views of the sea. Courtyard views for others.
Beau Rivage, Nice – Beau Rivage Hotel Nice
Very boutiquey hotel, discreet entrance parallel to Promenade des Anglais, 4 meeting rooms, all bar one overlook the Mediterranean sea. Max numbers are 85 theatre style. Latest technology included as is wifi and ADSL. The hotel has 118 bedrooms and Suites and are willing to take groups to almost capacity depending on season.
The hotel feels very arty “A local feel with modernity” were the key words they kept using. Contemporary design, innovating architecture and styled decoration in a world of beige stone, wood, pebbles and linens. Pebbles are everywhere, chairs in Reception, in the bathrooms, cushions, sofa’s, pictures etc.
Sofitel Gatwick Airport –

Great location in the heart of Nice along the Promenade Anglais. Please bear in mind that the hotel is on top of McDonald’s which is very very busy. Swimming pool is incredibly small, only suitable for cooling off rather than swimming.
Radisson Blu, Nice
The hotel has 14 different sized meeting rooms, well suited for any business meeting or event. Amenities include a stunning rooftop terrace, 331 bedrooms so great for groups.

The back of the hotel bedrooms are facing apartment blocks. The hotel has 2 restaurants one downstairs from Reception which closes in the summer months to push people onto the rooftop terrace, which has great views in the shade or open sunshine.
Hotel Negresco, Nice
The hotel brings historic and contemporary together. Equipped and personalized with exceptional period furniture, each one of the 96 rooms and 21 suites draws its inspiration from French art periods. From Louis XIII style to modern art, five centuries of history are represented. Every room and suite is equipped with CD TV and wifi access.
The hotel only has 9 meeting rooms and they are not that large, great views of the sea though. The Reception area is a big white space and can be hired for functions although they do need to vet the clients before agreeing to allow people to hire the facilities, it feels like a museum when you walk in. The bar feels like an old gentleman’s club and quite dark in design. The owner lives in the hotel on the top floor. La Rotonde restaurant has horses from a carousel within it, aiming more towards families.

Great location in the heart of Nice along the Promenade Anglais. Please bear in mind that the hotel is on top of McDonald’s which is very very busy. Swimming pool is incredibly small, only suitable for cooling off rather than swimming.
Radisson Blu, Nice
The hotel has 14 different sized meeting rooms, well suited for any business meeting or event. Amenities include a stunning rooftop terrace, 331 bedrooms so great for groups. Located on the Promenade D’Anglais nearer to the airport rather than the centre of Nice. Rooms are designed in Ocean, Chilli or Urban styles. The chillirooms have a huge chilli on the wall. Stunning views from the sea view rooms.
The back of the hotel bedrooms are facing apartment blocks. The hotel has 2 restaurants one downstairs from Reception which closes in the summer months to push people onto the rooftop terrace, which has great views in the shade or open sunshine.
Hotel Negresco, Nice
The hotel brings historic and contemporary together. Equipped and personalized with exceptional period furniture, each one of the 96 rooms and 21 suites draws its inspiration from French art periods. From Louis XIII style to modern art, five centuries of history are represented. Every room and suite is equipped with CD TV and wifi access.
The hotel only has 9 meeting rooms and they are not that large, great views of the sea though. The Reception area is a big white space and can be hired for functions although they do need to vet the clients before agreeing to allow people to hire the facilities, it feels like a museum when you walk in. The bar feels like an old gentleman’s club and quite dark in design. The owner lives in the hotel on the top floor. La Rotonde restaurant has horses from a carousel within it, aiming more towards families.

Mercure, Promenade de Anglais, Nice
The front door is not very welcoming it reminds me of a back packing hotel, great location in the heart of the centre of Nice. Close to the flower market.
It doesn’t have any meeting rooms so no good for events, well there were some meeting rooms but they were not very big. Bedrooms were of an acceptable standard and the suites had great views of the sea. Courtyard views for others.

Very boutiquey hotel, discreet entrance parallel to Promenade des Anglais, 4 meeting rooms, all bar one overlook the Mediterranean sea. Max numbers are 85 theatre style.

The hotel feels very arty “A local feel with modernity” were the key words they kept using. Contemporary design, innovating architecture and styled decoration in a world of beige stone, wood, pebbles and linens. Pebbles are everywhere, chairs in Reception, in the bathrooms, cushions, sofa’s, pictures etc.

Buddha Bar Monaco
Located in a former concert hall from the early 20th century, this venue successfully combines a historic architectural heritage with a decor inspired by the Orient. Restored and regilded with pilars and cornices beneath a 7-metre high ceiling, the Buddha Bar really does impress.
Lounge and world music, mixed by their resident DJ is a key element of the Buddha Bar experience no matter what country you visit one of the world famous bars. Dining at the Buddha Bar is an experience guaranteed to be full of surprises. You can hire the whole venue or just part for a unique experience for any event.

The only 3 star hotel in Monte Carlo, I think it could easily be a 4 star hotel but apparently the rulers of Monaco have asked for lesser rated hotels to be available to entice more companies to the principality. It has 218 rooms and they are the same standard as a Novotel in the UK. Some have sofa’s and some have extra amenities dependant on rating.

The only 3 star hotel in Monte Carlo, I think it could easily be a 4 star hotel but apparently the rulers of Monaco have asked for lesser rated hotels to be available to entice more companies to the principality. It has 218 rooms and they are the same standard as a Novotel in the UK. Some have sofa’s and some have extra amenities dependant on rating.
Small pool area but nice outside space with artificial grass that works, it could be used for tea/coffee breaks during meetings. Most of the meeting space is downstairs with no natural daylight, some of the smaller syndicate rooms do have natural daylight but they face the street. Free wifi throughout the hotel. Refurbishment during the summer months each year.
Grimaldi Forum, Monte Carlo Grimaldi Forum Monaco
The Grimaldi Forum is huge and can host up to 3000 participants. With 35000sqm of exhibition space and various meeting rooms, you can hire part or all of the venue.

They also work really closely with several hotels located near to the Forum.
The Grimaldi Forum Monaco is one of the first in Europe to obtain ISO 14001: 2004 environmental certification. Smaller meetings may get lost. Lots of underground parking, easy access to the venue. Very versatile space with modern options.
Buddha Bar Monaco
Located in a former concert hall from the early 20th century, this venue successfully combines a historic architectural heritage with a decor inspired by the Orient. Restored and regilded with pilars and cornices beneath a 7-metre high ceiling, the Buddha Bar really does impress.
Lounge and world music, mixed by their resident DJ is a key element of the Buddha Bar experience no matter what country you visit one of the world famous bars. Dining at the Buddha Bar is an experience guaranteed to be full of surprises. You can hire the whole venue or just part for a unique experience for any event. The Lounge Bar on the ground floor extends onto two open-air terraces either side of the entrance to the restaurant, so good outside space.

The back of the hotel bedrooms are facing apartment blocks. The hotel has 2 restaurants one downstairs from Reception which closes in the summer months to push people onto the rooftop terrace, which has great views in the shade or open sunshine.
Hotel Negresco, Nice
The hotel brings historic and contemporary together. Equipped and personalized with exceptional period furniture, each one of the 96 rooms and 21 suites draws its inspiration from French art periods. From Louis XIII style to modern art, five centuries of history are represented. Every room and suite is equipped with CD TV and wifi access.
The hotel only has 9 meeting rooms and they are not that large, great views of the sea though. The Reception area is a big white space and can be hired for functions although they do need to vet the clients before agreeing to allow people to hire the facilities, it feels like a museum when you walk in. The bar feels like an old gentleman’s club and quite dark in design. The owner lives in the hotel on the top floor. La Rotonde restaurant has horses from a carousel within it, aiming more towards families.

Mercure, Promenade de Anglais, Nice
The front door is not very welcoming it reminds me of a back packing hotel, great location in the heart of the centre of Nice. Close to the flower market.

Dining at the Buddha Bar is an experience guaranteed to be full of surprises. You can hire the whole venue or just part for a unique experience for any event. The Lounge Bar on the ground floor extends onto two open-air terraces either side of the entrance to the restaurant, so good outside space.

Radisson Blu, Nice
The hotel has 14 different sized meeting rooms, well suited for any business meeting or event. Amenities include a stunning rooftop terrace, 331 bedrooms so great for groups.

Hotel Negresco, Nice
The hotel brings historic and contemporary together. Equipped and personalized with exceptional period furniture, each one of the 96 rooms and 21 suites draws its inspiration from French art periods. From Louis XIII style to modern art, five centuries of history are represented. Every room and suite is equipped with CD TV and wifi access.
The hotel only has 9 meeting rooms and they are not that large, great views of the sea though. The Reception area is a big white space and can be hired for functions although they do need to vet the clients before agreeing to allow people to hire the facilities, it feels like a museum when you walk in. The bar feels like an old gentleman’s club and quite dark in design. The owner lives in the hotel on the top floor. La Rotonde restaurant has horses from a carousel within it, aiming more towards families.

Mercure, Promenade de Anglais, Nice
The front door is not very welcoming it reminds me of a back packing hotel, great location in the heart of the centre of Nice. Close to the flower market.

The bar feels like an old gentleman’s club and quite dark in design. The owner lives in the hotel on the top floor. La Rotonde restaurant has horses from a carousel within it, aiming more towards families.
Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée – Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Mediterranee
A very impressive hotel where you can host a convention for 1,000 or a small board meeting for 10 people. The Venetian room and event facilities with more than 1700 square meters of space that can be split into 7 private rooms, all bar one has natural daylight. One has a sea view. Free wifi throughout. It has 187 bedrooms and suites, some with views of Nice town centre and the others all with sea views. The swimming pool is indoor and outdoor, so take your pick, along with a steam room and sauna.
Located on the sea front on the Promenade des Anglais, directly above the Casino. Outside space inside the hotel within the façade which is a listed monument, very nice at night. Would be great for pre-dinner drinks or cocktail parties. Closed for twenty-six years in the late 70’s, the iconic emblem of Nice’s illustrious heritage was opened in January 2004, following a multi-million Euro restoration completed by Concorde Hotels & Resorts.
Mercure, Promenade de Anglais, Nice
The front door is not very welcoming it reminds me of a back packing hotel, great location in the heart of the centre of Nice. Close to the flower market.
It doesn’t have any meeting rooms so no good for events, well there were some meeting rooms but they were not very big. Bedrooms were of an acceptable standard and the suites had great views of the sea. Courtyard views for others.
Beau Rivage, Nice – Beau Rivage Hotel Nice
Very boutiquey hotel, discreet entrance parallel to Promenade des Anglais, 4 meeting rooms, all bar one overlook the Mediterranean sea. Max numbers are 85 theatre style. Latest technology included as is wifi and ADSL. The hotel has 118 bedrooms and Suites and are willing to take groups to almost capacity depending on season.
The hotel feels very arty “A local feel with modernity” were the key words they kept using. Contemporary design, innovating architecture and styled decoration in a world of beige stone, wood, pebbles and linens. Pebbles are everywhere, chairs in Reception, in the bathrooms, cushions, sofa’s, pictures etc.
Sofitel Gatwick Airport –
The hotel is located within Gatwick Airport, directly linked to the North Terminal and minutes away from the South Terminal by Monorail. There are 518 luxury bedrooms and suites which are all 100% non-smoking. The central atrium makes this hotel and restaurants and meeting space lead off this area. The hotel has 11 meeting rooms, most offering natural light and some facing the runway.
Perfect hotel for events that are global and need people flying in from different countries, they can accommodate 300 people across their rooms. Meeting space is great, although the main room doesn’t have natural daylight and all rooms are spread across two floors.
It does scream opulence when you walk into the foyer of the hotel. Very impressive chandelier in the Reception area. It has a 3 star Michelin restaurant with Alain Ducasse at Louis XIV, which has a waiting list to dine at. The largest meeting rooms is the La Salle Empire with an outside terrace which overlooks Casino Square.
The hotel is due to start a refurbishment programme in September but the hotel will remain open as it will be done in stages. The American bar was like an old gentleman’s club just off the Reception, although the views were impressive. Would be good venue for a gala or offsite dinner.
Casino de Monaco
The only casino in the world to have a clock in it. Steeped in history. Secluded private rooms for people who want to gamble with more than 1 million euro’s. Orange tables have been proven to make people spend more, these are used for high stakes gambling.
Outside space or inside space could be used for an offsite activity with opportunity to teach people how to gamble properly. They host dinners, concerts and tours which would be great for groups.
Monte Carlo Bay, Monte Carlo
A modern hotel with quirky designs and a seat in the lift. Separate entrance for conferences with floor to ceiling windows in the meeting rooms and really useful tea/coffee cupboards that are portable and flexible that house everything you need for meetings.

Monte Carlo Beach Resort, Monte Carlo
A stunning hotel built right on the water’s edge, part of Relais & Chateaux, it is pure luxury. Stunning 20’s art deco pictures adorn the walls, they cannot build any more floors on the hotel as its listed and therefore they refurbished what they had and reduced the rooms from 46 to just 40 bedrooms and it has a waiting list to visit as they have regular clients who book several times a year.
The first hotel to gain 1 Michelin star for an all-organic restaurant in Elsa. The hotel closes from the end of November until end of March. Great for offsite dinners for smaller groups. Good outside space for drinks receptions or team activities.
Le Meridien Monaco, Monte Carlo
Really busy hotel next door to Monte Carlo Bay Hotel and they work with each other to host larger groups into Monaco .It is the only hotel with its own private beach in Monaco.

Novotel, Monte Carlo Novotel Monte Carlo
The only 3 star hotel in Monte Carlo, I think it could easily be a 4 star hotel but apparently the rulers of Monaco have asked for lesser rated hotels to be available to entice more companies to the principality. It has 218 rooms and they are the same standard as a Novotel in the UK. Some have sofa’s and some have extra amenities dependant on rating.
Small pool area but nice outside space with artificial grass that works, it could be used for tea/coffee breaks during meetings. Most of the meeting space is downstairs with no natural daylight, some of the smaller syndicate rooms do have natural daylight but they face the street. Free wifi throughout the hotel. Refurbishment during the summer months each year.

Buddha Bar Monaco
Located in a former concert hall from the early 20th century, this venue successfully combines a historic architectural heritage with a decor inspired by the Orient. Restored and regilded with pilars and cornices beneath a 7-metre high ceiling, the Buddha Bar really does impress.
Lounge and world music, mixed by their resident DJ is a key element of the Buddha Bar experience no matter what country you visit one of the world famous bars. Dining at the Buddha Bar is an experience guaranteed to be full of surprises. You can hire the whole venue or just part for a unique experience for any event. The Lounge Bar on the ground floor extends onto two open-air terraces either side of the entrance to the restaurant, so good outside space.

Perfect hotel for events that are global and need people flying in from different countries, they can accommodate 300 people across their rooms. Meeting space is great, although the main room doesn’t have natural daylight and all rooms are spread across two floors.
The Belle Epoque outside terrace overlooks Monte Carlo harbour with stunning views. Crystal Bar is not used much in the summer, used more in the winter months with a roaring fire. Classic bedrooms are of a good standard and a nice size which would be used for groups. Able to take 3 coaches outside for groups all at the same time into the separate conference entrance to the side of the main hotel. Heavy hairdryer that needs to be held all the time to make it work.
Hotel de Paris, Monte Carlo
It does scream opulence when you walk into the foyer of the hotel. Very impressive chandelier in the Reception area. It has a 3 star Michelin restaurant with Alain Ducasse at Louis XIV, which has a waiting list to dine at. The largest meeting rooms is the La Salle Empire with an outside terrace which overlooks Casino Square.
The hotel is due to start a refurbishment programme in September but the hotel will remain open as it will be done in stages. The American bar was like an old gentleman’s club just off the Reception, although the views were impressive. Would be good venue for a gala or offsite dinner.
Casino de Monaco
The only casino in the world to have a clock in it. Steeped in history. Secluded private rooms for people who want to gamble with more than 1 million euro’s. Orange tables have been proven to make people spend more, these are used for high stakes gambling.
Outside space or inside space could be used for an offsite activity with opportunity to teach people how to gamble properly. They host dinners, concerts and tours which would be great for groups.
Monte Carlo Bay, Monte Carlo
A modern hotel with quirky designs and a seat in the lift. Separate entrance for conferences with floor to ceiling windows in the meeting rooms and really useful tea/coffee cupboards that are portable and flexible that house everything you need for meetings. Suites on the 10th floor could be used for meeting rooms as they have a downstairs lounge area and the bedroom is upstairs.
Opera Garnier is attached to the hotel, which hosts many international concerts but can be hired for large conferences, can change from indoor theatre to outdoor if required. Has an indoor and outdoor pool as well as a Lagoon, several outside spaces for drinks receptions. Modern hotel.
Monte Carlo Beach Resort, Monte Carlo
A stunning hotel built right on the water’s edge, part of Relais & Chateaux, it is pure luxury. Stunning 20’s art deco pictures adorn the walls, they cannot build any more floors on the hotel as its listed and therefore they refurbished what they had and reduced the rooms from 46 to just 40 bedrooms and it has a waiting list to visit as they have regular clients who book several times a year.
The first hotel to gain 1 Michelin star for an all-organic restaurant in Elsa. The hotel closes from the end of November until end of March. Great for offsite dinners for smaller groups. Good outside space for drinks receptions or team activities.
Le Meridien Monaco, Monte Carlo
Really busy hotel next door to Monte Carlo Bay Hotel and they work with each other to host larger groups into Monaco .It is the only hotel with its own private beach in Monaco. They have their own dedicated conference centre of 3000sqm of meeting space that is connected to the hotel but can also be separate if needed. 403 rooms and suites.
Reception area is not the best, very busy and not a lot of space during peak times.There is a great ice cream parlour situated on the beach area. Great pool outside the conference centre. All guests given the treat wallet which has savings and offers to use around the hotel.
Novotel, Monte Carlo Novotel Monte Carlo
The only 3 star hotel in Monte Carlo, I think it could easily be a 4 star hotel but apparently the rulers of Monaco have asked for lesser rated hotels to be available to entice more companies to the principality. It has 218 rooms and they are the same standard as a Novotel in the UK. Some have sofa’s and some have extra amenities dependant on rating.
Small pool area but nice outside space with artificial grass that works, it could be used for tea/coffee breaks during meetings. Most of the meeting space is downstairs with no natural daylight, some of the smaller syndicate rooms do have natural daylight but they face the street. Free wifi throughout the hotel. Refurbishment during the summer months each year.
Grimaldi Forum, Monte Carlo Grimaldi Forum Monaco
The Grimaldi Forum is huge and can host up to 3000 participants. With 35000sqm of exhibition space and various meeting rooms, you can hire part or all of the venue.

They also work really closely with several hotels located near to the Forum.
The Grimaldi Forum Monaco is one of the first in Europe to obtain ISO 14001: 2004 environmental certification. Smaller meetings may get lost. Lots of underground parking, easy access to the venue. Very versatile space with modern options.
Buddha Bar Monaco
Located in a former concert hall from the early 20th century, this venue successfully combines a historic architectural heritage with a decor inspired by the Orient. Restored and regilded with pilars and cornices beneath a 7-metre high ceiling, the Buddha Bar really does impress.
Lounge and world music, mixed by their resident DJ is a key element of the Buddha Bar experience no matter what country you visit one of the world famous bars. Dining at the Buddha Bar is an experience guaranteed to be full of surprises. You can hire the whole venue or just part for a unique experience for any event. The Lounge Bar on the ground floor extends onto two open-air terraces either side of the entrance to the restaurant, so good outside space.

The hotel offers 318 rooms and the executive rooms have stunning views across the med.
Great location in the heart of Nice along the Promenade Anglais. Please bear in mind that the hotel is on top of McDonald’s which is very very busy. Swimming pool is incredibly small, only suitable for cooling off rather than swimming.
Radisson Blu, Nice
The hotel has 14 different sized meeting rooms, well suited for any business meeting or event. Amenities include a stunning rooftop terrace, 331 bedrooms so great for groups. Located on the Promenade D’Anglais nearer to the airport rather than the centre of Nice. Rooms are designed in Ocean, Chilli or Urban styles. The chillirooms have a huge chilli on the wall. Stunning views from the sea view rooms.
The back of the hotel bedrooms are facing apartment blocks. The hotel has 2 restaurants one downstairs from Reception which closes in the summer months to push people onto the rooftop terrace, which has great views in the shade or open sunshine.
Hotel Negresco, Nice
The hotel brings historic and contemporary together. Equipped and personalized with exceptional period furniture, each one of the 96 rooms and 21 suites draws its inspiration from French art periods. From Louis XIII style to modern art, five centuries of history are represented. Every room and suite is equipped with CD TV and wifi access.
The hotel only has 9 meeting rooms and they are not that large, great views of the sea though. The Reception area is a big white space and can be hired for functions although they do need to vet the clients before agreeing to allow people to hire the facilities, it feels like a museum when you walk in. The bar feels like an old gentleman’s club and quite dark in design. The owner lives in the hotel on the top floor. La Rotonde restaurant has horses from a carousel within it, aiming more towards families.
Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée – Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Mediterranee

Would be great for pre-dinner drinks or cocktail parties. Closed for twenty-six years in the late 70’s, the iconic emblem of Nice’s illustrious heritage was opened in January 2004, following a multi-million Euro restoration completed by Concorde Hotels & Resorts.
Mercure, Promenade de Anglais, Nice
The front door is not very welcoming it reminds me of a back packing hotel, great location in the heart of the centre of Nice. Close to the flower market.
It doesn’t have any meeting rooms so no good for events, well there were some meeting rooms but they were not very big. Bedrooms were of an acceptable standard and the suites had great views of the sea. Courtyard views for others.

Able to take 3 coaches outside for groups all at the same time into the separate conference entrance to the side of the main hotel. Heavy hairdryer that needs to be held all the time to make it work.
Hotel de Paris, Monte Carlo
It does scream opulence when you walk into the foyer of the hotel. Very impressive chandelier in the Reception area. It has a 3 star Michelin restaurant with Alain Ducasse at Louis XIV, which has a waiting list to dine at. The largest meeting rooms is the La Salle Empire with an outside terrace which overlooks Casino Square.
The hotel is due to start a refurbishment programme in September but the hotel will remain open as it will be done in stages. The American bar was like an old gentleman’s club just off the Reception, although the views were impressive. Would be good venue for a gala or offsite dinner.
Casino de Monaco
The only casino in the world to have a clock in it. Steeped in history. Secluded private rooms for people who want to gamble with more than 1 million euro’s. Orange tables have been proven to make people spend more, these are used for high stakes gambling.
Outside space or inside space could be used for an offsite activity with opportunity to teach people how to gamble properly. They host dinners, concerts and tours which would be great for groups.
Monte Carlo Bay, Monte Carlo
A modern hotel with quirky designs and a seat in the lift. Separate entrance for conferences with floor to ceiling windows in the meeting rooms and really useful tea/coffee cupboards that are portable and flexible that house everything you need for meetings. Suites on the 10th floor could be used for meeting rooms as they have a downstairs lounge area and the bedroom is upstairs.
Opera Garnier is attached to the hotel, which hosts many international concerts but can be hired for large conferences, can change from indoor theatre to outdoor if required. Has an indoor and outdoor pool as well as a Lagoon, several outside spaces for drinks receptions. Modern hotel.
Monte Carlo Beach Resort, Monte Carlo
A stunning hotel built right on the water’s edge, part of Relais & Chateaux, it is pure luxury. Stunning 20’s art deco pictures adorn the walls, they cannot build any more floors on the hotel as its listed and therefore they refurbished what they had and reduced the rooms from 46 to just 40 bedrooms and it has a waiting list to visit as they have regular clients who book several times a year.
The first hotel to gain 1 Michelin star for an all-organic restaurant in Elsa. The hotel closes from the end of November until end of March. Great for offsite dinners for smaller groups. Good outside space for drinks receptions or team activities.
Le Meridien Monaco, Monte Carlo
Really busy hotel next door to Monte Carlo Bay Hotel and they work with each other to host larger groups into Monaco .It is the only hotel with its own private beach in Monaco. They have their own dedicated conference centre of 3000sqm of meeting space that is connected to the hotel but can also be separate if needed. 403 rooms and suites.
Reception area is not the best, very busy and not a lot of space during peak times.There is a great ice cream parlour situated on the beach area. Great pool outside the conference centre. All guests given the treat wallet which has savings and offers to use around the hotel.
Novotel, Monte Carlo Novotel Monte Carlo
The only 3 star hotel in Monte Carlo, I think it could easily be a 4 star hotel but apparently the rulers of Monaco have asked for lesser rated hotels to be available to entice more companies to the principality. It has 218 rooms and they are the same standard as a Novotel in the UK. Some have sofa’s and some have extra amenities dependant on rating.
Small pool area but nice outside space with artificial grass that works, it could be used for tea/coffee breaks during meetings. Most of the meeting space is downstairs with no natural daylight, some of the smaller syndicate rooms do have natural daylight but they face the street. Free wifi throughout the hotel. Refurbishment during the summer months each year.
Grimaldi Forum, Monte Carlo Grimaldi Forum Monaco
The Grimaldi Forum is huge and can host up to 3000 participants. With 35000sqm of exhibition space and various meeting rooms, you can hire part or all of the venue.

They also work really closely with several hotels located near to the Forum.
The Grimaldi Forum Monaco is one of the first in Europe to obtain ISO 14001: 2004 environmental certification. Smaller meetings may get lost. Lots of underground parking, easy access to the venue. Very versatile space with modern options.
Buddha Bar Monaco
Located in a former concert hall from the early 20th century, this venue successfully combines a historic architectural heritage with a decor inspired by the Orient. Restored and regilded with pilars and cornices beneath a 7-metre high ceiling, the Buddha Bar really does impress.
Lounge and world music, mixed by their resident DJ is a key element of the Buddha Bar experience no matter what country you visit one of the world famous bars. Dining at the Buddha Bar is an experience guaranteed to be full of surprises. You can hire the whole venue or just part for a unique experience for any event. The Lounge Bar on the ground floor extends onto two open-air terraces either side of the entrance to the restaurant, so good outside space.

The rooftop terrace and the private Ruhl beach directly across from the hotel are available for seasonal galas, dinners and cocktail parties. The hotel offers 318 rooms and the executive rooms have stunning views across the med.
Great location in the heart of Nice along the Promenade Anglais. Please bear in mind that the hotel is on top of McDonald’s which is very very busy. Swimming pool is incredibly small, only suitable for cooling off rather than swimming.
Radisson Blu, Nice
The hotel has 14 different sized meeting rooms, well suited for any business meeting or event. Amenities include a stunning rooftop terrace, 331 bedrooms so great for groups. Located on the Promenade D’Anglais nearer to the airport rather than the centre of Nice. Rooms are designed in Ocean, Chilli or Urban styles. The chillirooms have a huge chilli on the wall. Stunning views from the sea view rooms.
The back of the hotel bedrooms are facing apartment blocks. The hotel has 2 restaurants one downstairs from Reception which closes in the summer months to push people onto the rooftop terrace, which has great views in the shade or open sunshine.
Hotel Negresco, Nice
The hotel brings historic and contemporary together. Equipped and personalized with exceptional period furniture, each one of the 96 rooms and 21 suites draws its inspiration from French art periods. From Louis XIII style to modern art, five centuries of history are represented. Every room and suite is equipped with CD TV and wifi access.
The hotel only has 9 meeting rooms and they are not that large, great views of the sea though. The Reception area is a big white space and can be hired for functions although they do need to vet the clients before agreeing to allow people to hire the facilities, it feels like a museum when you walk in. The bar feels like an old gentleman’s club and quite dark in design. The owner lives in the hotel on the top floor. La Rotonde restaurant has horses from a carousel within it, aiming more towards families.
Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée – Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Mediterranee
A very impressive hotel where you can host a convention for 1,000 or a small board meeting for 10 people.

Would be great for pre-dinner drinks or cocktail parties. Closed for twenty-six years in the late 70’s, the iconic emblem of Nice’s illustrious heritage was opened in January 2004, following a multi-million Euro restoration completed by Concorde Hotels & Resorts.
Mercure, Promenade de Anglais, Nice
The front door is not very welcoming it reminds me of a back packing hotel, great location in the heart of the centre of Nice. Close to the flower market.
It doesn’t have any meeting rooms so no good for events, well there were some meeting rooms but they were not very big. Bedrooms were of an acceptable standard and the suites had great views of the sea. Courtyard views for others.
Beau Rivage, Nice – Beau Rivage Hotel Nice
Very boutiquey hotel, discreet entrance parallel to Promenade des Anglais, 4 meeting rooms, all bar one overlook the Mediterranean sea. Max numbers are 85 theatre style. Latest technology included as is wifi and ADSL. The hotel has 118 bedrooms and Suites and are willing to take groups to almost capacity depending on season.
The hotel feels very arty “A local feel with modernity” were the key words they kept using.

Pebbles are everywhere, chairs in Reception, in the bathrooms, cushions, sofa’s, pictures etc.

Perfect hotel for events that are global and need people flying in from different countries, they can accommodate 300 people across their rooms. Meeting space is great, although the main room doesn’t have natural daylight and all rooms are spread across two floors.
Hotel Hermitage, Monte Carlo
Much larger than I first thought, I was under the impression it was a boutique hotel. How wrong I was, stunning main meeting room, although it does have pillars but very art deco. Steeped in history, the original driveway the horse and carts used in the 1900’s when the hotel was built is still part of the hotel, although it’s now covered over and modernised to a very high standard. Designed by Mr Eiffel after he finished another impressive structure in Paris!
The Belle Epoque outside terrace overlooks Monte Carlo harbour with stunning views. Crystal Bar is not used much in the summer, used more in the winter months with a roaring fire.

Steeped in history, the original driveway the horse and carts used in the 1900’s when the hotel was built is still part of the hotel, although it’s now covered over and modernised to a very high standard. Designed by Mr Eiffel after he finished another impressive structure in Paris!
The Belle Epoque outside terrace overlooks Monte Carlo harbour with stunning views. Crystal Bar is not used much in the summer, used more in the winter months with a roaring fire. Classic bedrooms are of a good standard and a nice size which would be used for groups. Able to take 3 coaches outside for groups all at the same time into the separate conference entrance to the side of the main hotel. Heavy hairdryer that needs to be held all the time to make it work.
Hotel de Paris, Monte Carlo
It does scream opulence when you walk into the foyer of the hotel. Very impressive chandelier in the Reception area. It has a 3 star Michelin restaurant with Alain Ducasse at Louis XIV, which has a waiting list to dine at. The largest meeting rooms is the La Salle Empire with an outside terrace which overlooks Casino Square.
The hotel is due to start a refurbishment programme in September but the hotel will remain open as it will be done in stages. The American bar was like an old gentleman’s club just off the Reception, although the views were impressive. Would be good venue for a gala or offsite dinner.
Casino de Monaco
The only casino in the world to have a clock in it. Steeped in history. Secluded private rooms for people who want to gamble with more than 1 million euro’s. Orange tables have been proven to make people spend more, these are used for high stakes gambling.
Outside space or inside space could be used for an offsite activity with opportunity to teach people how to gamble properly. They host dinners, concerts and tours which would be great for groups.
Monte Carlo Bay, Monte Carlo
A modern hotel with quirky designs and a seat in the lift. Separate entrance for conferences with floor to ceiling windows in the meeting rooms and really useful tea/coffee cupboards that are portable and flexible that house everything you need for meetings. Suites on the 10th floor could be used for meeting rooms as they have a downstairs lounge area and the bedroom is upstairs.
Opera Garnier is attached to the hotel, which hosts many international concerts but can be hired for large conferences, can change from indoor theatre to outdoor if required. Has an indoor and outdoor pool as well as a Lagoon, several outside spaces for drinks receptions. Modern hotel.
Monte Carlo Beach Resort, Monte Carlo
A stunning hotel built right on the water’s edge, part of Relais & Chateaux, it is pure luxury. Stunning 20’s art deco pictures adorn the walls, they cannot build any more floors on the hotel as its listed and therefore they refurbished what they had and reduced the rooms from 46 to just 40 bedrooms and it has a waiting list to visit as they have regular clients who book several times a year.
The first hotel to gain 1 Michelin star for an all-organic restaurant in Elsa. The hotel closes from the end of November until end of March. Great for offsite dinners for smaller groups. Good outside space for drinks receptions or team activities.
Le Meridien Monaco, Monte Carlo
Really busy hotel next door to Monte Carlo Bay Hotel and they work with each other to host larger groups into Monaco .It is the only hotel with its own private beach in Monaco.

Novotel, Monte Carlo Novotel Monte Carlo
The only 3 star hotel in Monte Carlo, I think it could easily be a 4 star hotel but apparently the rulers of Monaco have asked for lesser rated hotels to be available to entice more companies to the principality. It has 218 rooms and they are the same standard as a Novotel in the UK. Some have sofa’s and some have extra amenities dependant on rating.
Small pool area but nice outside space with artificial grass that works, it could be used for tea/coffee breaks during meetings. Most of the meeting space is downstairs with no natural daylight, some of the smaller syndicate rooms do have natural daylight but they face the street. Free wifi throughout the hotel. Refurbishment during the summer months each year.
Grimaldi Forum, Monte Carlo Grimaldi Forum Monaco

Buddha Bar Monaco
Located in a former concert hall from the early 20th century, this venue successfully combines a historic architectural heritage with a decor inspired by the Orient. Restored and regilded with pilars and cornices beneath a 7-metre high ceiling, the Buddha Bar really does impress.
Lounge and world music, mixed by their resident DJ is a key element of the Buddha Bar experience no matter what country you visit one of the world famous bars. Dining at the Buddha Bar is an experience guaranteed to be full of surprises. You can hire the whole venue or just part for a unique experience for any event. The Lounge Bar on the ground floor extends onto two open-air terraces either side of the entrance to the restaurant, so good outside space.

Hotel Negresco, Nice
The hotel brings historic and contemporary together. Equipped and personalized with exceptional period furniture, each one of the 96 rooms and 21 suites draws its inspiration from French art periods. From Louis XIII style to modern art, five centuries of history are represented. Every room and suite is equipped with CD TV and wifi access.
The hotel only has 9 meeting rooms and they are not that large, great views of the sea though. The Reception area is a big white space and can be hired for functions although they do need to vet the clients before agreeing to allow people to hire the facilities, it feels like a museum when you walk in. The bar feels like an old gentleman’s club and quite dark in design. The owner lives in the hotel on the top floor. La Rotonde restaurant has horses from a carousel within it, aiming more towards families.

Mercure, Promenade de Anglais, Nice
The front door is not very welcoming it reminds me of a back packing hotel, great location in the heart of the centre of Nice. Close to the flower market.

Recently opened NOBU restaurant within the hotel. In the gym they offer a hire sports gear to use whilst at the hotel and leave behind when finished, to avoid people bringing their gym kit in their suitcases. Hairdryer in the bathroom that needs to be held all the time to work.
Hotel Hermitage, Monte Carlo
Much larger than I first thought, I was under the impression it was a boutique hotel. How wrong I was, stunning main meeting room, although it does have pillars but very art deco. Steeped in history, the original driveway the horse and carts used in the 1900’s when the hotel was built is still part of the hotel, although it’s now covered over and modernised to a very high standard. Designed by Mr Eiffel after he finished another impressive structure in Paris!
The Belle Epoque outside terrace overlooks Monte Carlo harbour with stunning views. Crystal Bar is not used much in the summer, used more in the winter months with a roaring fire. Classic bedrooms are of a good standard and a nice size which would be used for groups. Able to take 3 coaches outside for groups all at the same time into the separate conference entrance to the side of the main hotel. Heavy hairdryer that needs to be held all the time to make it work.
Hotel de Paris, Monte Carlo
It does scream opulence when you walk into the foyer of the hotel. Very impressive chandelier in the Reception area. It has a 3 star Michelin restaurant with Alain Ducasse at Louis XIV, which has a waiting list to dine at. The largest meeting rooms is the La Salle Empire with an outside terrace which overlooks Casino Square.
The hotel is due to start a refurbishment programme in September but the hotel will remain open as it will be done in stages. The American bar was like an old gentleman’s club just off the Reception, although the views were impressive. Would be good venue for a gala or offsite dinner.
Casino de Monaco
The only casino in the world to have a clock in it. Steeped in history. Secluded private rooms for people who want to gamble with more than 1 million euro’s. Orange tables have been proven to make people spend more, these are used for high stakes gambling.
Outside space or inside space could be used for an offsite activity with opportunity to teach people how to gamble properly. They host dinners, concerts and tours which would be great for groups.
Monte Carlo Bay, Monte Carlo
A modern hotel with quirky designs and a seat in the lift. Separate entrance for conferences with floor to ceiling windows in the meeting rooms and really useful tea/coffee cupboards that are portable and flexible that house everything you need for meetings. Suites on the 10th floor could be used for meeting rooms as they have a downstairs lounge area and the bedroom is upstairs.
Opera Garnier is attached to the hotel, which hosts many international concerts but can be hired for large conferences, can change from indoor theatre to outdoor if required. Has an indoor and outdoor pool as well as a Lagoon, several outside spaces for drinks receptions. Modern hotel.
Monte Carlo Beach Resort, Monte Carlo
A stunning hotel built right on the water’s edge, part of Relais & Chateaux, it is pure luxury. Stunning 20’s art deco pictures adorn the walls, they cannot build any more floors on the hotel as its listed and therefore they refurbished what they had and reduced the rooms from 46 to just 40 bedrooms and it has a waiting list to visit as they have regular clients who book several times a year.
The first hotel to gain 1 Michelin star for an all-organic restaurant in Elsa. The hotel closes from the end of November until end of March. Great for offsite dinners for smaller groups. Good outside space for drinks receptions or team activities.

Novotel, Monte Carlo Novotel Monte Carlo
The only 3 star hotel in Monte Carlo, I think it could easily be a 4 star hotel but apparently the rulers of Monaco have asked for lesser rated hotels to be available to entice more companies to the principality. It has 218 rooms and they are the same standard as a Novotel in the UK. Some have sofa’s and some have extra amenities dependant on rating.
Small pool area but nice outside space with artificial grass that works, it could be used for tea/coffee breaks during meetings. Most of the meeting space is downstairs with no natural daylight, some of the smaller syndicate rooms do have natural daylight but they face the street. Free wifi throughout the hotel. Refurbishment during the summer months each year.

Lounge and world music, mixed by their resident DJ is a key element of the Buddha Bar experience no matter what country you visit one of the world famous bars. Dining at the Buddha Bar is an experience guaranteed to be full of surprises. You can hire the whole venue or just part for a unique experience for any event. The Lounge Bar on the ground floor extends onto two open-air terraces either side of the entrance to the restaurant, so good outside space.

The hotel brings historic and contemporary together. Equipped and personalized with exceptional period furniture, each one of the 96 rooms and 21 suites draws its inspiration from French art periods. From Louis XIII style to modern art, five centuries of history are represented. Every room and suite is equipped with CD TV and wifi access.
The hotel only has 9 meeting rooms and they are not that large, great views of the sea though. The Reception area is a big white space and can be hired for functions although they do need to vet the clients before agreeing to allow people to hire the facilities, it feels like a museum when you walk in. The bar feels like an old gentleman’s club and quite dark in design. The owner lives in the hotel on the top floor.

The back of the hotel bedrooms are facing apartment blocks. The hotel has 2 restaurants one downstairs from Reception which closes in the summer months to push people onto the rooftop terrace, which has great views in the shade or open sunshine.
Hotel Negresco, Nice
The hotel brings historic and contemporary together. Equipped and personalized with exceptional period furniture, each one of the 96 rooms and 21 suites draws its inspiration from French art periods. From Louis XIII style to modern art, five centuries of history are represented. Every room and suite is equipped with CD TV and wifi access.
The hotel only has 9 meeting rooms and they are not that large, great views of the sea though. The Reception area is a big white space and can be hired for functions although they do need to vet the clients before agreeing to allow people to hire the facilities, it feels like a museum when you walk in. The bar feels like an old gentleman’s club and quite dark in design. The owner lives in the hotel on the top floor. La Rotonde restaurant has horses from a carousel within it, aiming more towards families.
Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée – Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Mediterranee
A very impressive hotel where you can host a convention for 1,000 or a small board meeting for 10 people. The Venetian room and event facilities with more than 1700 square meters of space that can be split into 7 private rooms, all bar one has natural daylight. One has a sea view. Free wifi throughout. It has 187 bedrooms and suites, some with views of Nice town centre and the others all with sea views. The swimming pool is indoor and outdoor, so take your pick, along with a steam room and sauna.
Located on the sea front on the Promenade des Anglais, directly above the Casino. Outside space inside the hotel within the façade which is a listed monument, very nice at night. Would be great for pre-dinner drinks or cocktail parties. Closed for twenty-six years in the late 70’s, the iconic emblem of Nice’s illustrious heritage was opened in January 2004, following a multi-million Euro restoration completed by Concorde Hotels & Resorts.
Mercure, Promenade de Anglais, Nice
The front door is not very welcoming it reminds me of a back packing hotel, great location in the heart of the centre of Nice. Close to the flower market.
It doesn’t have any meeting rooms so no good for events, well there were some meeting rooms but they were not very big. Bedrooms were of an acceptable standard and the suites had great views of the sea. Courtyard views for others.
Beau Rivage, Nice – Beau Rivage Hotel Nice
Very boutiquey hotel, discreet entrance parallel to Promenade des Anglais, 4 meeting rooms, all bar one overlook the Mediterranean sea. Max numbers are 85 theatre style. Latest technology included as is wifi and ADSL. The hotel has 118 bedrooms and Suites and are willing to take groups to almost capacity depending on season.
The hotel feels very arty “A local feel with modernity” were the key words they kept using. Contemporary design, innovating architecture and styled decoration in a world of beige stone, wood, pebbles and linens. Pebbles are everywhere, chairs in Reception, in the bathrooms, cushions, sofa’s, pictures etc.
Sofitel Gatwick Airport –
The hotel is located within Gatwick Airport, directly linked to the North Terminal and minutes away from the South Terminal by Monorail. There are 518 luxury bedrooms and suites which are all 100% non-smoking. The central atrium makes this hotel and restaurants and meeting space lead off this area. The hotel has 11 meeting rooms, most offering natural light and some facing the runway.
Perfect hotel for events that are global and need people flying in from different countries, they can accommodate 300 people across their rooms. Meeting space is great, although the main room doesn’t have natural daylight and all rooms are spread across two floors.
Kerry Walsh took on the Trinity Triple Challenge Site Visits in South of France, visiting some of the most luxurious hotels Monaco has to offer. Read her thoughts on the venues below!
Fairmont Hotel, Monte Carlo.
Situated on the Monte Carlo Formula 1 Grand Prix hairpin bend race track, it’s one of the largest hotels in Europe, boasting 602 guest rooms with three restaurants, a bar, 18 meetings rooms, the main room has an ante room with stunning views out to sea.
The hotel has recently had a 45 million euro’s refurbishment programme. Wifi is chargeable although it was good and quick, costs 19 euro’s per 24 hours. Recently opened NOBU restaurant within the hotel. In the gym they offer a hire sports gear to use whilst at the hotel and leave behind when finished, to avoid people bringing their gym kit in their suitcases. Hairdryer in the bathroom that needs to be held all the time to work.
Hotel Hermitage, Monte Carlo
Much larger than I first thought, I was under the impression it was a boutique hotel. How wrong I was, stunning main meeting room, although it does have pillars but very art deco. Steeped in history, the original driveway the horse and carts used in the 1900’s when the hotel was built is still part of the hotel, although it’s now covered over and modernised to a very high standard. Designed by Mr Eiffel after he finished another impressive structure in Paris!
The Belle Epoque outside terrace overlooks Monte Carlo harbour with stunning views. Crystal Bar is not used much in the summer, used more in the winter months with a roaring fire. Classic bedrooms are of a good standard and a nice size which would be used for groups. Able to take 3 coaches outside for groups all at the same time into the separate conference entrance to the side of the main hotel. Heavy hairdryer that needs to be held all the time to make it work.
Hotel de Paris, Monte Carlo
It does scream opulence when you walk into the foyer of the hotel. Very impressive chandelier in the Reception area. It has a 3 star Michelin restaurant with Alain Ducasse at Louis XIV, which has a waiting list to dine at. The largest meeting rooms is the La Salle Empire with an outside terrace which overlooks Casino Square.
The hotel is due to start a refurbishment programme in September but the hotel will remain open as it will be done in stages. The American bar was like an old gentleman’s club just off the Reception, although the views were impressive. Would be good venue for a gala or offsite dinner.
Casino de Monaco
The only casino in the world to have a clock in it. Steeped in history. Secluded private rooms for people who want to gamble with more than 1 million euro’s. Orange tables have been proven to make people spend more, these are used for high stakes gambling.
Outside space or inside space could be used for an offsite activity with opportunity to teach people how to gamble properly. They host dinners, concerts and tours which would be great for groups.
Monte Carlo Bay, Monte Carlo
A modern hotel with quirky designs and a seat in the lift. Separate entrance for conferences with floor to ceiling windows in the meeting rooms and really useful tea/coffee cupboards that are portable and flexible that house everything you need for meetings. Suites on the 10th floor could be used for meeting rooms as they have a downstairs lounge area and the bedroom is upstairs.
Opera Garnier is attached to the hotel, which hosts many international concerts but can be hired for large conferences, can change from indoor theatre to outdoor if required. Has an indoor and outdoor pool as well as a Lagoon, several outside spaces for drinks receptions. Modern hotel.
Monte Carlo Beach Resort, Monte Carlo
A stunning hotel built right on the water’s edge, part of Relais & Chateaux, it is pure luxury. Stunning 20’s art deco pictures adorn the walls, they cannot build any more floors on the hotel as its listed and therefore they refurbished what they had and reduced the rooms from 46 to just 40 bedrooms and it has a waiting list to visit as they have regular clients who book several times a year.
The first hotel to gain 1 Michelin star for an all-organic restaurant in Elsa. The hotel closes from the end of November until end of March. Great for offsite dinners for smaller groups. Good outside space for drinks receptions or team activities.
Le Meridien Monaco, Monte Carlo
Really busy hotel next door to Monte Carlo Bay Hotel and they work with each other to host larger groups into Monaco .It is the only hotel with its own private beach in Monaco. They have their own dedicated conference centre of 3000sqm of meeting space that is connected to the hotel but can also be separate if needed. 403 rooms and suites.
Reception area is not the best, very busy and not a lot of space during peak times.There is a great ice cream parlour situated on the beach area. Great pool outside the conference centre. All guests given the treat wallet which has savings and offers to use around the hotel.
Novotel, Monte Carlo Novotel Monte Carlo
The only 3 star hotel in Monte Carlo, I think it could easily be a 4 star hotel but apparently the rulers of Monaco have asked for lesser rated hotels to be available to entice more companies to the principality. It has 218 rooms and they are the same standard as a Novotel in the UK. Some have sofa’s and some have extra amenities dependant on rating.
Small pool area but nice outside space with artificial grass that works, it could be used for tea/coffee breaks during meetings. Most of the meeting space is downstairs with no natural daylight, some of the smaller syndicate rooms do have natural daylight but they face the street. Free wifi throughout the hotel. Refurbishment during the summer months each year.
Grimaldi Forum, Monte Carlo Grimaldi Forum Monaco
The Grimaldi Forum is huge and can host up to 3000 participants. With 35000sqm of exhibition space and various meeting rooms, you can hire part or all of the venue. You could host Seminars, congresses, conventions, shows, exhibitions, product launches or gala dinners and various big shows can be held within it. They also work really closely with several hotels located near to the Forum.
The Grimaldi Forum Monaco is one of the first in Europe to obtain ISO 14001: 2004 environmental certification. Smaller meetings may get lost. Lots of underground parking, easy access to the venue. Very versatile space with modern options.
Buddha Bar Monaco
Located in a former concert hall from the early 20th century, this venue successfully combines a historic architectural heritage with a decor inspired by the Orient. Restored and regilded with pilars and cornices beneath a 7-metre high ceiling, the Buddha Bar really does impress.
Lounge and world music, mixed by their resident DJ is a key element of the Buddha Bar experience no matter what country you visit one of the world famous bars. Dining at the Buddha Bar is an experience guaranteed to be full of surprises. You can hire the whole venue or just part for a unique experience for any event. The Lounge Bar on the ground floor extends onto two open-air terraces either side of the entrance to the restaurant, so good outside space.
Marriott Riveria Cap D’Ail Monaco
Located beside the Cap-d’Ail Marina, 10 metres from the border of Monaco and 200 metres from the Cap d’Ail beach. It has 171 rooms and 15 suites, most with a private balcony and sea views.

Casino Square is just a 5-minute drive from the hotel and Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is 26 km away, a free shuttle is provided to the centre of Monaco. Monaco Héliport is a 2-minute drive from the property. Note there is some unfinished building work along the port which guests will see from the views from their rooms.
Le Meridien Nice
The meeting space has 25 different sized ‘modular’ meeting rooms fully equipped with modern technology. All located on the 1st floor just behind Reception. The rooftop terrace and the private Ruhl beach directly across from the hotel are available for seasonal galas, dinners and cocktail parties. The hotel offers 318 rooms and the executive rooms have stunning views across the med.
Great location in the heart of Nice along the Promenade Anglais. Please bear in mind that the hotel is on top of McDonald’s which is very very busy. Swimming pool is incredibly small, only suitable for cooling off rather than swimming.
Radisson Blu, Nice

The Grimaldi Forum Monaco is one of the first in Europe to obtain ISO 14001: 2004 environmental certification. Smaller meetings may get lost. Lots of underground parking, easy access to the venue. Very versatile space with modern options.
Buddha Bar Monaco
Located in a former concert hall from the early 20th century, this venue successfully combines a historic architectural heritage with a decor inspired by the Orient. Restored and regilded with pilars and cornices beneath a 7-metre high ceiling, the Buddha Bar really does impress.
Lounge and world music, mixed by their resident DJ is a key element of the Buddha Bar experience no matter what country you visit one of the world famous bars. Dining at the Buddha Bar is an experience guaranteed to be full of surprises. You can hire the whole venue or just part for a unique experience for any event. The Lounge Bar on the ground floor extends onto two open-air terraces either side of the entrance to the restaurant, so good outside space.

Great location in the heart of Nice along the Promenade Anglais. Please bear in mind that the hotel is on top of McDonald’s which is very very busy. Swimming pool is incredibly small, only suitable for cooling off rather than swimming.
Radisson Blu, Nice
The hotel has 14 different sized meeting rooms, well suited for any business meeting or event. Amenities include a stunning rooftop terrace, 331 bedrooms so great for groups. Located on the Promenade D’Anglais nearer to the airport rather than the centre of Nice. Rooms are designed in Ocean, Chilli or Urban styles. The chillirooms have a huge chilli on the wall. Stunning views from the sea view rooms.
The back of the hotel bedrooms are facing apartment blocks. The hotel has 2 restaurants one downstairs from Reception which closes in the summer months to push people onto the rooftop terrace, which has great views in the shade or open sunshine.
Hotel Negresco, Nice
The hotel brings historic and contemporary together. Equipped and personalized with exceptional period furniture, each one of the 96 rooms and 21 suites draws its inspiration from French art periods. From Louis XIII style to modern art, five centuries of history are represented. Every room and suite is equipped with CD TV and wifi access.
The hotel only has 9 meeting rooms and they are not that large, great views of the sea though. The Reception area is a big white space and can be hired for functions although they do need to vet the clients before agreeing to allow people to hire the facilities, it feels like a museum when you walk in. The bar feels like an old gentleman’s club and quite dark in design. The owner lives in the hotel on the top floor. La Rotonde restaurant has horses from a carousel within it, aiming more towards families.
Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée – Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Mediterranee

Located on the sea front on the Promenade des Anglais, directly above the Casino. Outside space inside the hotel within the façade which is a listed monument, very nice at night. Would be great for pre-dinner drinks or cocktail parties. Closed for twenty-six years in the late 70’s, the iconic emblem of Nice’s illustrious heritage was opened in January 2004, following a multi-million Euro restoration completed by Concorde Hotels & Resorts.
Mercure, Promenade de Anglais, Nice
The front door is not very welcoming it reminds me of a back packing hotel, great location in the heart of the centre of Nice. Close to the flower market.
It doesn’t have any meeting rooms so no good for events, well there were some meeting rooms but they were not very big. Bedrooms were of an acceptable standard and the suites had great views of the sea. Courtyard views for others.

Pebbles are everywhere, chairs in Reception, in the bathrooms, cushions, sofa’s, pictures etc.

This is a good training room or meeting room with breakouts. Lunch and breaks can be served there, so meetings can have their own private part of the hotel. The hotel is traditional in style. The club bedrooms have their own balconies.
The decor of this venue is tired, however, they are about to start refurbishment which will take at least a year, so be completed by the end of 2015. The hotel has a large amount of meeting space, but only 122 bedrooms, so works with the Copthorne London Gatwick for overflow accommodation (3 mins by car)
Hickstead Hotel

Copthorne London Gatwick
This hotel is traditional in style and has recently been refurbished. It has some nice meeting rooms, with natural daylight and there are four dining outlets, so they can offer variation with lunches and dinners.

This is probably the best management training centre that I have visited. The environment was very pleasant and conducive to work. As it is not a hotel there is never an overlap with leisure guests. The staff were very welcoming and efficient and gave me an excellent sandwich lunch, with very fresh ingredients. If there is a large meeting and extra accommodation is needed, they use the Arora Gatwick.

I really enjoyed my visit to this management training centre. it is 5 minutes from the M23, just south of Gatwick. It is modern, bright and welcoming – a great place to have a meeting, conference or training event. It is not open to the public, so the clients are only there to work. Roffey is set in 40 acres of grounds and backs on to forest so it is peaceful and you have a feeling of space. There are paths around the grounds, lots of seating and areas for team building. It has a lovely indoor pool or you can borrow a bike to get some exercise. All meeting rooms are light and airy with natural daylight and all rooms on the ground floor open to the garden, so they have their own outside area. There are two restaurants which can be open, secluded or have private areas. There are 60 bedrooms, 10 of which are twins, in one wing of the property. They are plain, so designed for work, but have everything you need.

There are bedrooms in the old part of the hotel and a newer wing. There is refurbishment going on at the moment. The head chef is Stephen Edwards, who won Masterchef in 2014, consequently the hotel is popular with leisure guests.
I really enjoyed my visit to this management training centre. it is 5 minutes from the M23, just south of Gatwick. It is modern, bright and welcoming – a great place to have a meeting, conference or training event. It is not open to the public, so the clients are only there to work. Roffey is set in 40 acres of grounds and backs on to forest so it is peaceful and you have a feeling of space. There are paths around the grounds, lots of seating and areas for team building. It has a lovely indoor pool or you can borrow a bike to get some exercise. All meeting rooms are light and airy with natural daylight and all rooms on the ground floor open to the garden, so they have their own outside area. There are two restaurants which can be open, secluded or have private areas. There are 60 bedrooms, 10 of which are twins, in one wing of the property. They are plain, so designed for work, but have everything you need.
This is probably the best management training centre that I have visited. The environment was very pleasant and conducive to work. As it is not a hotel there is never an overlap with leisure guests. The staff were very welcoming and efficient and gave me an excellent sandwich lunch, with very fresh ingredients. If there is a large meeting and extra accommodation is needed, they use the Arora Gatwick.
Sofitel London Gatwick
This does not feel like an airport hotel. The entrance has a bright atrium and was quiet and calm on the day that I visited. The hotel has 518 bedrooms and 11 meeting rooms that can be divided into 14 smaller ones. There are lots of areas of casual seating areas and a bar which can be privatised or used as a casual break out area. The restaurant has two rosettes, has a private room for 42 or can be privatised for 100 people. The largest meeting room is on the ground floor with its own reception are and bar. This is the only room without natural daylight, the others have large windows or two have secondary light from the atrium, they were all bright with high ceilings.
There is a very interesting room on the lower ground floor, with daylight and its own entrance. It was used as an airline lounge and has a sunken seating area, fireplace, bar and room previously used for computers. It is flexible space and can be used for a completely private meeting, with dining in the same room, or parties, meetings with break out areas. The largest residential group that this hotel can take is 240/250 people.
Copthorne London Gatwick
This hotel is traditional in style and has recently been refurbished. It has some nice meeting rooms, with natural daylight and there are four dining outlets, so they can offer variation with lunches and dinners. The Lion d’Or a la carte restaurant has semi-private dining for 8 people. The garden is lovely and there is good outdoor space for breaks or BBQ.
Although there are 227 bedrooms the maximum size residential group is 100 people. The largest room can take 100 theatre style, but is more frequently used for dinners or weddings than meetings, as it has a bar in the corner and dance floor covered with carpet. It has pillars and the natural daylight is from a skylight which has a retractable blackout blind
Copthorne Effingham Gatwick
The largest meeting room is an oval room with large windows either side and takes 650 people with stage and back projection. It is in a separate building, but opposite reception and with a walkway from the hotel on the 1st floor. There are no pillars and a high ceiling, so can be used as blank canvass space. The remaining smaller rooms are in different parts of the hotel. The Wellingtonia suite has been refurbished and consists of 4 joining rooms, with its own terrace overlooking the garden. This is a good training room or meeting room with breakouts. Lunch and breaks can be served there, so meetings can have their own private part of the hotel. The hotel is traditional in style. The club bedrooms have their own balconies.
The decor of this venue is tired, however, they are about to start refurbishment which will take at least a year, so be completed by the end of 2015. The hotel has a large amount of meeting space, but only 122 bedrooms, so works with the Copthorne London Gatwick for overflow accommodation (3 mins by car)
Hickstead Hotel
A 3* hotel that is better inside than it looks from the approach. The reception and meeting rooms are in the old part of the building and there is a newer wing with 54 bedrooms. The main meeting room is on the ground floor with access to a gravel garden, which can be used for breaks or lunch if the weather is good. There are two boardrooms in another area of the hotel on separate floors.
A good hotel for a regional meeting, without getting involved in the traffic of a town and plenty of free parking
South Lodge
Very impressive building and setting. It is a traditional hotel, with wood panneling and tapestries, terraces leading to gardens and views over the Sussex hills. The 12 meeting rooms are in one area of the hotel, on several floors, the largest takes 130 people on rounds. There is a new conference room, the Arundel, which has a fixed U-shaped table for 18 people. Tables in the Pass restaurant have views of the kitchen. It takes 32 for private hire.

Traditional style hotel set in 1,500 acres of grounds with a lake, fountain and lovely views of the Ashdown Forest. It is a 19th century stone mansion, with a spa, golf and they can organise team building events. There are 14 meeting rooms of different sizes, which can be flexible with private dining. The highlight of the building is a converted chapel, which has function rooms on the ground and 1st floor. The ideal size group is 80-100 for this area and it would work well with a meeting on one floor and catering on the other. This would keep the group in one place and would be completely private. There is stained glass at one end of the building and a working organ, so is a spectacular dinner venue.

The 12 meeting rooms are in one area of the hotel, on several floors, the largest takes 130 people on rounds. There is a new conference room, the Arundel, which has a fixed U-shaped table for 18 people. Tables in the Pass restaurant have views of the kitchen. It takes 32 for private hire.
There are bedrooms in the old part of the hotel and a newer wing. There is refurbishment going on at the moment. The head chef is Stephen Edwards, who won Masterchef in 2014, consequently the hotel is popular with leisure guests.
Ashdown Park
Traditional style hotel set in 1,500 acres of grounds with a lake, fountain and lovely views of the Ashdown Forest. It is a 19th century stone mansion, with a spa, golf and they can organise team building events. There are 14 meeting rooms of different sizes, which can be flexible with private dining. The highlight of the building is a converted chapel, which has function rooms on the ground and 1st floor. The ideal size group is 80-100 for this area and it would work well with a meeting on one floor and catering on the other. This would keep the group in one place and would be completely private. There is stained glass at one end of the building and a working organ, so is a spectacular dinner venue.
I stayed the night here and had a lovely large room and it was completely quiet, although there was a wedding reception in the hotel that evening. I ate in the Anderida Restaurant, the food, service and all the staff were excellent.
Roffey Park
I really enjoyed my visit to this management training centre. it is 5 minutes from the M23, just south of Gatwick. It is modern, bright and welcoming – a great place to have a meeting, conference or training event. It is not open to the public, so the clients are only there to work. Roffey is set in 40 acres of grounds and backs on to forest so it is peaceful and you have a feeling of space. There are paths around the grounds, lots of seating and areas for team building. It has a lovely indoor pool or you can borrow a bike to get some exercise. All meeting rooms are light and airy with natural daylight and all rooms on the ground floor open to the garden, so they have their own outside area. There are two restaurants which can be open, secluded or have private areas. There are 60 bedrooms, 10 of which are twins, in one wing of the property. They are plain, so designed for work, but have everything you need.
This is probably the best management training centre that I have visited. The environment was very pleasant and conducive to work. As it is not a hotel there is never an overlap with leisure guests. The staff were very welcoming and efficient and gave me an excellent sandwich lunch, with very fresh ingredients. If there is a large meeting and extra accommodation is needed, they use the Arora Gatwick.
Sofitel London Gatwick
This does not feel like an airport hotel. The entrance has a bright atrium and was quiet and calm on the day that I visited. The hotel has 518 bedrooms and 11 meeting rooms that can be divided into 14 smaller ones. There are lots of areas of casual seating areas and a bar which can be privatised or used as a casual break out area. The restaurant has two rosettes, has a private room for 42 or can be privatised for 100 people. The largest meeting room is on the ground floor with its own reception are and bar. This is the only room without natural daylight, the others have large windows or two have secondary light from the atrium, they were all bright with high ceilings.
There is a very interesting room on the lower ground floor, with daylight and its own entrance. It was used as an airline lounge and has a sunken seating area, fireplace, bar and room previously used for computers. It is flexible space and can be used for a completely private meeting, with dining in the same room, or parties, meetings with break out areas. The largest residential group that this hotel can take is 240/250 people.
Copthorne London Gatwick
This hotel is traditional in style and has recently been refurbished. It has some nice meeting rooms, with natural daylight and there are four dining outlets, so they can offer variation with lunches and dinners. The Lion d’Or a la carte restaurant has semi-private dining for 8 people. The garden is lovely and there is good outdoor space for breaks or BBQ.
Although there are 227 bedrooms the maximum size residential group is 100 people. The largest room can take 100 theatre style, but is more frequently used for dinners or weddings than meetings, as it has a bar in the corner and dance floor covered with carpet. It has pillars and the natural daylight is from a skylight which has a retractable blackout blind
Copthorne Effingham Gatwick
The largest meeting room is an oval room with large windows either side and takes 650 people with stage and back projection. It is in a separate building, but opposite reception and with a walkway from the hotel on the 1st floor. There are no pillars and a high ceiling, so can be used as blank canvass space. The remaining smaller rooms are in different parts of the hotel. The Wellingtonia suite has been refurbished and consists of 4 joining rooms, with its own terrace overlooking the garden. This is a good training room or meeting room with breakouts. Lunch and breaks can be served there, so meetings can have their own private part of the hotel. The hotel is traditional in style. The club bedrooms have their own balconies.
The decor of this venue is tired, however, they are about to start refurbishment which will take at least a year, so be completed by the end of 2015. The hotel has a large amount of meeting space, but only 122 bedrooms, so works with the Copthorne London Gatwick for overflow accommodation (3 mins by car)
Hickstead Hotel
A 3* hotel that is better inside than it looks from the approach. The reception and meeting rooms are in the old part of the building and there is a newer wing with 54 bedrooms. The main meeting room is on the ground floor with access to a gravel garden, which can be used for breaks or lunch if the weather is good. There are two boardrooms in another area of the hotel on separate floors.
A good hotel for a regional meeting, without getting involved in the traffic of a town and plenty of free parking

The hotel will spend £2m on refurbishment. Bedrooms will be done a floor at a time starting in October 2014 and public areas done after Christmas. The rates are competitive as they recognise that they are not in the centre of town or on the seafront. But if you don’t want to get tangled up in Brighton’s traffic then it is a good option.

There are bedrooms in the old part of the hotel and a newer wing. There is refurbishment going on at the moment. The head chef is Stephen Edwards, who won Masterchef in 2014, consequently the hotel is popular with leisure guests.
Jurys Inn Brighton
4* hotel next to the station, about 10 mins walk to the North Laine area. There are 9 meeting rooms in a dedicated conference area. The largest room has access to a roof terrace and has capacity for 80 in cabaret style. The hotel does well with charities and associations and is fully DDA compliant. Everything was clean and tidy and it appeared to be efficient. All 234 bedrooms have double beds and triple glazed windows. There is free wifi throughout the hotel. There is some complimentary parking or there is a large car park opposite and it is half the price of the ones at the seafront.
The hotel will spend £2m on refurbishment. Bedrooms will be done a floor at a time starting in October 2014 and public areas done after Christmas. The rates are competitive as they recognise that they are not in the centre of town or on the seafront. But if you don’t want to get tangled up in Brighton’s traffic then it is a good option.
Ashdown Park
Traditional style hotel set in 1,500 acres of grounds with a lake, fountain and lovely views of the Ashdown Forest. It is a 19th century stone mansion, with a spa, golf and they can organise team building events. There are 14 meeting rooms of different sizes, which can be flexible with private dining. The highlight of the building is a converted chapel, which has function rooms on the ground and 1st floor. The ideal size group is 80-100 for this area and it would work well with a meeting on one floor and catering on the other. This would keep the group in one place and would be completely private. There is stained glass at one end of the building and a working organ, so is a spectacular dinner venue.
I stayed the night here and had a lovely large room and it was completely quiet, although there was a wedding reception in the hotel that evening. I ate in the Anderida Restaurant, the food, service and all the staff were excellent.
Roffey Park
I really enjoyed my visit to this management training centre. it is 5 minutes from the M23, just south of Gatwick. It is modern, bright and welcoming – a great place to have a meeting, conference or training event. It is not open to the public, so the clients are only there to work. Roffey is set in 40 acres of grounds and backs on to forest so it is peaceful and you have a feeling of space. There are paths around the grounds, lots of seating and areas for team building. It has a lovely indoor pool or you can borrow a bike to get some exercise. All meeting rooms are light and airy with natural daylight and all rooms on the ground floor open to the garden, so they have their own outside area. There are two restaurants which can be open, secluded or have private areas. There are 60 bedrooms, 10 of which are twins, in one wing of the property. They are plain, so designed for work, but have everything you need.
This is probably the best management training centre that I have visited. The environment was very pleasant and conducive to work. As it is not a hotel there is never an overlap with leisure guests. The staff were very welcoming and efficient and gave me an excellent sandwich lunch, with very fresh ingredients. If there is a large meeting and extra accommodation is needed, they use the Arora Gatwick.
Sofitel London Gatwick
This does not feel like an airport hotel. The entrance has a bright atrium and was quiet and calm on the day that I visited. The hotel has 518 bedrooms and 11 meeting rooms that can be divided into 14 smaller ones. There are lots of areas of casual seating areas and a bar which can be privatised or used as a casual break out area. The restaurant has two rosettes, has a private room for 42 or can be privatised for 100 people. The largest meeting room is on the ground floor with its own reception are and bar. This is the only room without natural daylight, the others have large windows or two have secondary light from the atrium, they were all bright with high ceilings.
There is a very interesting room on the lower ground floor, with daylight and its own entrance. It was used as an airline lounge and has a sunken seating area, fireplace, bar and room previously used for computers. It is flexible space and can be used for a completely private meeting, with dining in the same room, or parties, meetings with break out areas. The largest residential group that this hotel can take is 240/250 people.
Copthorne London Gatwick
This hotel is traditional in style and has recently been refurbished. It has some nice meeting rooms, with natural daylight and there are four dining outlets, so they can offer variation with lunches and dinners. The Lion d’Or a la carte restaurant has semi-private dining for 8 people. The garden is lovely and there is good outdoor space for breaks or BBQ.
Although there are 227 bedrooms the maximum size residential group is 100 people. The largest room can take 100 theatre style, but is more frequently used for dinners or weddings than meetings, as it has a bar in the corner and dance floor covered with carpet. It has pillars and the natural daylight is from a skylight which has a retractable blackout blind
Copthorne Effingham Gatwick
The largest meeting room is an oval room with large windows either side and takes 650 people with stage and back projection. It is in a separate building, but opposite reception and with a walkway from the hotel on the 1st floor. There are no pillars and a high ceiling, so can be used as blank canvass space. The remaining smaller rooms are in different parts of the hotel. The Wellingtonia suite has been refurbished and consists of 4 joining rooms, with its own terrace overlooking the garden. This is a good training room or meeting room with breakouts. Lunch and breaks can be served there, so meetings can have their own private part of the hotel. The hotel is traditional in style. The club bedrooms have their own balconies.
The decor of this venue is tired, however, they are about to start refurbishment which will take at least a year, so be completed by the end of 2015. The hotel has a large amount of meeting space, but only 122 bedrooms, so works with the Copthorne London Gatwick for overflow accommodation (3 mins by car)
Hickstead Hotel
A 3* hotel that is better inside than it looks from the approach. The reception and meeting rooms are in the old part of the building and there is a newer wing with 54 bedrooms. The main meeting room is on the ground floor with access to a gravel garden, which can be used for breaks or lunch if the weather is good. There are two boardrooms in another area of the hotel on separate floors.
A good hotel for a regional meeting, without getting involved in the traffic of a town and plenty of free parking
South Lodge
Very impressive building and setting. It is a traditional hotel, with wood panneling and tapestries, terraces leading to gardens and views over the Sussex hills. The 12 meeting rooms are in one area of the hotel, on several floors, the largest takes 130 people on rounds.

In the north Laine area of the city, next to the theatre and Pavilion. It is 6 years old and very contemporary with lots of white, pink and green decoration. There are crystals for Feng Shui and they have used local designers and source local products. It is run on eco-friendly principals with organic tea, chocolate etc and they recycle. Jubilee Square is on one side of the hotel and something happens there all the time. When I visited it was covered in astroturf and 4 table tennis tables were set up for anyone to use. Next month a large converted vintage car will be parked where people can go and watch a film. Then it will change to sculpture. There are only 2 meeting rooms and the maximum capacity of the larger room is 50 people, but fewer would be better. Both are white, bright rooms with natural daylight and air conditioning. Lunch is either served in the meeting room or 10 people can have a cold buffet in the bar. The hotel bar is a destination, and they can allocate a semi-private area for 50 people.

The rates are competitive as they recognise that they are not in the centre of town or on the seafront. But if you don’t want to get tangled up in Brighton’s traffic then it is a good option.
Ashdown Park
Traditional style hotel set in 1,500 acres of grounds with a lake, fountain and lovely views of the Ashdown Forest. It is a 19th century stone mansion, with a spa, golf and they can organise team building events. There are 14 meeting rooms of different sizes, which can be flexible with private dining. The highlight of the building is a converted chapel, which has function rooms on the ground and 1st floor. The ideal size group is 80-100 for this area and it would work well with a meeting on one floor and catering on the other. This would keep the group in one place and would be completely private. There is stained glass at one end of the building and a working organ, so is a spectacular dinner venue.
I stayed the night here and had a lovely large room and it was completely quiet, although there was a wedding reception in the hotel that evening. I ate in the Anderida Restaurant, the food, service and all the staff were excellent.
Roffey Park
I really enjoyed my visit to this management training centre. it is 5 minutes from the M23, just south of Gatwick. It is modern, bright and welcoming – a great place to have a meeting, conference or training event. It is not open to the public, so the clients are only there to work. Roffey is set in 40 acres of grounds and backs on to forest so it is peaceful and you have a feeling of space. There are paths around the grounds, lots of seating and areas for team building. It has a lovely indoor pool or you can borrow a bike to get some exercise. All meeting rooms are light and airy with natural daylight and all rooms on the ground floor open to the garden, so they have their own outside area. There are two restaurants which can be open, secluded or have private areas. There are 60 bedrooms, 10 of which are twins, in one wing of the property. They are plain, so designed for work, but have everything you need.
This is probably the best management training centre that I have visited. The environment was very pleasant and conducive to work. As it is not a hotel there is never an overlap with leisure guests. The staff were very welcoming and efficient and gave me an excellent sandwich lunch, with very fresh ingredients. If there is a large meeting and extra accommodation is needed, they use the Arora Gatwick.
Sofitel London Gatwick
This does not feel like an airport hotel. The entrance has a bright atrium and was quiet and calm on the day that I visited. The hotel has 518 bedrooms and 11 meeting rooms that can be divided into 14 smaller ones. There are lots of areas of casual seating areas and a bar which can be privatised or used as a casual break out area. The restaurant has two rosettes, has a private room for 42 or can be privatised for 100 people. The largest meeting room is on the ground floor with its own reception are and bar. This is the only room without natural daylight, the others have large windows or two have secondary light from the atrium, they were all bright with high ceilings.
There is a very interesting room on the lower ground floor, with daylight and its own entrance. It was used as an airline lounge and has a sunken seating area, fireplace, bar and room previously used for computers. It is flexible space and can be used for a completely private meeting, with dining in the same room, or parties, meetings with break out areas. The largest residential group that this hotel can take is 240/250 people.
Copthorne London Gatwick
This hotel is traditional in style and has recently been refurbished. It has some nice meeting rooms, with natural daylight and there are four dining outlets, so they can offer variation with lunches and dinners. The Lion d’Or a la carte restaurant has semi-private dining for 8 people. The garden is lovely and there is good outdoor space for breaks or BBQ.
Although there are 227 bedrooms the maximum size residential group is 100 people. The largest room can take 100 theatre style, but is more frequently used for dinners or weddings than meetings, as it has a bar in the corner and dance floor covered with carpet. It has pillars and the natural daylight is from a skylight which has a retractable blackout blind
Copthorne Effingham Gatwick
The largest meeting room is an oval room with large windows either side and takes 650 people with stage and back projection. It is in a separate building, but opposite reception and with a walkway from the hotel on the 1st floor. There are no pillars and a high ceiling, so can be used as blank canvass space. The remaining smaller rooms are in different parts of the hotel. The Wellingtonia suite has been refurbished and consists of 4 joining rooms, with its own terrace overlooking the garden. This is a good training room or meeting room with breakouts. Lunch and breaks can be served there, so meetings can have their own private part of the hotel. The hotel is traditional in style. The club bedrooms have their own balconies.
The decor of this venue is tired, however, they are about to start refurbishment which will take at least a year, so be completed by the end of 2015. The hotel has a large amount of meeting space, but only 122 bedrooms, so works with the Copthorne London Gatwick for overflow accommodation (3 mins by car)
Hickstead Hotel
A 3* hotel that is better inside than it looks from the approach. The reception and meeting rooms are in the old part of the building and there is a newer wing with 54 bedrooms. The main meeting room is on the ground floor with access to a gravel garden, which can be used for breaks or lunch if the weather is good. There are two boardrooms in another area of the hotel on separate floors.
A good hotel for a regional meeting, without getting involved in the traffic of a town and plenty of free parking
South Lodge
Very impressive building and setting. It is a traditional hotel, with wood panneling and tapestries, terraces leading to gardens and views over the Sussex hills. The 12 meeting rooms are in one area of the hotel, on several floors, the largest takes 130 people on rounds. There is a new conference room, the Arundel, which has a fixed U-shaped table for 18 people. Tables in the Pass restaurant have views of the kitchen. It takes 32 for private hire.
There are bedrooms in the old part of the hotel and a newer wing. There is refurbishment going on at the moment. The head chef is Stephen Edwards, who won Masterchef in 2014, consequently the hotel is popular with leisure guests.
Myhotel Brighton
In the north Laine area of the city, next to the theatre and Pavilion. It is 6 years old and very contemporary with lots of white, pink and green decoration. There are crystals for Feng Shui and they have used local designers and source local products. It is run on eco-friendly principals with organic tea, chocolate etc and they recycle. Jubilee Square is on one side of the hotel and something happens there all the time. When I visited it was covered in astroturf and 4 table tennis tables were set up for anyone to use. Next month a large converted vintage car will be parked where people can go and watch a film. Then it will change to sculpture. There are only 2 meeting rooms and the maximum capacity of the larger room is 50 people, but fewer would be better. Both are white, bright rooms with natural daylight and air conditioning. Lunch is either served in the meeting room or 10 people can have a cold buffet in the bar. The hotel bar is a destination, and they can allocate a semi-private area for 50 people. It is a fun hotel, there is a photo booth in the bar area and you get a token with drinks. The bedrooms have a disposable camera and if you use it and leave it in the room, the hotel will send the developed pictures later. There are 80 bedrooms, all double beds and all with showers. They have wifi, dvd players and you can plug your iphone into the bedroom’s sound system. Signature rooms are on the corners and are all different in style. here is an Indian restaurant on site, run by an external company, tables need to be booked directly, but they will allocate a semi private area for a group from the hotel.
The hotel has a small underground car park and can allocate 10 spaces for meeting attendees, or there are NCP car parks nearby. Myhotel is probably not to everyone’s taste, it is very lively and fashionable. They do well with the IT, comms and travel industries.
Jurys Inn Brighton
4* hotel next to the station, about 10 mins walk to the North Laine area. There are 9 meeting rooms in a dedicated conference area. The largest room has access to a roof terrace and has capacity for 80 in cabaret style. The hotel does well with charities and associations and is fully DDA compliant. Everything was clean and tidy and it appeared to be efficient. All 234 bedrooms have double beds and triple glazed windows. There is free wifi throughout the hotel. There is some complimentary parking or there is a large car park opposite and it is half the price of the ones at the seafront.

4* hotel which is 150 years old and traditional in style. It is on the seafront in the direction of Hove. It looks a bit tired and needs some money spent. There are a variety of styles, carpets, paintwork etc. There are 7 meeting rooms and the largest takes 180 theatre-style. The meeting rooms are scattered around the hotel and accessed by corridors and stairs so not DDA compliant. The meeting rooms have air conditioning, but bedrooms do not. The largest room is the Ballroom on the ground floor which was refurbished in October 2013 and takes 180 theatre-style or 80 cabaret-style. There are two pillars at the side of the room and chandeliers.
The hotel has 12 parking spaces at the front and 30 at the back available on a first-come first-served basis. The nearest car parks are a 10 minute walk.
Myhotel Brighton
In the north Laine area of the city, next to the theatre and Pavilion. It is 6 years old and very contemporary with lots of white, pink and green decoration. There are crystals for Feng Shui and they have used local designers and source local products. It is run on eco-friendly principals with organic tea, chocolate etc and they recycle. Jubilee Square is on one side of the hotel and something happens there all the time. When I visited it was covered in astroturf and 4 table tennis tables were set up for anyone to use. Next month a large converted vintage car will be parked where people can go and watch a film. Then it will change to sculpture. There are only 2 meeting rooms and the maximum capacity of the larger room is 50 people, but fewer would be better. Both are white, bright rooms with natural daylight and air conditioning. Lunch is either served in the meeting room or 10 people can have a cold buffet in the bar. The hotel bar is a destination, and they can allocate a semi-private area for 50 people. It is a fun hotel, there is a photo booth in the bar area and you get a token with drinks. The bedrooms have a disposable camera and if you use it and leave it in the room, the hotel will send the developed pictures later. There are 80 bedrooms, all double beds and all with showers. They have wifi, dvd players and you can plug your iphone into the bedroom’s sound system. Signature rooms are on the corners and are all different in style. here is an Indian restaurant on site, run by an external company, tables need to be booked directly, but they will allocate a semi private area for a group from the hotel.
The hotel has a small underground car park and can allocate 10 spaces for meeting attendees, or there are NCP car parks nearby. Myhotel is probably not to everyone’s taste, it is very lively and fashionable. They do well with the IT, comms and travel industries.
Jurys Inn Brighton
4* hotel next to the station, about 10 mins walk to the North Laine area. There are 9 meeting rooms in a dedicated conference area. The largest room has access to a roof terrace and has capacity for 80 in cabaret style. The hotel does well with charities and associations and is fully DDA compliant. Everything was clean and tidy and it appeared to be efficient. All 234 bedrooms have double beds and triple glazed windows. There is free wifi throughout the hotel. There is some complimentary parking or there is a large car park opposite and it is half the price of the ones at the seafront.
The hotel will spend £2m on refurbishment. Bedrooms will be done a floor at a time starting in October 2014 and public areas done after Christmas. The rates are competitive as they recognise that they are not in the centre of town or on the seafront. But if you don’t want to get tangled up in Brighton’s traffic then it is a good option.
Ashdown Park
Traditional style hotel set in 1,500 acres of grounds with a lake, fountain and lovely views of the Ashdown Forest. It is a 19th century stone mansion, with a spa, golf and they can organise team building events. There are 14 meeting rooms of different sizes, which can be flexible with private dining. The highlight of the building is a converted chapel, which has function rooms on the ground and 1st floor. The ideal size group is 80-100 for this area and it would work well with a meeting on one floor and catering on the other. This would keep the group in one place and would be completely private. There is stained glass at one end of the building and a working organ, so is a spectacular dinner venue.
I stayed the night here and had a lovely large room and it was completely quiet, although there was a wedding reception in the hotel that evening. I ate in the Anderida Restaurant, the food, service and all the staff were excellent.
Roffey Park
I really enjoyed my visit to this management training centre. it is 5 minutes from the M23, just south of Gatwick. It is modern, bright and welcoming – a great place to have a meeting, conference or training event. It is not open to the public, so the clients are only there to work. Roffey is set in 40 acres of grounds and backs on to forest so it is peaceful and you have a feeling of space. There are paths around the grounds, lots of seating and areas for team building. It has a lovely indoor pool or you can borrow a bike to get some exercise. All meeting rooms are light and airy with natural daylight and all rooms on the ground floor open to the garden, so they have their own outside area. There are two restaurants which can be open, secluded or have private areas. There are 60 bedrooms, 10 of which are twins, in one wing of the property. They are plain, so designed for work, but have everything you need.
This is probably the best management training centre that I have visited. The environment was very pleasant and conducive to work. As it is not a hotel there is never an overlap with leisure guests. The staff were very welcoming and efficient and gave me an excellent sandwich lunch, with very fresh ingredients. If there is a large meeting and extra accommodation is needed, they use the Arora Gatwick.
Sofitel London Gatwick
This does not feel like an airport hotel. The entrance has a bright atrium and was quiet and calm on the day that I visited. The hotel has 518 bedrooms and 11 meeting rooms that can be divided into 14 smaller ones. There are lots of areas of casual seating areas and a bar which can be privatised or used as a casual break out area. The restaurant has two rosettes, has a private room for 42 or can be privatised for 100 people. The largest meeting room is on the ground floor with its own reception are and bar. This is the only room without natural daylight, the others have large windows or two have secondary light from the atrium, they were all bright with high ceilings.
There is a very interesting room on the lower ground floor, with daylight and its own entrance. It was used as an airline lounge and has a sunken seating area, fireplace, bar and room previously used for computers. It is flexible space and can be used for a completely private meeting, with dining in the same room, or parties, meetings with break out areas. The largest residential group that this hotel can take is 240/250 people.
Copthorne London Gatwick
This hotel is traditional in style and has recently been refurbished. It has some nice meeting rooms, with natural daylight and there are four dining outlets, so they can offer variation with lunches and dinners. The Lion d’Or a la carte restaurant has semi-private dining for 8 people. The garden is lovely and there is good outdoor space for breaks or BBQ.
Although there are 227 bedrooms the maximum size residential group is 100 people. The largest room can take 100 theatre style, but is more frequently used for dinners or weddings than meetings, as it has a bar in the corner and dance floor covered with carpet. It has pillars and the natural daylight is from a skylight which has a retractable blackout blind
Copthorne Effingham Gatwick
The largest meeting room is an oval room with large windows either side and takes 650 people with stage and back projection. It is in a separate building, but opposite reception and with a walkway from the hotel on the 1st floor. There are no pillars and a high ceiling, so can be used as blank canvass space. The remaining smaller rooms are in different parts of the hotel. The Wellingtonia suite has been refurbished and consists of 4 joining rooms, with its own terrace overlooking the garden. This is a good training room or meeting room with breakouts. Lunch and breaks can be served there, so meetings can have their own private part of the hotel. The hotel is traditional in style. The club bedrooms have their own balconies.
The decor of this venue is tired, however, they are about to start refurbishment which will take at least a year, so be completed by the end of 2015. The hotel has a large amount of meeting space, but only 122 bedrooms, so works with the Copthorne London Gatwick for overflow accommodation (3 mins by car)
Hickstead Hotel
A 3* hotel that is better inside than it looks from the approach. The reception and meeting rooms are in the old part of the building and there is a newer wing with 54 bedrooms. The main meeting room is on the ground floor with access to a gravel garden, which can be used for breaks or lunch if the weather is good. There are two boardrooms in another area of the hotel on separate floors.
A good hotel for a regional meeting, without getting involved in the traffic of a town and plenty of free parking
South Lodge
Very impressive building and setting. It is a traditional hotel, with wood panneling and tapestries, terraces leading to gardens and views over the Sussex hills. The 12 meeting rooms are in one area of the hotel, on several floors, the largest takes 130 people on rounds. There is a new conference room, the Arundel, which has a fixed U-shaped table for 18 people. Tables in the Pass restaurant have views of the kitchen. It takes 32 for private hire.
There are bedrooms in the old part of the hotel and a newer wing. There is refurbishment going on at the moment. The head chef is Stephen Edwards, who won Masterchef in 2014, consequently the hotel is popular with leisure guests.

It is a 19th century stone mansion, with a spa, golf and they can organise team building events. There are 14 meeting rooms of different sizes, which can be flexible with private dining. The highlight of the building is a converted chapel, which has function rooms on the ground and 1st floor. The ideal size group is 80-100 for this area and it would work well with a meeting on one floor and catering on the other. This would keep the group in one place and would be completely private. There is stained glass at one end of the building and a working organ, so is a spectacular dinner venue.
I stayed the night here and had a lovely large room and it was completely quiet, although there was a wedding reception in the hotel that evening. I ate in the Anderida Restaurant, the food, service and all the staff were excellent.
Roffey Park
I really enjoyed my visit to this management training centre. it is 5 minutes from the M23, just south of Gatwick. It is modern, bright and welcoming – a great place to have a meeting, conference or training event. It is not open to the public, so the clients are only there to work. Roffey is set in 40 acres of grounds and backs on to forest so it is peaceful and you have a feeling of space. There are paths around the grounds, lots of seating and areas for team building. It has a lovely indoor pool or you can borrow a bike to get some exercise. All meeting rooms are light and airy with natural daylight and all rooms on the ground floor open to the garden, so they have their own outside area. There are two restaurants which can be open, secluded or have private areas. There are 60 bedrooms, 10 of which are twins, in one wing of the property. They are plain, so designed for work, but have everything you need.
This is probably the best management training centre that I have visited. The environment was very pleasant and conducive to work. As it is not a hotel there is never an overlap with leisure guests. The staff were very welcoming and efficient and gave me an excellent sandwich lunch, with very fresh ingredients. If there is a large meeting and extra accommodation is needed, they use the Arora Gatwick.
Sofitel London Gatwick
This does not feel like an airport hotel. The entrance has a bright atrium and was quiet and calm on the day that I visited. The hotel has 518 bedrooms and 11 meeting rooms that can be divided into 14 smaller ones. There are lots of areas of casual seating areas and a bar which can be privatised or used as a casual break out area. The restaurant has two rosettes, has a private room for 42 or can be privatised for 100 people. The largest meeting room is on the ground floor with its own reception are and bar. This is the only room without natural daylight, the others have large windows or two have secondary light from the atrium, they were all bright with high ceilings.
There is a very interesting room on the lower ground floor, with daylight and its own entrance. It was used as an airline lounge and has a sunken seating area, fireplace, bar and room previously used for computers. It is flexible space and can be used for a completely private meeting, with dining in the same room, or parties, meetings with break out areas. The largest residential group that this hotel can take is 240/250 people.
Copthorne London Gatwick
This hotel is traditional in style and has recently been refurbished. It has some nice meeting rooms, with natural daylight and there are four dining outlets, so they can offer variation with lunches and dinners. The Lion d’Or a la carte restaurant has semi-private dining for 8 people. The garden is lovely and there is good outdoor space for breaks or BBQ.
Although there are 227 bedrooms the maximum size residential group is 100 people. The largest room can take 100 theatre style, but is more frequently used for dinners or weddings than meetings, as it has a bar in the corner and dance floor covered with carpet. It has pillars and the natural daylight is from a skylight which has a retractable blackout blind
Copthorne Effingham Gatwick
The largest meeting room is an oval room with large windows either side and takes 650 people with stage and back projection. It is in a separate building, but opposite reception and with a walkway from the hotel on the 1st floor. There are no pillars and a high ceiling, so can be used as blank canvass space. The remaining smaller rooms are in different parts of the hotel. The Wellingtonia suite has been refurbished and consists of 4 joining rooms, with its own terrace overlooking the garden. This is a good training room or meeting room with breakouts. Lunch and breaks can be served there, so meetings can have their own private part of the hotel. The hotel is traditional in style. The club bedrooms have their own balconies.
The decor of this venue is tired, however, they are about to start refurbishment which will take at least a year, so be completed by the end of 2015. The hotel has a large amount of meeting space, but only 122 bedrooms, so works with the Copthorne London Gatwick for overflow accommodation (3 mins by car)
Hickstead Hotel
A 3* hotel that is better inside than it looks from the approach. The reception and meeting rooms are in the old part of the building and there is a newer wing with 54 bedrooms. The main meeting room is on the ground floor with access to a gravel garden, which can be used for breaks or lunch if the weather is good. There are two boardrooms in another area of the hotel on separate floors.
A good hotel for a regional meeting, without getting involved in the traffic of a town and plenty of free parking
South Lodge
Very impressive building and setting. It is a traditional hotel, with wood panneling and tapestries, terraces leading to gardens and views over the Sussex hills. The 12 meeting rooms are in one area of the hotel, on several floors, the largest takes 130 people on rounds. There is a new conference room, the Arundel, which has a fixed U-shaped table for 18 people. Tables in the Pass restaurant have views of the kitchen. It takes 32 for private hire.
There are bedrooms in the old part of the hotel and a newer wing. There is refurbishment going on at the moment. The head chef is Stephen Edwards, who won Masterchef in 2014, consequently the hotel is popular with leisure guests.
The Noblesse meeting room has a pillar in the middle, but would be good for a group of 30 to use half for a meeting and half for catering or break out space. The hotel is very leisure focussed in the school holidays and has an indoor heated pool, so attracts families. Car parking is in the Lanes NCP and the hotel offers 15% discount.
Mercure Brighton
4* hotel which is 150 years old and traditional in style. It is on the seafront in the direction of Hove. It looks a bit tired and needs some money spent. There are a variety of styles, carpets, paintwork etc. There are 7 meeting rooms and the largest takes 180 theatre-style. The meeting rooms are scattered around the hotel and accessed by corridors and stairs so not DDA compliant. The meeting rooms have air conditioning, but bedrooms do not. The largest room is the Ballroom on the ground floor which was refurbished in October 2013 and takes 180 theatre-style or 80 cabaret-style. There are two pillars at the side of the room and chandeliers.
The hotel has 12 parking spaces at the front and 30 at the back available on a first-come first-served basis. The nearest car parks are a 10 minute walk.
Myhotel Brighton
In the north Laine area of the city, next to the theatre and Pavilion. It is 6 years old and very contemporary with lots of white, pink and green decoration. There are crystals for Feng Shui and they have used local designers and source local products. It is run on eco-friendly principals with organic tea, chocolate etc and they recycle. Jubilee Square is on one side of the hotel and something happens there all the time. When I visited it was covered in astroturf and 4 table tennis tables were set up for anyone to use. Next month a large converted vintage car will be parked where people can go and watch a film. Then it will change to sculpture. There are only 2 meeting rooms and the maximum capacity of the larger room is 50 people, but fewer would be better. Both are white, bright rooms with natural daylight and air conditioning. Lunch is either served in the meeting room or 10 people can have a cold buffet in the bar. The hotel bar is a destination, and they can allocate a semi-private area for 50 people. It is a fun hotel, there is a photo booth in the bar area and you get a token with drinks. The bedrooms have a disposable camera and if you use it and leave it in the room, the hotel will send the developed pictures later. There are 80 bedrooms, all double beds and all with showers. They have wifi, dvd players and you can plug your iphone into the bedroom’s sound system. Signature rooms are on the corners and are all different in style. here is an Indian restaurant on site, run by an external company, tables need to be booked directly, but they will allocate a semi private area for a group from the hotel.
The hotel has a small underground car park and can allocate 10 spaces for meeting attendees, or there are NCP car parks nearby. Myhotel is probably not to everyone’s taste, it is very lively and fashionable. They do well with the IT, comms and travel industries.
Jurys Inn Brighton
4* hotel next to the station, about 10 mins walk to the North Laine area. There are 9 meeting rooms in a dedicated conference area. The largest room has access to a roof terrace and has capacity for 80 in cabaret style. The hotel does well with charities and associations and is fully DDA compliant. Everything was clean and tidy and it appeared to be efficient. All 234 bedrooms have double beds and triple glazed windows. There is free wifi throughout the hotel. There is some complimentary parking or there is a large car park opposite and it is half the price of the ones at the seafront.
The hotel will spend £2m on refurbishment. Bedrooms will be done a floor at a time starting in October 2014 and public areas done after Christmas. The rates are competitive as they recognise that they are not in the centre of town or on the seafront. But if you don’t want to get tangled up in Brighton’s traffic then it is a good option.

This is not a good looking hotel from the outside, but was purpose built about 30 years ago as a hotel and does not have the challenges of some of the older properties in Brighton. It is a good location with the sea front is on one side and the Lanes on the other. Inside it is built around an atrium so is bright. All 210 bedrooms are having a soft refurbishment this year. The maximum capacity for a residential group is 180. There are two bars, one which can be used for private receptions and is complimentary for groups of 50+. Most of the meeting space is on the 1st floor. The meeting foyer is shared between all groups, but an area can be sectioned off if required. All the meeting space has air conditioning and only one room does not have natural daylight. The ballroom is on the ground floor and is the only room I have seen with oval tables (not round) which would be good for 6-7 people in cabaret style. Executive bedrooms have sea views or face the Lanes and are good sized rooms. The standard rooms are internal facing to the atrium.

Roffey is set in 40 acres of grounds and backs on to forest so it is peaceful and you have a feeling of space. There are paths around the grounds, lots of seating and areas for team building. It has a lovely indoor pool or you can borrow a bike to get some exercise. All meeting rooms are light and airy with natural daylight and all rooms on the ground floor open to the garden, so they have their own outside area. There are two restaurants which can be open, secluded or have private areas. There are 60 bedrooms, 10 of which are twins, in one wing of the property. They are plain, so designed for work, but have everything you need.
This is probably the best management training centre that I have visited. The environment was very pleasant and conducive to work. As it is not a hotel there is never an overlap with leisure guests. The staff were very welcoming and efficient and gave me an excellent sandwich lunch, with very fresh ingredients. If there is a large meeting and extra accommodation is needed, they use the Arora Gatwick.
Sofitel London Gatwick
This does not feel like an airport hotel. The entrance has a bright atrium and was quiet and calm on the day that I visited. The hotel has 518 bedrooms and 11 meeting rooms that can be divided into 14 smaller ones. There are lots of areas of casual seating areas and a bar which can be privatised or used as a casual break out area. The restaurant has two rosettes, has a private room for 42 or can be privatised for 100 people. The largest meeting room is on the ground floor with its own reception are and bar. This is the only room without natural daylight, the others have large windows or two have secondary light from the atrium, they were all bright with high ceilings.
There is a very interesting room on the lower ground floor, with daylight and its own entrance. It was used as an airline lounge and has a sunken seating area, fireplace, bar and room previously used for computers. It is flexible space and can be used for a completely private meeting, with dining in the same room, or parties, meetings with break out areas. The largest residential group that this hotel can take is 240/250 people.
Copthorne London Gatwick
This hotel is traditional in style and has recently been refurbished. It has some nice meeting rooms, with natural daylight and there are four dining outlets, so they can offer variation with lunches and dinners. The Lion d’Or a la carte restaurant has semi-private dining for 8 people. The garden is lovely and there is good outdoor space for breaks or BBQ.
Although there are 227 bedrooms the maximum size residential group is 100 people. The largest room can take 100 theatre style, but is more frequently used for dinners or weddings than meetings, as it has a bar in the corner and dance floor covered with carpet. It has pillars and the natural daylight is from a skylight which has a retractable blackout blind
Copthorne Effingham Gatwick
The largest meeting room is an oval room with large windows either side and takes 650 people with stage and back projection. It is in a separate building, but opposite reception and with a walkway from the hotel on the 1st floor. There are no pillars and a high ceiling, so can be used as blank canvass space. The remaining smaller rooms are in different parts of the hotel. The Wellingtonia suite has been refurbished and consists of 4 joining rooms, with its own terrace overlooking the garden. This is a good training room or meeting room with breakouts. Lunch and breaks can be served there, so meetings can have their own private part of the hotel. The hotel is traditional in style. The club bedrooms have their own balconies.
The decor of this venue is tired, however, they are about to start refurbishment which will take at least a year, so be completed by the end of 2015. The hotel has a large amount of meeting space, but only 122 bedrooms, so works with the Copthorne London Gatwick for overflow accommodation (3 mins by car)
Hickstead Hotel
A 3* hotel that is better inside than it looks from the approach. The reception and meeting rooms are in the old part of the building and there is a newer wing with 54 bedrooms. The main meeting room is on the ground floor with access to a gravel garden, which can be used for breaks or lunch if the weather is good. There are two boardrooms in another area of the hotel on separate floors.
A good hotel for a regional meeting, without getting involved in the traffic of a town and plenty of free parking
South Lodge
Very impressive building and setting. It is a traditional hotel, with wood panneling and tapestries, terraces leading to gardens and views over the Sussex hills. The 12 meeting rooms are in one area of the hotel, on several floors, the largest takes 130 people on rounds. There is a new conference room, the Arundel, which has a fixed U-shaped table for 18 people. Tables in the Pass restaurant have views of the kitchen. It takes 32 for private hire.
There are bedrooms in the old part of the hotel and a newer wing. There is refurbishment going on at the moment. The head chef is Stephen Edwards, who won Masterchef in 2014, consequently the hotel is popular with leisure guests.
Thistle Brighton
This is not a good looking hotel from the outside, but was purpose built about 30 years ago as a hotel and does not have the challenges of some of the older properties in Brighton. It is a good location with the sea front is on one side and the Lanes on the other. Inside it is built around an atrium so is bright. All 210 bedrooms are having a soft refurbishment this year. The maximum capacity for a residential group is 180. There are two bars, one which can be used for private receptions and is complimentary for groups of 50+. Most of the meeting space is on the 1st floor. The meeting foyer is shared between all groups, but an area can be sectioned off if required. All the meeting space has air conditioning and only one room does not have natural daylight. The ballroom is on the ground floor and is the only room I have seen with oval tables (not round) which would be good for 6-7 people in cabaret style. Executive bedrooms have sea views or face the Lanes and are good sized rooms. The standard rooms are internal facing to the atrium.
The Noblesse meeting room has a pillar in the middle, but would be good for a group of 30 to use half for a meeting and half for catering or break out space. The hotel is very leisure focussed in the school holidays and has an indoor heated pool, so attracts families. Car parking is in the Lanes NCP and the hotel offers 15% discount.
Mercure Brighton
4* hotel which is 150 years old and traditional in style. It is on the seafront in the direction of Hove. It looks a bit tired and needs some money spent. There are a variety of styles, carpets, paintwork etc. There are 7 meeting rooms and the largest takes 180 theatre-style. The meeting rooms are scattered around the hotel and accessed by corridors and stairs so not DDA compliant. The meeting rooms have air conditioning, but bedrooms do not. The largest room is the Ballroom on the ground floor which was refurbished in October 2013 and takes 180 theatre-style or 80 cabaret-style. There are two pillars at the side of the room and chandeliers.
The hotel has 12 parking spaces at the front and 30 at the back available on a first-come first-served basis. The nearest car parks are a 10 minute walk.
Myhotel Brighton
In the north Laine area of the city, next to the theatre and Pavilion. It is 6 years old and very contemporary with lots of white, pink and green decoration. There are crystals for Feng Shui and they have used local designers and source local products. It is run on eco-friendly principals with organic tea, chocolate etc and they recycle. Jubilee Square is on one side of the hotel and something happens there all the time. When I visited it was covered in astroturf and 4 table tennis tables were set up for anyone to use. Next month a large converted vintage car will be parked where people can go and watch a film. Then it will change to sculpture. There are only 2 meeting rooms and the maximum capacity of the larger room is 50 people, but fewer would be better. Both are white, bright rooms with natural daylight and air conditioning. Lunch is either served in the meeting room or 10 people can have a cold buffet in the bar. The hotel bar is a destination, and they can allocate a semi-private area for 50 people. It is a fun hotel, there is a photo booth in the bar area and you get a token with drinks. The bedrooms have a disposable camera and if you use it and leave it in the room, the hotel will send the developed pictures later. There are 80 bedrooms, all double beds and all with showers. They have wifi, dvd players and you can plug your iphone into the bedroom’s sound system. Signature rooms are on the corners and are all different in style. here is an Indian restaurant on site, run by an external company, tables need to be booked directly, but they will allocate a semi private area for a group from the hotel.
The hotel has a small underground car park and can allocate 10 spaces for meeting attendees, or there are NCP car parks nearby. Myhotel is probably not to everyone’s taste, it is very lively and fashionable. They do well with the IT, comms and travel industries.
Jurys Inn Brighton
4* hotel next to the station, about 10 mins walk to the North Laine area. There are 9 meeting rooms in a dedicated conference area. The largest room has access to a roof terrace and has capacity for 80 in cabaret style. The hotel does well with charities and associations and is fully DDA compliant. Everything was clean and tidy and it appeared to be efficient. All 234 bedrooms have double beds and triple glazed windows. There is free wifi throughout the hotel. There is some complimentary parking or there is a large car park opposite and it is half the price of the ones at the seafront.
The hotel will spend £2m on refurbishment. Bedrooms will be done a floor at a time starting in October 2014 and public areas done after Christmas. The rates are competitive as they recognise that they are not in the centre of town or on the seafront. But if you don’t want to get tangled up in Brighton’s traffic then it is a good option.
Ashdown Park
Traditional style hotel set in 1,500 acres of grounds with a lake, fountain and lovely views of the Ashdown Forest. It is a 19th century stone mansion, with a spa, golf and they can organise team building events. There are 14 meeting rooms of different sizes, which can be flexible with private dining. The highlight of the building is a converted chapel, which has function rooms on the ground and 1st floor. The ideal size group is 80-100 for this area and it would work well with a meeting on one floor and catering on the other. This would keep the group in one place and would be completely private. There is stained glass at one end of the building and a working organ, so is a spectacular dinner venue.
I stayed the night here and had a lovely large room and it was completely quiet, although there was a wedding reception in the hotel that evening. I ate in the Anderida Restaurant, the food, service and all the staff were excellent.

It is modern, bright and welcoming – a great place to have a meeting, conference or training event. It is not open to the public, so the clients are only there to work. Roffey is set in 40 acres of grounds and backs on to forest so it is peaceful and you have a feeling of space. There are paths around the grounds, lots of seating and areas for team building. It has a lovely indoor pool or you can borrow a bike to get some exercise. All meeting rooms are light and airy with natural daylight and all rooms on the ground floor open to the garden, so they have their own outside area. There are two restaurants which can be open, secluded or have private areas. There are 60 bedrooms, 10 of which are twins, in one wing of the property. They are plain, so designed for work, but have everything you need.
This is probably the best management training centre that I have visited. The environment was very pleasant and conducive to work. As it is not a hotel there is never an overlap with leisure guests. The staff were very welcoming and efficient and gave me an excellent sandwich lunch, with very fresh ingredients. If there is a large meeting and extra accommodation is needed, they use the Arora Gatwick.
Sofitel London Gatwick
This does not feel like an airport hotel. The entrance has a bright atrium and was quiet and calm on the day that I visited. The hotel has 518 bedrooms and 11 meeting rooms that can be divided into 14 smaller ones. There are lots of areas of casual seating areas and a bar which can be privatised or used as a casual break out area. The restaurant has two rosettes, has a private room for 42 or can be privatised for 100 people. The largest meeting room is on the ground floor with its own reception are and bar. This is the only room without natural daylight, the others have large windows or two have secondary light from the atrium, they were all bright with high ceilings.
There is a very interesting room on the lower ground floor, with daylight and its own entrance. It was used as an airline lounge and has a sunken seating area, fireplace, bar and room previously used for computers. It is flexible space and can be used for a completely private meeting, with dining in the same room, or parties, meetings with break out areas. The largest residential group that this hotel can take is 240/250 people.
Copthorne London Gatwick
This hotel is traditional in style and has recently been refurbished. It has some nice meeting rooms, with natural daylight and there are four dining outlets, so they can offer variation with lunches and dinners. The Lion d’Or a la carte restaurant has semi-private dining for 8 people. The garden is lovely and there is good outdoor space for breaks or BBQ.
Although there are 227 bedrooms the maximum size residential group is 100 people. The largest room can take 100 theatre style, but is more frequently used for dinners or weddings than meetings, as it has a bar in the corner and dance floor covered with carpet. It has pillars and the natural daylight is from a skylight which has a retractable blackout blind
Copthorne Effingham Gatwick
The largest meeting room is an oval room with large windows either side and takes 650 people with stage and back projection. It is in a separate building, but opposite reception and with a walkway from the hotel on the 1st floor. There are no pillars and a high ceiling, so can be used as blank canvass space. The remaining smaller rooms are in different parts of the hotel. The Wellingtonia suite has been refurbished and consists of 4 joining rooms, with its own terrace overlooking the garden. This is a good training room or meeting room with breakouts. Lunch and breaks can be served there, so meetings can have their own private part of the hotel. The hotel is traditional in style. The club bedrooms have their own balconies.
The decor of this venue is tired, however, they are about to start refurbishment which will take at least a year, so be completed by the end of 2015. The hotel has a large amount of meeting space, but only 122 bedrooms, so works with the Copthorne London Gatwick for overflow accommodation (3 mins by car)
Hickstead Hotel
A 3* hotel that is better inside than it looks from the approach. The reception and meeting rooms are in the old part of the building and there is a newer wing with 54 bedrooms. The main meeting room is on the ground floor with access to a gravel garden, which can be used for breaks or lunch if the weather is good. There are two boardrooms in another area of the hotel on separate floors.
A good hotel for a regional meeting, without getting involved in the traffic of a town and plenty of free parking
South Lodge
Very impressive building and setting. It is a traditional hotel, with wood panneling and tapestries, terraces leading to gardens and views over the Sussex hills. The 12 meeting rooms are in one area of the hotel, on several floors, the largest takes 130 people on rounds. There is a new conference room, the Arundel, which has a fixed U-shaped table for 18 people. Tables in the Pass restaurant have views of the kitchen. It takes 32 for private hire.
There are bedrooms in the old part of the hotel and a newer wing. There is refurbishment going on at the moment. The head chef is Stephen Edwards, who won Masterchef in 2014, consequently the hotel is popular with leisure guests.
I visited on a Sunday and couldn’t see a room for 30-40 people on the top floor of the hotel, which apparently has lovely views and is often used for drinks and dinners, as well as meetings.The Hilton works with all the other Brighton hotels for bedrooms when they have a large conference, particularly the Grand which is next door.Only the bedrooms in the front of the hotel have air conditioning. Classic bedrooms are on the side, back or inwards facing. Parking in Brighton is a problem generally. The hotel has limited parking or there is an NCP nearby.
Thistle Brighton
This is not a good looking hotel from the outside, but was purpose built about 30 years ago as a hotel and does not have the challenges of some of the older properties in Brighton. It is a good location with the sea front is on one side and the Lanes on the other. Inside it is built around an atrium so is bright. All 210 bedrooms are having a soft refurbishment this year. The maximum capacity for a residential group is 180. There are two bars, one which can be used for private receptions and is complimentary for groups of 50+. Most of the meeting space is on the 1st floor. The meeting foyer is shared between all groups, but an area can be sectioned off if required. All the meeting space has air conditioning and only one room does not have natural daylight. The ballroom is on the ground floor and is the only room I have seen with oval tables (not round) which would be good for 6-7 people in cabaret style. Executive bedrooms have sea views or face the Lanes and are good sized rooms. The standard rooms are internal facing to the atrium.
The Noblesse meeting room has a pillar in the middle, but would be good for a group of 30 to use half for a meeting and half for catering or break out space. The hotel is very leisure focussed in the school holidays and has an indoor heated pool, so attracts families. Car parking is in the Lanes NCP and the hotel offers 15% discount.
Mercure Brighton
4* hotel which is 150 years old and traditional in style. It is on the seafront in the direction of Hove. It looks a bit tired and needs some money spent. There are a variety of styles, carpets, paintwork etc. There are 7 meeting rooms and the largest takes 180 theatre-style. The meeting rooms are scattered around the hotel and accessed by corridors and stairs so not DDA compliant. The meeting rooms have air conditioning, but bedrooms do not. The largest room is the Ballroom on the ground floor which was refurbished in October 2013 and takes 180 theatre-style or 80 cabaret-style. There are two pillars at the side of the room and chandeliers.
The hotel has 12 parking spaces at the front and 30 at the back available on a first-come first-served basis. The nearest car parks are a 10 minute walk.
Myhotel Brighton
In the north Laine area of the city, next to the theatre and Pavilion. It is 6 years old and very contemporary with lots of white, pink and green decoration. There are crystals for Feng Shui and they have used local designers and source local products. It is run on eco-friendly principals with organic tea, chocolate etc and they recycle. Jubilee Square is on one side of the hotel and something happens there all the time. When I visited it was covered in astroturf and 4 table tennis tables were set up for anyone to use. Next month a large converted vintage car will be parked where people can go and watch a film. Then it will change to sculpture. There are only 2 meeting rooms and the maximum capacity of the larger room is 50 people, but fewer would be better. Both are white, bright rooms with natural daylight and air conditioning. Lunch is either served in the meeting room or 10 people can have a cold buffet in the bar. The hotel bar is a destination, and they can allocate a semi-private area for 50 people. It is a fun hotel, there is a photo booth in the bar area and you get a token with drinks. The bedrooms have a disposable camera and if you use it and leave it in the room, the hotel will send the developed pictures later. There are 80 bedrooms, all double beds and all with showers. They have wifi, dvd players and you can plug your iphone into the bedroom’s sound system. Signature rooms are on the corners and are all different in style. here is an Indian restaurant on site, run by an external company, tables need to be booked directly, but they will allocate a semi private area for a group from the hotel.
The hotel has a small underground car park and can allocate 10 spaces for meeting attendees, or there are NCP car parks nearby. Myhotel is probably not to everyone’s taste, it is very lively and fashionable. They do well with the IT, comms and travel industries.
Jurys Inn Brighton
4* hotel next to the station, about 10 mins walk to the North Laine area. There are 9 meeting rooms in a dedicated conference area. The largest room has access to a roof terrace and has capacity for 80 in cabaret style. The hotel does well with charities and associations and is fully DDA compliant. Everything was clean and tidy and it appeared to be efficient. All 234 bedrooms have double beds and triple glazed windows. There is free wifi throughout the hotel. There is some complimentary parking or there is a large car park opposite and it is half the price of the ones at the seafront.
The hotel will spend £2m on refurbishment. Bedrooms will be done a floor at a time starting in October 2014 and public areas done after Christmas. The rates are competitive as they recognise that they are not in the centre of town or on the seafront. But if you don’t want to get tangled up in Brighton’s traffic then it is a good option.
Ashdown Park
Traditional style hotel set in 1,500 acres of grounds with a lake, fountain and lovely views of the Ashdown Forest. It is a 19th century stone mansion, with a spa, golf and they can organise team building events. There are 14 meeting rooms of different sizes, which can be flexible with private dining. The highlight of the building is a converted chapel, which has function rooms on the ground and 1st floor. The ideal size group is 80-100 for this area and it would work well with a meeting on one floor and catering on the other. This would keep the group in one place and would be completely private. There is stained glass at one end of the building and a working organ, so is a spectacular dinner venue.
I stayed the night here and had a lovely large room and it was completely quiet, although there was a wedding reception in the hotel that evening. I ate in the Anderida Restaurant, the food, service and all the staff were excellent.

A 5* hotel on the seafront. It’s key selling point is the large meeting space. It has 9 small meeting rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors and some larger meeting rooms off the Lobby. These have recently been refurbished. At the back of the hotel there is a conference centre with 40+ meeting rooms for large events and exhibitions. This area is accessed by stairs and corridors and really needs the paintwork re-done and new carpet. There was a Bridge convention there when I visited and they had been in the hotel for 11 days.

They have wifi, dvd players and you can plug your iphone into the bedroom’s sound system. Signature rooms are on the corners and are all different in style. here is an Indian restaurant on site, run by an external company, tables need to be booked directly, but they will allocate a semi private area for a group from the hotel.
The hotel has a small underground car park and can allocate 10 spaces for meeting attendees, or there are NCP car parks nearby. Myhotel is probably not to everyone’s taste, it is very lively and fashionable. They do well with the IT, comms and travel industries.
Jurys Inn Brighton
4* hotel next to the station, about 10 mins walk to the North Laine area. There are 9 meeting rooms in a dedicated conference area. The largest room has access to a roof terrace and has capacity for 80 in cabaret style. The hotel does well with charities and associations and is fully DDA compliant. Everything was clean and tidy and it appeared to be efficient. All 234 bedrooms have double beds and triple glazed windows. There is free wifi throughout the hotel. There is some complimentary parking or there is a large car park opposite and it is half the price of the ones at the seafront.
The hotel will spend £2m on refurbishment. Bedrooms will be done a floor at a time starting in October 2014 and public areas done after Christmas. The rates are competitive as they recognise that they are not in the centre of town or on the seafront. But if you don’t want to get tangled up in Brighton’s traffic then it is a good option.
Ashdown Park
Traditional style hotel set in 1,500 acres of grounds with a lake, fountain and lovely views of the Ashdown Forest. It is a 19th century stone mansion, with a spa, golf and they can organise team building events. There are 14 meeting rooms of different sizes, which can be flexible with private dining. The highlight of the building is a converted chapel, which has function rooms on the ground and 1st floor. The ideal size group is 80-100 for this area and it would work well with a meeting on one floor and catering on the other. This would keep the group in one place and would be completely private. There is stained glass at one end of the building and a working organ, so is a spectacular dinner venue.
I stayed the night here and had a lovely large room and it was completely quiet, although there was a wedding reception in the hotel that evening. I ate in the Anderida Restaurant, the food, service and all the staff were excellent.
Roffey Park
I really enjoyed my visit to this management training centre. it is 5 minutes from the M23, just south of Gatwick. It is modern, bright and welcoming – a great place to have a meeting, conference or training event. It is not open to the public, so the clients are only there to work. Roffey is set in 40 acres of grounds and backs on to forest so it is peaceful and you have a feeling of space. There are paths around the grounds, lots of seating and areas for team building. It has a lovely indoor pool or you can borrow a bike to get some exercise. All meeting rooms are light and airy with natural daylight and all rooms on the ground floor open to the garden, so they have their own outside area. There are two restaurants which can be open, secluded or have private areas. There are 60 bedrooms, 10 of which are twins, in one wing of the property. They are plain, so designed for work, but have everything you need.
This is probably the best management training centre that I have visited. The environment was very pleasant and conducive to work. As it is not a hotel there is never an overlap with leisure guests. The staff were very welcoming and efficient and gave me an excellent sandwich lunch, with very fresh ingredients. If there is a large meeting and extra accommodation is needed, they use the Arora Gatwick.
Sofitel London Gatwick
This does not feel like an airport hotel. The entrance has a bright atrium and was quiet and calm on the day that I visited. The hotel has 518 bedrooms and 11 meeting rooms that can be divided into 14 smaller ones. There are lots of areas of casual seating areas and a bar which can be privatised or used as a casual break out area. The restaurant has two rosettes, has a private room for 42 or can be privatised for 100 people. The largest meeting room is on the ground floor with its own reception are and bar. This is the only room without natural daylight, the others have large windows or two have secondary light from the atrium, they were all bright with high ceilings.
There is a very interesting room on the lower ground floor, with daylight and its own entrance. It was used as an airline lounge and has a sunken seating area, fireplace, bar and room previously used for computers. It is flexible space and can be used for a completely private meeting, with dining in the same room, or parties, meetings with break out areas. The largest residential group that this hotel can take is 240/250 people.
Copthorne London Gatwick
This hotel is traditional in style and has recently been refurbished. It has some nice meeting rooms, with natural daylight and there are four dining outlets, so they can offer variation with lunches and dinners. The Lion d’Or a la carte restaurant has semi-private dining for 8 people. The garden is lovely and there is good outdoor space for breaks or BBQ.
Although there are 227 bedrooms the maximum size residential group is 100 people. The largest room can take 100 theatre style, but is more frequently used for dinners or weddings than meetings, as it has a bar in the corner and dance floor covered with carpet. It has pillars and the natural daylight is from a skylight which has a retractable blackout blind
Copthorne Effingham Gatwick
The largest meeting room is an oval room with large windows either side and takes 650 people with stage and back projection. It is in a separate building, but opposite reception and with a walkway from the hotel on the 1st floor. There are no pillars and a high ceiling, so can be used as blank canvass space. The remaining smaller rooms are in different parts of the hotel. The Wellingtonia suite has been refurbished and consists of 4 joining rooms, with its own terrace overlooking the garden. This is a good training room or meeting room with breakouts. Lunch and breaks can be served there, so meetings can have their own private part of the hotel. The hotel is traditional in style. The club bedrooms have their own balconies.
The decor of this venue is tired, however, they are about to start refurbishment which will take at least a year, so be completed by the end of 2015. The hotel has a large amount of meeting space, but only 122 bedrooms, so works with the Copthorne London Gatwick for overflow accommodation (3 mins by car)
Hickstead Hotel
A 3* hotel that is better inside than it looks from the approach. The reception and meeting rooms are in the old part of the building and there is a newer wing with 54 bedrooms. The main meeting room is on the ground floor with access to a gravel garden, which can be used for breaks or lunch if the weather is good. There are two boardrooms in another area of the hotel on separate floors.
A good hotel for a regional meeting, without getting involved in the traffic of a town and plenty of free parking
South Lodge
Very impressive building and setting. It is a traditional hotel, with wood panneling and tapestries, terraces leading to gardens and views over the Sussex hills. The 12 meeting rooms are in one area of the hotel, on several floors, the largest takes 130 people on rounds. There is a new conference room, the Arundel, which has a fixed U-shaped table for 18 people. Tables in the Pass restaurant have views of the kitchen. It takes 32 for private hire.
There are bedrooms in the old part of the hotel and a newer wing. There is refurbishment going on at the moment. The head chef is Stephen Edwards, who won Masterchef in 2014, consequently the hotel is popular with leisure guests.
Hilton Brighton Metropole
A 5* hotel on the seafront. It’s key selling point is the large meeting space. It has 9 small meeting rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors and some larger meeting rooms off the Lobby. These have recently been refurbished. At the back of the hotel there is a conference centre with 40+ meeting rooms for large events and exhibitions. This area is accessed by stairs and corridors and really needs the paintwork re-done and new carpet. There was a Bridge convention there when I visited and they had been in the hotel for 11 days.
I visited on a Sunday and couldn’t see a room for 30-40 people on the top floor of the hotel, which apparently has lovely views and is often used for drinks and dinners, as well as meetings.The Hilton works with all the other Brighton hotels for bedrooms when they have a large conference, particularly the Grand which is next door.Only the bedrooms in the front of the hotel have air conditioning. Classic bedrooms are on the side, back or inwards facing. Parking in Brighton is a problem generally. The hotel has limited parking or there is an NCP nearby.
Thistle Brighton
This is not a good looking hotel from the outside, but was purpose built about 30 years ago as a hotel and does not have the challenges of some of the older properties in Brighton. It is a good location with the sea front is on one side and the Lanes on the other. Inside it is built around an atrium so is bright. All 210 bedrooms are having a soft refurbishment this year. The maximum capacity for a residential group is 180. There are two bars, one which can be used for private receptions and is complimentary for groups of 50+. Most of the meeting space is on the 1st floor. The meeting foyer is shared between all groups, but an area can be sectioned off if required. All the meeting space has air conditioning and only one room does not have natural daylight. The ballroom is on the ground floor and is the only room I have seen with oval tables (not round) which would be good for 6-7 people in cabaret style. Executive bedrooms have sea views or face the Lanes and are good sized rooms. The standard rooms are internal facing to the atrium.
The Noblesse meeting room has a pillar in the middle, but would be good for a group of 30 to use half for a meeting and half for catering or break out space. The hotel is very leisure focussed in the school holidays and has an indoor heated pool, so attracts families. Car parking is in the Lanes NCP and the hotel offers 15% discount.
Mercure Brighton
4* hotel which is 150 years old and traditional in style. It is on the seafront in the direction of Hove. It looks a bit tired and needs some money spent. There are a variety of styles, carpets, paintwork etc. There are 7 meeting rooms and the largest takes 180 theatre-style. The meeting rooms are scattered around the hotel and accessed by corridors and stairs so not DDA compliant. The meeting rooms have air conditioning, but bedrooms do not. The largest room is the Ballroom on the ground floor which was refurbished in October 2013 and takes 180 theatre-style or 80 cabaret-style. There are two pillars at the side of the room and chandeliers.
The hotel has 12 parking spaces at the front and 30 at the back available on a first-come first-served basis. The nearest car parks are a 10 minute walk.
Myhotel Brighton
In the north Laine area of the city, next to the theatre and Pavilion. It is 6 years old and very contemporary with lots of white, pink and green decoration. There are crystals for Feng Shui and they have used local designers and source local products. It is run on eco-friendly principals with organic tea, chocolate etc and they recycle. Jubilee Square is on one side of the hotel and something happens there all the time. When I visited it was covered in astroturf and 4 table tennis tables were set up for anyone to use. Next month a large converted vintage car will be parked where people can go and watch a film. Then it will change to sculpture. There are only 2 meeting rooms and the maximum capacity of the larger room is 50 people, but fewer would be better. Both are white, bright rooms with natural daylight and air conditioning. Lunch is either served in the meeting room or 10 people can have a cold buffet in the bar. The hotel bar is a destination, and they can allocate a semi-private area for 50 people. It is a fun hotel, there is a photo booth in the bar area and you get a token with drinks.

This is not a good looking hotel from the outside, but was purpose built about 30 years ago as a hotel and does not have the challenges of some of the older properties in Brighton. It is a good location with the sea front is on one side and the Lanes on the other. Inside it is built around an atrium so is bright. All 210 bedrooms are having a soft refurbishment this year. The maximum capacity for a residential group is 180. There are two bars, one which can be used for private receptions and is complimentary for groups of 50+. Most of the meeting space is on the 1st floor. The meeting foyer is shared between all groups, but an area can be sectioned off if required. All the meeting space has air conditioning and only one room does not have natural daylight. The ballroom is on the ground floor and is the only room I have seen with oval tables (not round) which would be good for 6-7 people in cabaret style. Executive bedrooms have sea views or face the Lanes and are good sized rooms. The standard rooms are internal facing to the atrium.
The Noblesse meeting room has a pillar in the middle, but would be good for a group of 30 to use half for a meeting and half for catering or break out space. The hotel is very leisure focussed in the school holidays and has an indoor heated pool, so attracts families. Car parking is in the Lanes NCP and the hotel offers 15% discount.
Mercure Brighton
4* hotel which is 150 years old and traditional in style. It is on the seafront in the direction of Hove. It looks a bit tired and needs some money spent. There are a variety of styles, carpets, paintwork etc. There are 7 meeting rooms and the largest takes 180 theatre-style. The meeting rooms are scattered around the hotel and accessed by corridors and stairs so not DDA compliant. The meeting rooms have air conditioning, but bedrooms do not. The largest room is the Ballroom on the ground floor which was refurbished in October 2013 and takes 180 theatre-style or 80 cabaret-style. There are two pillars at the side of the room and chandeliers.
The hotel has 12 parking spaces at the front and 30 at the back available on a first-come first-served basis. The nearest car parks are a 10 minute walk.
Myhotel Brighton
In the north Laine area of the city, next to the theatre and Pavilion. It is 6 years old and very contemporary with lots of white, pink and green decoration. There are crystals for Feng Shui and they have used local designers and source local products. It is run on eco-friendly principals with organic tea, chocolate etc and they recycle. Jubilee Square is on one side of the hotel and something happens there all the time. When I visited it was covered in astroturf and 4 table tennis tables were set up for anyone to use. Next month a large converted vintage car will be parked where people can go and watch a film. Then it will change to sculpture. There are only 2 meeting rooms and the maximum capacity of the larger room is 50 people, but fewer would be better. Both are white, bright rooms with natural daylight and air conditioning. Lunch is either served in the meeting room or 10 people can have a cold buffet in the bar. The hotel bar is a destination, and they can allocate a semi-private area for 50 people. It is a fun hotel, there is a photo booth in the bar area and you get a token with drinks. The bedrooms have a disposable camera and if you use it and leave it in the room, the hotel will send the developed pictures later. There are 80 bedrooms, all double beds and all with showers. They have wifi, dvd players and you can plug your iphone into the bedroom’s sound system. Signature rooms are on the corners and are all different in style. here is an Indian restaurant on site, run by an external company, tables need to be booked directly, but they will allocate a semi private area for a group from the hotel.
The hotel has a small underground car park and can allocate 10 spaces for meeting attendees, or there are NCP car parks nearby. Myhotel is probably not to everyone’s taste, it is very lively and fashionable. They do well with the IT, comms and travel industries.
Jurys Inn Brighton
4* hotel next to the station, about 10 mins walk to the North Laine area. There are 9 meeting rooms in a dedicated conference area. The largest room has access to a roof terrace and has capacity for 80 in cabaret style. The hotel does well with charities and associations and is fully DDA compliant. Everything was clean and tidy and it appeared to be efficient. All 234 bedrooms have double beds and triple glazed windows. There is free wifi throughout the hotel. There is some complimentary parking or there is a large car park opposite and it is half the price of the ones at the seafront.
The hotel will spend £2m on refurbishment. Bedrooms will be done a floor at a time starting in October 2014 and public areas done after Christmas. The rates are competitive as they recognise that they are not in the centre of town or on the seafront. But if you don’t want to get tangled up in Brighton’s traffic then it is a good option.
Ashdown Park
Traditional style hotel set in 1,500 acres of grounds with a lake, fountain and lovely views of the Ashdown Forest. It is a 19th century stone mansion, with a spa, golf and they can organise team building events. There are 14 meeting rooms of different sizes, which can be flexible with private dining. The highlight of the building is a converted chapel, which has function rooms on the ground and 1st floor. The ideal size group is 80-100 for this area and it would work well with a meeting on one floor and catering on the other. This would keep the group in one place and would be completely private. There is stained glass at one end of the building and a working organ, so is a spectacular dinner venue.
I stayed the night here and had a lovely large room and it was completely quiet, although there was a wedding reception in the hotel that evening. I ate in the Anderida Restaurant, the food, service and all the staff were excellent.
Roffey Park
I really enjoyed my visit to this management training centre. it is 5 minutes from the M23, just south of Gatwick. It is modern, bright and welcoming – a great place to have a meeting, conference or training event. It is not open to the public, so the clients are only there to work. Roffey is set in 40 acres of grounds and backs on to forest so it is peaceful and you have a feeling of space. There are paths around the grounds, lots of seating and areas for team building. It has a lovely indoor pool or you can borrow a bike to get some exercise. All meeting rooms are light and airy with natural daylight and all rooms on the ground floor open to the garden, so they have their own outside area. There are two restaurants which can be open, secluded or have private areas. There are 60 bedrooms, 10 of which are twins, in one wing of the property. They are plain, so designed for work, but have everything you need.
This is probably the best management training centre that I have visited. The environment was very pleasant and conducive to work. As it is not a hotel there is never an overlap with leisure guests. The staff were very welcoming and efficient and gave me an excellent sandwich lunch, with very fresh ingredients. If there is a large meeting and extra accommodation is needed, they use the Arora Gatwick.
Sofitel London Gatwick
This does not feel like an airport hotel. The entrance has a bright atrium and was quiet and calm on the day that I visited. The hotel has 518 bedrooms and 11 meeting rooms that can be divided into 14 smaller ones. There are lots of areas of casual seating areas and a bar which can be privatised or used as a casual break out area. The restaurant has two rosettes, has a private room for 42 or can be privatised for 100 people. The largest meeting room is on the ground floor with its own reception are and bar. This is the only room without natural daylight, the others have large windows or two have secondary light from the atrium, they were all bright with high ceilings.
There is a very interesting room on the lower ground floor, with daylight and its own entrance. It was used as an airline lounge and has a sunken seating area, fireplace, bar and room previously used for computers. It is flexible space and can be used for a completely private meeting, with dining in the same room, or parties, meetings with break out areas. The largest residential group that this hotel can take is 240/250 people.
Copthorne London Gatwick
This hotel is traditional in style and has recently been refurbished. It has some nice meeting rooms, with natural daylight and there are four dining outlets, so they can offer variation with lunches and dinners. The Lion d’Or a la carte restaurant has semi-private dining for 8 people. The garden is lovely and there is good outdoor space for breaks or BBQ.
Although there are 227 bedrooms the maximum size residential group is 100 people. The largest room can take 100 theatre style, but is more frequently used for dinners or weddings than meetings, as it has a bar in the corner and dance floor covered with carpet. It has pillars and the natural daylight is from a skylight which has a retractable blackout blind
Copthorne Effingham Gatwick
The largest meeting room is an oval room with large windows either side and takes 650 people with stage and back projection. It is in a separate building, but opposite reception and with a walkway from the hotel on the 1st floor. There are no pillars and a high ceiling, so can be used as blank canvass space. The remaining smaller rooms are in different parts of the hotel. The Wellingtonia suite has been refurbished and consists of 4 joining rooms, with its own terrace overlooking the garden. This is a good training room or meeting room with breakouts. Lunch and breaks can be served there, so meetings can have their own private part of the hotel. The hotel is traditional in style. The club bedrooms have their own balconies.
The decor of this venue is tired, however, they are about to start refurbishment which will take at least a year, so be completed by the end of 2015. The hotel has a large amount of meeting space, but only 122 bedrooms, so works with the Copthorne London Gatwick for overflow accommodation (3 mins by car)
Hickstead Hotel
A 3* hotel that is better inside than it looks from the approach. The reception and meeting rooms are in the old part of the building and there is a newer wing with 54 bedrooms. The main meeting room is on the ground floor with access to a gravel garden, which can be used for breaks or lunch if the weather is good. There are two boardrooms in another area of the hotel on separate floors.
A good hotel for a regional meeting, without getting involved in the traffic of a town and plenty of free parking
South Lodge
Very impressive building and setting. It is a traditional hotel, with wood panneling and tapestries, terraces leading to gardens and views over the Sussex hills. The 12 meeting rooms are in one area of the hotel, on several floors, the largest takes 130 people on rounds. There is a new conference room, the Arundel, which has a fixed U-shaped table for 18 people. Tables in the Pass restaurant have views of the kitchen. It takes 32 for private hire.
There are bedrooms in the old part of the hotel and a newer wing. There is refurbishment going on at the moment. The head chef is Stephen Edwards, who won Masterchef in 2014, consequently the hotel is popular with leisure guests.
The nicest bedrooms overlook the sea and there are three feature rooms, one of which has a wooden bath in the bedroom. The classic rooms are to the side or back of the hotel and don’t have views. There is a seafood restaurant with a conservatory area on the front with sea views. I thought that this was the best hotel of all the seafront properties.
Parking in Brighton is a problem generally. The hotel has 40 spaces which are available on a first-come, first-served basis or there is an NCP nearby.
Hilton Brighton Metropole
A 5* hotel on the seafront. It’s key selling point is the large meeting space. It has 9 small meeting rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors and some larger meeting rooms off the Lobby. These have recently been refurbished. At the back of the hotel there is a conference centre with 40+ meeting rooms for large events and exhibitions. This area is accessed by stairs and corridors and really needs the paintwork re-done and new carpet. There was a Bridge convention there when I visited and they had been in the hotel for 11 days.
I visited on a Sunday and couldn’t see a room for 30-40 people on the top floor of the hotel, which apparently has lovely views and is often used for drinks and dinners, as well as meetings.The Hilton works with all the other Brighton hotels for bedrooms when they have a large conference, particularly the Grand which is next door.Only the bedrooms in the front of the hotel have air conditioning. Classic bedrooms are on the side, back or inwards facing. Parking in Brighton is a problem generally. The hotel has limited parking or there is an NCP nearby.

The restaurant has two rosettes, has a private room for 42 or can be privatised for 100 people. The largest meeting room is on the ground floor with its own reception are and bar. This is the only room without natural daylight, the others have large windows or two have secondary light from the atrium, they were all bright with high ceilings.
There is a very interesting room on the lower ground floor, with daylight and its own entrance. It was used as an airline lounge and has a sunken seating area, fireplace, bar and room previously used for computers. It is flexible space and can be used for a completely private meeting, with dining in the same room, or parties, meetings with break out areas. The largest residential group that this hotel can take is 240/250 people.
Copthorne London Gatwick
This hotel is traditional in style and has recently been refurbished. It has some nice meeting rooms, with natural daylight and there are four dining outlets, so they can offer variation with lunches and dinners. The Lion d’Or a la carte restaurant has semi-private dining for 8 people. The garden is lovely and there is good outdoor space for breaks or BBQ.
Although there are 227 bedrooms the maximum size residential group is 100 people. The largest room can take 100 theatre style, but is more frequently used for dinners or weddings than meetings, as it has a bar in the corner and dance floor covered with carpet. It has pillars and the natural daylight is from a skylight which has a retractable blackout blind
Copthorne Effingham Gatwick
The largest meeting room is an oval room with large windows either side and takes 650 people with stage and back projection. It is in a separate building, but opposite reception and with a walkway from the hotel on the 1st floor. There are no pillars and a high ceiling, so can be used as blank canvass space. The remaining smaller rooms are in different parts of the hotel. The Wellingtonia suite has been refurbished and consists of 4 joining rooms, with its own terrace overlooking the garden. This is a good training room or meeting room with breakouts. Lunch and breaks can be served there, so meetings can have their own private part of the hotel. The hotel is traditional in style. The club bedrooms have their own balconies.
The decor of this venue is tired, however, they are about to start refurbishment which will take at least a year, so be completed by the end of 2015. The hotel has a large amount of meeting space, but only 122 bedrooms, so works with the Copthorne London Gatwick for overflow accommodation (3 mins by car)
Hickstead Hotel
A 3* hotel that is better inside than it looks from the approach. The reception and meeting rooms are in the old part of the building and there is a newer wing with 54 bedrooms. The main meeting room is on the ground floor with access to a gravel garden, which can be used for breaks or lunch if the weather is good. There are two boardrooms in another area of the hotel on separate floors.
A good hotel for a regional meeting, without getting involved in the traffic of a town and plenty of free parking
South Lodge
Very impressive building and setting. It is a traditional hotel, with wood panneling and tapestries, terraces leading to gardens and views over the Sussex hills. The 12 meeting rooms are in one area of the hotel, on several floors, the largest takes 130 people on rounds. There is a new conference room, the Arundel, which has a fixed U-shaped table for 18 people. Tables in the Pass restaurant have views of the kitchen. It takes 32 for private hire.
There are bedrooms in the old part of the hotel and a newer wing. There is refurbishment going on at the moment. The head chef is Stephen Edwards, who won Masterchef in 2014, consequently the hotel is popular with leisure guests.
5* Victorian hotel on the seafront which has recently been refurbished. It has three lovely interconnecting meeting rooms on the 1st floor with sea views which can be used separately, or as a suite with private dining, or break outs. The remaining meeting rooms are on the ground floor, not all have natural daylight. The largest room is on the left hand side of the hotel with its own entrance and can be divided into three. There is a wooden panelled room which used to be a library off the lobby area which would be good for a dinner and has an entrance from the bar, but does not have daylight.
The nicest bedrooms overlook the sea and there are three feature rooms, one of which has a wooden bath in the bedroom. The classic rooms are to the side or back of the hotel and don’t have views. There is a seafood restaurant with a conservatory area on the front with sea views. I thought that this was the best hotel of all the seafront properties.
Parking in Brighton is a problem generally. The hotel has 40 spaces which are available on a first-come, first-served basis or there is an NCP nearby.
Hilton Brighton Metropole
A 5* hotel on the seafront. It’s key selling point is the large meeting space. It has 9 small meeting rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors and some larger meeting rooms off the Lobby. These have recently been refurbished. At the back of the hotel there is a conference centre with 40+ meeting rooms for large events and exhibitions. This area is accessed by stairs and corridors and really needs the paintwork re-done and new carpet. There was a Bridge convention there when I visited and they had been in the hotel for 11 days.
I visited on a Sunday and couldn’t see a room for 30-40 people on the top floor of the hotel, which apparently has lovely views and is often used for drinks and dinners, as well as meetings.The Hilton works with all the other Brighton hotels for bedrooms when they have a large conference, particularly the Grand which is next door.Only the bedrooms in the front of the hotel have air conditioning. Classic bedrooms are on the side, back or inwards facing. Parking in Brighton is a problem generally. The hotel has limited parking or there is an NCP nearby.
Thistle Brighton
This is not a good looking hotel from the outside, but was purpose built about 30 years ago as a hotel and does not have the challenges of some of the older properties in Brighton. It is a good location with the sea front is on one side and the Lanes on the other. Inside it is built around an atrium so is bright. All 210 bedrooms are having a soft refurbishment this year. The maximum capacity for a residential group is 180. There are two bars, one which can be used for private receptions and is complimentary for groups of 50+. Most of the meeting space is on the 1st floor. The meeting foyer is shared between all groups, but an area can be sectioned off if required. All the meeting space has air conditioning and only one room does not have natural daylight. The ballroom is on the ground floor and is the only room I have seen with oval tables (not round) which would be good for 6-7 people in cabaret style. Executive bedrooms have sea views or face the Lanes and are good sized rooms. The standard rooms are internal facing to the atrium.
The Noblesse meeting room has a pillar in the middle, but would be good for a group of 30 to use half for a meeting and half for catering or break out space. The hotel is very leisure focussed in the school holidays and has an indoor heated pool, so attracts families. Car parking is in the Lanes NCP and the hotel offers 15% discount.
Mercure Brighton
4* hotel which is 150 years old and traditional in style. It is on the seafront in the direction of Hove. It looks a bit tired and needs some money spent. There are a variety of styles, carpets, paintwork etc. There are 7 meeting rooms and the largest takes 180 theatre-style. The meeting rooms are scattered around the hotel and accessed by corridors and stairs so not DDA compliant. The meeting rooms have air conditioning, but bedrooms do not. The largest room is the Ballroom on the ground floor which was refurbished in October 2013 and takes 180 theatre-style or 80 cabaret-style. There are two pillars at the side of the room and chandeliers.
The hotel has 12 parking spaces at the front and 30 at the back available on a first-come first-served basis. The nearest car parks are a 10 minute walk.
Myhotel Brighton
In the north Laine area of the city, next to the theatre and Pavilion. It is 6 years old and very contemporary with lots of white, pink and green decoration. There are crystals for Feng Shui and they have used local designers and source local products. It is run on eco-friendly principals with organic tea, chocolate etc and they recycle. Jubilee Square is on one side of the hotel and something happens there all the time. When I visited it was covered in astroturf and 4 table tennis tables were set up for anyone to use. Next month a large converted vintage car will be parked where people can go and watch a film. Then it will change to sculpture. There are only 2 meeting rooms and the maximum capacity of the larger room is 50 people, but fewer would be better. Both are white, bright rooms with natural daylight and air conditioning. Lunch is either served in the meeting room or 10 people can have a cold buffet in the bar. The hotel bar is a destination, and they can allocate a semi-private area for 50 people. It is a fun hotel, there is a photo booth in the bar area and you get a token with drinks. The bedrooms have a disposable camera and if you use it and leave it in the room, the hotel will send the developed pictures later. There are 80 bedrooms, all double beds and all with showers. They have wifi, dvd players and you can plug your iphone into the bedroom’s sound system. Signature rooms are on the corners and are all different in style. here is an Indian restaurant on site, run by an external company, tables need to be booked directly, but they will allocate a semi private area for a group from the hotel.
The hotel has a small underground car park and can allocate 10 spaces for meeting attendees, or there are NCP car parks nearby. Myhotel is probably not to everyone’s taste, it is very lively and fashionable. They do well with the IT, comms and travel industries.
Jurys Inn Brighton
4* hotel next to the station, about 10 mins walk to the North Laine area. There are 9 meeting rooms in a dedicated conference area. The largest room has access to a roof terrace and has capacity for 80 in cabaret style. The hotel does well with charities and associations and is fully DDA compliant. Everything was clean and tidy and it appeared to be efficient. All 234 bedrooms have double beds and triple glazed windows. There is free wifi throughout the hotel. There is some complimentary parking or there is a large car park opposite and it is half the price of the ones at the seafront.
The hotel will spend £2m on refurbishment. Bedrooms will be done a floor at a time starting in October 2014 and public areas done after Christmas. The rates are competitive as they recognise that they are not in the centre of town or on the seafront. But if you don’t want to get tangled up in Brighton’s traffic then it is a good option.
Ashdown Park
Traditional style hotel set in 1,500 acres of grounds with a lake, fountain and lovely views of the Ashdown Forest. It is a 19th century stone mansion, with a spa, golf and they can organise team building events. There are 14 meeting rooms of different sizes, which can be flexible with private dining. The highlight of the building is a converted chapel, which has function rooms on the ground and 1st floor. The ideal size group is 80-100 for this area and it would work well with a meeting on one floor and catering on the other. This would keep the group in one place and would be completely private. There is stained glass at one end of the building and a working organ, so is a spectacular dinner venue.
I stayed the night here and had a lovely large room and it was completely quiet, although there was a wedding reception in the hotel that evening. I ate in the Anderida Restaurant, the food, service and all the staff were excellent.
Roffey Park
I really enjoyed my visit to this management training centre. it is 5 minutes from the M23, just south of Gatwick. It is modern, bright and welcoming – a great place to have a meeting, conference or training event. It is not open to the public, so the clients are only there to work. Roffey is set in 40 acres of grounds and backs on to forest so it is peaceful and you have a feeling of space. There are paths around the grounds, lots of seating and areas for team building. It has a lovely indoor pool or you can borrow a bike to get some exercise. All meeting rooms are light and airy with natural daylight and all rooms on the ground floor open to the garden, so they have their own outside area. There are two restaurants which can be open, secluded or have private areas. There are 60 bedrooms, 10 of which are twins, in one wing of the property. They are plain, so designed for work, but have everything you need.
This is probably the best management training centre that I have visited. The environment was very pleasant and conducive to work. As it is not a hotel there is never an overlap with leisure guests. The staff were very welcoming and efficient and gave me an excellent sandwich lunch, with very fresh ingredients. If there is a large meeting and extra accommodation is needed, they use the Arora Gatwick.
Sofitel London Gatwick

The hotel is very leisure focussed in the school holidays and has an indoor heated pool, so attracts families. Car parking is in the Lanes NCP and the hotel offers 15% discount.
Mercure Brighton
4* hotel which is 150 years old and traditional in style. It is on the seafront in the direction of Hove. It looks a bit tired and needs some money spent. There are a variety of styles, carpets, paintwork etc. There are 7 meeting rooms and the largest takes 180 theatre-style. The meeting rooms are scattered around the hotel and accessed by corridors and stairs so not DDA compliant. The meeting rooms have air conditioning, but bedrooms do not. The largest room is the Ballroom on the ground floor which was refurbished in October 2013 and takes 180 theatre-style or 80 cabaret-style. There are two pillars at the side of the room and chandeliers.
The hotel has 12 parking spaces at the front and 30 at the back available on a first-come first-served basis. The nearest car parks are a 10 minute walk.
Myhotel Brighton
In the north Laine area of the city, next to the theatre and Pavilion. It is 6 years old and very contemporary with lots of white, pink and green decoration. There are crystals for Feng Shui and they have used local designers and source local products. It is run on eco-friendly principals with organic tea, chocolate etc and they recycle. Jubilee Square is on one side of the hotel and something happens there all the time. When I visited it was covered in astroturf and 4 table tennis tables were set up for anyone to use. Next month a large converted vintage car will be parked where people can go and watch a film. Then it will change to sculpture. There are only 2 meeting rooms and the maximum capacity of the larger room is 50 people, but fewer would be better. Both are white, bright rooms with natural daylight and air conditioning. Lunch is either served in the meeting room or 10 people can have a cold buffet in the bar. The hotel bar is a destination, and they can allocate a semi-private area for 50 people. It is a fun hotel, there is a photo booth in the bar area and you get a token with drinks. The bedrooms have a disposable camera and if you use it and leave it in the room, the hotel will send the developed pictures later. There are 80 bedrooms, all double beds and all with showers. They have wifi, dvd players and you can plug your iphone into the bedroom’s sound system. Signature rooms are on the corners and are all different in style. here is an Indian restaurant on site, run by an external company, tables need to be booked directly, but they will allocate a semi private area for a group from the hotel.
The hotel has a small underground car park and can allocate 10 spaces for meeting attendees, or there are NCP car parks nearby. Myhotel is probably not to everyone’s taste, it is very lively and fashionable. They do well with the IT, comms and travel industries.
Jurys Inn Brighton
4* hotel next to the station, about 10 mins walk to the North Laine area. There are 9 meeting rooms in a dedicated conference area. The largest room has access to a roof terrace and has capacity for 80 in cabaret style. The hotel does well with charities and associations and is fully DDA compliant. Everything was clean and tidy and it appeared to be efficient. All 234 bedrooms have double beds and triple glazed windows. There is free wifi throughout the hotel. There is some complimentary parking or there is a large car park opposite and it is half the price of the ones at the seafront.
The hotel will spend £2m on refurbishment. Bedrooms will be done a floor at a time starting in October 2014 and public areas done after Christmas. The rates are competitive as they recognise that they are not in the centre of town or on the seafront. But if you don’t want to get tangled up in Brighton’s traffic then it is a good option.
Ashdown Park
Traditional style hotel set in 1,500 acres of grounds with a lake, fountain and lovely views of the Ashdown Forest. It is a 19th century stone mansion, with a spa, golf and they can organise team building events. There are 14 meeting rooms of different sizes, which can be flexible with private dining. The highlight of the building is a converted chapel, which has function rooms on the ground and 1st floor. The ideal size group is 80-100 for this area and it would work well with a meeting on one floor and catering on the other. This would keep the group in one place and would be completely private. There is stained glass at one end of the building and a working organ, so is a spectacular dinner venue.
I stayed the night here and had a lovely large room and it was completely quiet, although there was a wedding reception in the hotel that evening. I ate in the Anderida Restaurant, the food, service and all the staff were excellent.
Roffey Park
I really enjoyed my visit to this management training centre. it is 5 minutes from the M23, just south of Gatwick. It is modern, bright and welcoming – a great place to have a meeting, conference or training event. It is not open to the public, so the clients are only there to work. Roffey is set in 40 acres of grounds and backs on to forest so it is peaceful and you have a feeling of space. There are paths around the grounds, lots of seating and areas for team building. It has a lovely indoor pool or you can borrow a bike to get some exercise. All meeting rooms are light and airy with natural daylight and all rooms on the ground floor open to the garden, so they have their own outside area. There are two restaurants which can be open, secluded or have private areas. There are 60 bedrooms, 10 of which are twins, in one wing of the property. They are plain, so designed for work, but have everything you need.
This is probably the best management training centre that I have visited. The environment was very pleasant and conducive to work. As it is not a hotel there is never an overlap with leisure guests. The staff were very welcoming and efficient and gave me an excellent sandwich lunch, with very fresh ingredients. If there is a large meeting and extra accommodation is needed, they use the Arora Gatwick.
Sofitel London Gatwick
This does not feel like an airport hotel. The entrance has a bright atrium and was quiet and calm on the day that I visited. The hotel has 518 bedrooms and 11 meeting rooms that can be divided into 14 smaller ones. There are lots of areas of casual seating areas and a bar which can be privatised or used as a casual break out area. The restaurant has two rosettes, has a private room for 42 or can be privatised for 100 people. The largest meeting room is on the ground floor with its own reception are and bar. This is the only room without natural daylight, the others have large windows or two have secondary light from the atrium, they were all bright with high ceilings.
There is a very interesting room on the lower ground floor, with daylight and its own entrance. It was used as an airline lounge and has a sunken seating area, fireplace, bar and room previously used for computers. It is flexible space and can be used for a completely private meeting, with dining in the same room, or parties, meetings with break out areas. The largest residential group that this hotel can take is 240/250 people.
Copthorne London Gatwick
This hotel is traditional in style and has recently been refurbished. It has some nice meeting rooms, with natural daylight and there are four dining outlets, so they can offer variation with lunches and dinners. The Lion d’Or a la carte restaurant has semi-private dining for 8 people. The garden is lovely and there is good outdoor space for breaks or BBQ.
Although there are 227 bedrooms the maximum size residential group is 100 people. The largest room can take 100 theatre style, but is more frequently used for dinners or weddings than meetings, as it has a bar in the corner and dance floor covered with carpet. It has pillars and the natural daylight is from a skylight which has a retractable blackout blind
Copthorne Effingham Gatwick
The largest meeting room is an oval room with large windows either side and takes 650 people with stage and back projection. It is in a separate building, but opposite reception and with a walkway from the hotel on the 1st floor. There are no pillars and a high ceiling, so can be used as blank canvass space. The remaining smaller rooms are in different parts of the hotel. The Wellingtonia suite has been refurbished and consists of 4 joining rooms, with its own terrace overlooking the garden. This is a good training room or meeting room with breakouts. Lunch and breaks can be served there, so meetings can have their own private part of the hotel. The hotel is traditional in style. The club bedrooms have their own balconies.
The decor of this venue is tired, however, they are about to start refurbishment which will take at least a year, so be completed by the end of 2015. The hotel has a large amount of meeting space, but only 122 bedrooms, so works with the Copthorne London Gatwick for overflow accommodation (3 mins by car)
Hickstead Hotel
A 3* hotel that is better inside than it looks from the approach. The reception and meeting rooms are in the old part of the building and there is a newer wing with 54 bedrooms. The main meeting room is on the ground floor with access to a gravel garden, which can be used for breaks or lunch if the weather is good. There are two boardrooms in another area of the hotel on separate floors.
A good hotel for a regional meeting, without getting involved in the traffic of a town and plenty of free parking
South Lodge
Very impressive building and setting. It is a traditional hotel, with wood panneling and tapestries, terraces leading to gardens and views over the Sussex hills. The 12 meeting rooms are in one area of the hotel, on several floors, the largest takes 130 people on rounds. There is a new conference room, the Arundel, which has a fixed U-shaped table for 18 people. Tables in the Pass restaurant have views of the kitchen. It takes 32 for private hire.
There are bedrooms in the old part of the hotel and a newer wing. There is refurbishment going on at the moment. The head chef is Stephen Edwards, who won Masterchef in 2014, consequently the hotel is popular with leisure guests.
I recently spent the day in Sussex, visiting hotels and venues Gatwick and Brighton area. There are a good variety of properties to choose from; something to suit all budgets and styles whether you want to be on the sea front, close to the airport or secluded in the country. For more information or to book any of these properties, just give our venue finding team a call on 01780 484050 or email VenueFinder@trinityconferences.co.uk
Grand Hotel, Brighton
5* Victorian hotel on the seafront which has recently been refurbished. It has three lovely interconnecting meeting rooms on the 1st floor with sea views which can be used separately, or as a suite with private dining, or break outs. The remaining meeting rooms are on the ground floor, not all have natural daylight. The largest room is on the left hand side of the hotel with its own entrance and can be divided into three. There is a wooden panelled room which used to be a library off the lobby area which would be good for a dinner and has an entrance from the bar, but does not have daylight.
The nicest bedrooms overlook the sea and there are three feature rooms, one of which has a wooden bath in the bedroom. The classic rooms are to the side or back of the hotel and don’t have views. There is a seafood restaurant with a conservatory area on the front with sea views. I thought that this was the best hotel of all the seafront properties.
Parking in Brighton is a problem generally. The hotel has 40 spaces which are available on a first-come, first-served basis or there is an NCP nearby.
Hilton Brighton Metropole
A 5* hotel on the seafront. It’s key selling point is the large meeting space. It has 9 small meeting rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors and some larger meeting rooms off the Lobby. These have recently been refurbished. At the back of the hotel there is a conference centre with 40+ meeting rooms for large events and exhibitions. This area is accessed by stairs and corridors and really needs the paintwork re-done and new carpet. There was a Bridge convention there when I visited and they had been in the hotel for 11 days.
I visited on a Sunday and couldn’t see a room for 30-40 people on the top floor of the hotel, which apparently has lovely views and is often used for drinks and dinners, as well as meetings.The Hilton works with all the other Brighton hotels for bedrooms when they have a large conference, particularly the Grand which is next door.Only the bedrooms in the front of the hotel have air conditioning. Classic bedrooms are on the side, back or inwards facing. Parking in Brighton is a problem generally. The hotel has limited parking or there is an NCP nearby.
Thistle Brighton
This is not a good looking hotel from the outside, but was purpose built about 30 years ago as a hotel and does not have the challenges of some of the older properties in Brighton. It is a good location with the sea front is on one side and the Lanes on the other. Inside it is built around an atrium so is bright. All 210 bedrooms are having a soft refurbishment this year. The maximum capacity for a residential group is 180. There are two bars, one which can be used for private receptions and is complimentary for groups of 50+. Most of the meeting space is on the 1st floor. The meeting foyer is shared between all groups, but an area can be sectioned off if required. All the meeting space has air conditioning and only one room does not have natural daylight. The ballroom is on the ground floor and is the only room I have seen with oval tables (not round) which would be good for 6-7 people in cabaret style. Executive bedrooms have sea views or face the Lanes and are good sized rooms. The standard rooms are internal facing to the atrium.
The Noblesse meeting room has a pillar in the middle, but would be good for a group of 30 to use half for a meeting and half for catering or break out space. The hotel is very leisure focussed in the school holidays and has an indoor heated pool, so attracts families. Car parking is in the Lanes NCP and the hotel offers 15% discount.

This does not feel like an airport hotel. The entrance has a bright atrium and was quiet and calm on the day that I visited. The hotel has 518 bedrooms and 11 meeting rooms that can be divided into 14 smaller ones. There are lots of areas of casual seating areas and a bar which can be privatised or used as a casual break out area. The restaurant has two rosettes, has a private room for 42 or can be privatised for 100 people. The largest meeting room is on the ground floor with its own reception are and bar. This is the only room without natural daylight, the others have large windows or two have secondary light from the atrium, they were all bright with high ceilings.
There is a very interesting room on the lower ground floor, with daylight and its own entrance. It was used as an airline lounge and has a sunken seating area, fireplace, bar and room previously used for computers. It is flexible space and can be used for a completely private meeting, with dining in the same room, or parties, meetings with break out areas. The largest residential group that this hotel can take is 240/250 people.
Copthorne London Gatwick
This hotel is traditional in style and has recently been refurbished. It has some nice meeting rooms, with natural daylight and there are four dining outlets, so they can offer variation with lunches and dinners. The Lion d’Or a la carte restaurant has semi-private dining for 8 people. The garden is lovely and there is good outdoor space for breaks or BBQ.
Although there are 227 bedrooms the maximum size residential group is 100 people. The largest room can take 100 theatre style, but is more frequently used for dinners or weddings than meetings, as it has a bar in the corner and dance floor covered with carpet. It has pillars and the natural daylight is from a skylight which has a retractable blackout blind
Copthorne Effingham Gatwick
The largest meeting room is an oval room with large windows either side and takes 650 people with stage and back projection. It is in a separate building, but opposite reception and with a walkway from the hotel on the 1st floor. There are no pillars and a high ceiling, so can be used as blank canvass space. The remaining smaller rooms are in different parts of the hotel. The Wellingtonia suite has been refurbished and consists of 4 joining rooms, with its own terrace overlooking the garden. This is a good training room or meeting room with breakouts. Lunch and breaks can be served there, so meetings can have their own private part of the hotel. The hotel is traditional in style. The club bedrooms have their own balconies.
The decor of this venue is tired, however, they are about to start refurbishment which will take at least a year, so be completed by the end of 2015. The hotel has a large amount of meeting space, but only 122 bedrooms, so works with the Copthorne London Gatwick for overflow accommodation (3 mins by car)
Hickstead Hotel
A 3* hotel that is better inside than it looks from the approach. The reception and meeting rooms are in the old part of the building and there is a newer wing with 54 bedrooms. The main meeting room is on the ground floor with access to a gravel garden, which can be used for breaks or lunch if the weather is good. There are two boardrooms in another area of the hotel on separate floors.
A good hotel for a regional meeting, without getting involved in the traffic of a town and plenty of free parking
South Lodge
Very impressive building and setting. It is a traditional hotel, with wood panneling and tapestries, terraces leading to gardens and views over the Sussex hills. The 12 meeting rooms are in one area of the hotel, on several floors, the largest takes 130 people on rounds. There is a new conference room, the Arundel, which has a fixed U-shaped table for 18 people. Tables in the Pass restaurant have views of the kitchen. It takes 32 for private hire.
There are bedrooms in the old part of the hotel and a newer wing. There is refurbishment going on at the moment. The head chef is Stephen Edwards, who won Masterchef in 2014, consequently the hotel is popular with leisure guests.
Take a look at venues in the Gatwick and Brighton area
I recently spent the day in Sussex, visiting hotels and venues Gatwick and Brighton area. There are a good variety of properties to choose from; something to suit all budgets and styles whether you want to be on the sea front, close to the airport or secluded in the country. For more information or to book any of these properties, just give our venue finding team a call on 01780 484050 or email VenueFinder@trinityconferences.co.uk
Grand Hotel, Brighton
5* Victorian hotel on the seafront which has recently been refurbished. It has three lovely interconnecting meeting rooms on the 1st floor with sea views which can be used separately, or as a suite with private dining, or break outs. The remaining meeting rooms are on the ground floor, not all have natural daylight. The largest room is on the left hand side of the hotel with its own entrance and can be divided into three. There is a wooden panelled room which used to be a library off the lobby area which would be good for a dinner and has an entrance from the bar, but does not have daylight.
The nicest bedrooms overlook the sea and there are three feature rooms, one of which has a wooden bath in the bedroom. The classic rooms are to the side or back of the hotel and don’t have views. There is a seafood restaurant with a conservatory area on the front with sea views. I thought that this was the best hotel of all the seafront properties.
Parking in Brighton is a problem generally. The hotel has 40 spaces which are available on a first-come, first-served basis or there is an NCP nearby.
Hilton Brighton Metropole
A 5* hotel on the seafront. It’s key selling point is the large meeting space. It has 9 small meeting rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors and some larger meeting rooms off the Lobby. These have recently been refurbished. At the back of the hotel there is a conference centre with 40+ meeting rooms for large events and exhibitions. This area is accessed by stairs and corridors and really needs the paintwork re-done and new carpet. There was a Bridge convention there when I visited and they had been in the hotel for 11 days.
I visited on a Sunday and couldn’t see a room for 30-40 people on the top floor of the hotel, which apparently has lovely views and is often used for drinks and dinners, as well as meetings.The Hilton works with all the other Brighton hotels for bedrooms when they have a large conference, particularly the Grand which is next door.Only the bedrooms in the front of the hotel have air conditioning. Classic bedrooms are on the side, back or inwards facing. Parking in Brighton is a problem generally. The hotel has limited parking or there is an NCP nearby.
Thistle Brighton
This is not a good looking hotel from the outside, but was purpose built about 30 years ago as a hotel and does not have the challenges of some of the older properties in Brighton. It is a good location with the sea front is on one side and the Lanes on the other. Inside it is built around an atrium so is bright. All 210 bedrooms are having a soft refurbishment this year. The maximum capacity for a residential group is 180. There are two bars, one which can be used for private receptions and is complimentary for groups of 50+. Most of the meeting space is on the 1st floor. The meeting foyer is shared between all groups, but an area can be sectioned off if required. All the meeting space has air conditioning and only one room does not have natural daylight. The ballroom is on the ground floor and is the only room I have seen with oval tables (not round) which would be good for 6-7 people in cabaret style. Executive bedrooms have sea views or face the Lanes and are good sized rooms. The standard rooms are internal facing to the atrium.
The Noblesse meeting room has a pillar in the middle, but would be good for a group of 30 to use half for a meeting and half for catering or break out space. The hotel is very leisure focussed in the school holidays and has an indoor heated pool, so attracts families. Car parking is in the Lanes NCP and the hotel offers 15% discount.
Mercure Brighton
4* hotel which is 150 years old and traditional in style. It is on the seafront in the direction of Hove. It looks a bit tired and needs some money spent. There are a variety of styles, carpets, paintwork etc. There are 7 meeting rooms and the largest takes 180 theatre-style. The meeting rooms are scattered around the hotel and accessed by corridors and stairs so not DDA compliant. The meeting rooms have air conditioning, but bedrooms do not. The largest room is the Ballroom on the ground floor which was refurbished in October 2013 and takes 180 theatre-style or 80 cabaret-style. There are two pillars at the side of the room and chandeliers.
The hotel has 12 parking spaces at the front and 30 at the back available on a first-come first-served basis. The nearest car parks are a 10 minute walk.
Myhotel Brighton
In the north Laine area of the city, next to the theatre and Pavilion. It is 6 years old and very contemporary with lots of white, pink and green decoration. There are crystals for Feng Shui and they have used local designers and source local products. It is run on eco-friendly principals with organic tea, chocolate etc and they recycle. Jubilee Square is on one side of the hotel and something happens there all the time. When I visited it was covered in astroturf and 4 table tennis tables were set up for anyone to use. Next month a large converted vintage car will be parked where people can go and watch a film. Then it will change to sculpture. There are only 2 meeting rooms and the maximum capacity of the larger room is 50 people, but fewer would be better. Both are white, bright rooms with natural daylight and air conditioning. Lunch is either served in the meeting room or 10 people can have a cold buffet in the bar. The hotel bar is a destination, and they can allocate a semi-private area for 50 people. It is a fun hotel, there is a photo booth in the bar area and you get a token with drinks. The bedrooms have a disposable camera and if you use it and leave it in the room, the hotel will send the developed pictures later. There are 80 bedrooms, all double beds and all with showers. They have wifi, dvd players and you can plug your iphone into the bedroom’s sound system. Signature rooms are on the corners and are all different in style. here is an Indian restaurant on site, run by an external company, tables need to be booked directly, but they will allocate a semi private area for a group from the hotel.
The hotel has a small underground car park and can allocate 10 spaces for meeting attendees, or there are NCP car parks nearby. Myhotel is probably not to everyone’s taste, it is very lively and fashionable. They do well with the IT, comms and travel industries.
Jurys Inn Brighton
4* hotel next to the station, about 10 mins walk to the North Laine area. There are 9 meeting rooms in a dedicated conference area. The largest room has access to a roof terrace and has capacity for 80 in cabaret style. The hotel does well with charities and associations and is fully DDA compliant. Everything was clean and tidy and it appeared to be efficient. All 234 bedrooms have double beds and triple glazed windows. There is free wifi throughout the hotel. There is some complimentary parking or there is a large car park opposite and it is half the price of the ones at the seafront.
The hotel will spend £2m on refurbishment. Bedrooms will be done a floor at a time starting in October 2014 and public areas done after Christmas. The rates are competitive as they recognise that they are not in the centre of town or on the seafront. But if you don’t want to get tangled up in Brighton’s traffic then it is a good option.
Ashdown Park
Traditional style hotel set in 1,500 acres of grounds with a lake, fountain and lovely views of the Ashdown Forest. It is a 19th century stone mansion, with a spa, golf and they can organise team building events. There are 14 meeting rooms of different sizes, which can be flexible with private dining. The highlight of the building is a converted chapel, which has function rooms on the ground and 1st floor. The ideal size group is 80-100 for this area and it would work well with a meeting on one floor and catering on the other. This would keep the group in one place and would be completely private. There is stained glass at one end of the building and a working organ, so is a spectacular dinner venue.
I stayed the night here and had a lovely large room and it was completely quiet, although there was a wedding reception in the hotel that evening. I ate in the Anderida Restaurant, the food, service and all the staff were excellent.
Roffey Park
I really enjoyed my visit to this management training centre. it is 5 minutes from the M23, just south of Gatwick. It is modern, bright and welcoming – a great place to have a meeting, conference or training event. It is not open to the public, so the clients are only there to work. Roffey is set in 40 acres of grounds and backs on to forest so it is peaceful and you have a feeling of space. There are paths around the grounds, lots of seating and areas for team building. It has a lovely indoor pool or you can borrow a bike to get some exercise. All meeting rooms are light and airy with natural daylight and all rooms on the ground floor open to the garden, so they have their own outside area. There are two restaurants which can be open, secluded or have private areas. There are 60 bedrooms, 10 of which are twins, in one wing of the property. They are plain, so designed for work, but have everything you need.
This is probably the best management training centre that I have visited. The environment was very pleasant and conducive to work. As it is not a hotel there is never an overlap with leisure guests. The staff were very welcoming and efficient and gave me an excellent sandwich lunch, with very fresh ingredients. If there is a large meeting and extra accommodation is needed, they use the Arora Gatwick.

The main house is an old hunting lodge with original features like a grand staircase, large windows and heavy wooden doors. The accommodation is split over this building and two other modern buildings. The resort is set on a slight hill and as beautiful views over Rutland Water. The resort has more of a family resort feel to it rather than a business feel but for corporate guests that want to get away from it all it would be ideal. The main room can split into three separate rooms.
The hotel is quite spread out and isn’t very flat! The main room which splits into three has two or three steps down between each section.

Stunning! This is a 16th century Elizabethan house that took 33 years to build. It has amazing, beautifully kept grounds and breath taking rooms within the house as well as the old kitchen. There are a number of spaces that can be offered for events, drinks receptions and dinners both inside and out. If you’re looking for something impressive, grand and spectacular, you should certainly give it a try. I was blown away.

Whilst the marquee in the grounds is fabulous for larger events, it isn’t allowed to be used after 8pm as it is next door to Stamford School for girls boarding house. Music isn’t allowed in the marquee. All this considered, there are a number of options in the main hotel for evening events with music.

This beautiful 16th century coaching inn is set in the pretty village of Wansford a short 10 minute drive from the city of Peterborough but also just off the A1. It has lots of history and was even a munitions factory during the war. The feel of the hotel is very traditional and maybe a little old fashioned in places, however that said, it does have a very friendly feel to it.

Situated just of the A1 in Stamford, there is ample parking. The hotel is part of the Burghley estate and used to be part of a boarding house for Stamford school. The Bull and Swan next door is also part of the Burghley estate and offers a further 7 bedrooms in addition to the 27 at the William Cecil. There is a resident’s lounge that can be hired out and is ideal for smaller meetings. The Burghley room is the largest. They also have a marquee in the grounds for larger events. The bedrooms are all very unique and is each named as well as having a number.
Whilst the marquee in the grounds is fabulous for larger events, it isn’t allowed to be used after 8pm as it is next door to Stamford School for girls boarding house. Music isn’t allowed in the marquee. All this considered, there are a number of options in the main hotel for evening events with music.
Burghley House
Stunning! This is a 16th century Elizabethan house that took 33 years to build. It has amazing, beautifully kept grounds and breath taking rooms within the house as well as the old kitchen. There are a number of spaces that can be offered for events, drinks receptions and dinners both inside and out. If you’re looking for something impressive, grand and spectacular, you should certainly give it a try. I was blown away.
The house has a family in residence and because of this there may be some restrictions at certain times.
Barnsdale Hall Hotel
The main house is an old hunting lodge with original features like a grand staircase, large windows and heavy wooden doors. The accommodation is split over this building and two other modern buildings. The resort is set on a slight hill and as beautiful views over Rutland Water. The resort has more of a family resort feel to it rather than a business feel but for corporate guests that want to get away from it all it would be ideal. The main room can split into three separate rooms.
The hotel is quite spread out and isn’t very flat! The main room which splits into three has two or three steps down between each section.
This beautiful 16th century coaching inn is set in the pretty village of Wansford a short 10 minute drive from the city of Peterborough but also just off the A1. It has lots of history and was even a munitions factory during the war. The feel of the hotel is very traditional and maybe a little old fashioned in places, however that said, it does have a very friendly feel to it.

Very traditional in style, this 16th century former manor house could be accused of being old fashioned but I actually think the style suits it very well and it is certainly full of character. It is set in a beautiful woodland location with established trees – giving the hotel a very tranquil feel. There is original furniture and paintings dotted all around this sprawling hotel and the ‘history window’ gives an insight into what life was once like. The main large room can be split into four separate spaces. The Great Room (once a gift from the man of the house to his wife) has direct access to the gardens, an orangery and a bar / lounge area. The hotel also owns the pub next door giving increased flexibility when it comes to dining options. Short taxi ride from the train station.

Whilst the marquee in the grounds is fabulous for larger events, it isn’t allowed to be used after 8pm as it is next door to Stamford School for girls boarding house. Music isn’t allowed in the marquee. All this considered, there are a number of options in the main hotel for evening events with music.
Burghley House
Stunning! This is a 16th century Elizabethan house that took 33 years to build. It has amazing, beautifully kept grounds and breath taking rooms within the house as well as the old kitchen. There are a number of spaces that can be offered for events, drinks receptions and dinners both inside and out. If you’re looking for something impressive, grand and spectacular, you should certainly give it a try. I was blown away.
The house has a family in residence and because of this there may be some restrictions at certain times.
Barnsdale Hall Hotel
The main house is an old hunting lodge with original features like a grand staircase, large windows and heavy wooden doors. The accommodation is split over this building and two other modern buildings. The resort is set on a slight hill and as beautiful views over Rutland Water. The resort has more of a family resort feel to it rather than a business feel but for corporate guests that want to get away from it all it would be ideal. The main room can split into three separate rooms.
The hotel is quite spread out and isn’t very flat! The main room which splits into three has two or three steps down between each section.
Very traditional in style, this 16th century former manor house could be accused of being old fashioned but I actually think the style suits it very well and it is certainly full of character. It is set in a beautiful woodland location with established trees – giving the hotel a very tranquil feel. There is original furniture and paintings dotted all around this sprawling hotel and the ‘history window’ gives an insight into what life was once like. The main large room can be split into four separate spaces. The Great Room (once a gift from the man of the house to his wife) has direct access to the gardens, an orangery and a bar / lounge area. The hotel also owns the pub next door giving increased flexibility when it comes to dining options. Short taxi ride from the train station.
It is in a quiet location but don’t be fooled that it’s out of the way – it’s really close to the main road network in the city. Due to the nature and age of the building, there is no lift.
Marriott Peterborough
This hotel is well positioned very close to the A1 and main road network within the city and has plenty of free parking. It is also a couple of minutes from the Peterborough Arena for events that are taking place there. It has a very relaxed yet business like feel to it, the large attractive reception has a view through to the bar (with lovely outside space) and restaurant – although not open, it gives a feel of spaciousness, there are comfy seats and a fire place. The largest meeting room will accommodate 300 theatre and the other large room will hold 140 theatre however neither room has primary natural daylight.
Wi-Fi is available free of charge in the lobby but there is a charge in the rooms. No lift.
Haycock Hotel
This beautiful 16th century coaching inn is set in the pretty village of Wansford a short 10 minute drive from the city of Peterborough but also just off the A1. It has lots of history and was even a munitions factory during the war. The feel of the hotel is very traditional and maybe a little old fashioned in places, however that said, it does have a very friendly feel to it. The business centre has 6 meeting rooms holding 4-15 people. The large Ballroom has its own entrance and access to beautiful gardens. There is no lift in this venue.
William Cecil
Situated just of the A1 in Stamford, there is ample parking. The hotel is part of the Burghley estate and used to be part of a boarding house for Stamford school.

This is a well-established hotel in Peterborough in a good location not far from the A1 and main links through the city but also a short walk from the attractive Ferry Meadows and all that has to offer. The reception is fresh yet traditional in style – slight colonial style feel about it. The hotel has two large meeting spaces – the larger of the two can accommodate 450 theatre with high ceilings and car access and a large pre function foyer. There is also a smaller meeting space also with its own foyer area. The hotel has a good modern business like conference centre with 6 rooms and a conference café – perfect for smaller meetings from 4 to 20 people. The bar has a relaxing feel about it and the restaurant benefits from a semi private dining area. There is also a great leisure facilities for those who will have time to benefit from them.
The hotel has quite a tired feel from the outside and looks quite dated however this feel doesn’t continue to the inside of the property.

The bar has a relaxing feel about it and the restaurant benefits from a semi private dining area. There is also a great leisure facilities for those who will have time to benefit from them.
The hotel has quite a tired feel from the outside and looks quite dated however this feel doesn’t continue to the inside of the property.
Orton Hall
Very traditional in style, this 16th century former manor house could be accused of being old fashioned but I actually think the style suits it very well and it is certainly full of character. It is set in a beautiful woodland location with established trees – giving the hotel a very tranquil feel. There is original furniture and paintings dotted all around this sprawling hotel and the ‘history window’ gives an insight into what life was once like. The main large room can be split into four separate spaces. The Great Room (once a gift from the man of the house to his wife) has direct access to the gardens, an orangery and a bar / lounge area. The hotel also owns the pub next door giving increased flexibility when it comes to dining options. Short taxi ride from the train station.
It is in a quiet location but don’t be fooled that it’s out of the way – it’s really close to the main road network in the city. Due to the nature and age of the building, there is no lift.
Marriott Peterborough
This hotel is well positioned very close to the A1 and main road network within the city and has plenty of free parking. It is also a couple of minutes from the Peterborough Arena for events that are taking place there. It has a very relaxed yet business like feel to it, the large attractive reception has a view through to the bar (with lovely outside space) and restaurant – although not open, it gives a feel of spaciousness, there are comfy seats and a fire place. The largest meeting room will accommodate 300 theatre and the other large room will hold 140 theatre however neither room has primary natural daylight.
Wi-Fi is available free of charge in the lobby but there is a charge in the rooms. No lift.
Haycock Hotel
This beautiful 16th century coaching inn is set in the pretty village of Wansford a short 10 minute drive from the city of Peterborough but also just off the A1. It has lots of history and was even a munitions factory during the war. The feel of the hotel is very traditional and maybe a little old fashioned in places, however that said, it does have a very friendly feel to it. The business centre has 6 meeting rooms holding 4-15 people. The large Ballroom has its own entrance and access to beautiful gardens. There is no lift in this venue.
William Cecil
Situated just of the A1 in Stamford, there is ample parking. The hotel is part of the Burghley estate and used to be part of a boarding house for Stamford school. The Bull and Swan next door is also part of the Burghley estate and offers a further 7 bedrooms in addition to the 27 at the William Cecil. There is a resident’s lounge that can be hired out and is ideal for smaller meetings. The Burghley room is the largest. They also have a marquee in the grounds for larger events. The bedrooms are all very unique and is each named as well as having a number.
Whilst the marquee in the grounds is fabulous for larger events, it isn’t allowed to be used after 8pm as it is next door to Stamford School for girls boarding house. Music isn’t allowed in the marquee. All this considered, there are a number of options in the main hotel for evening events with music.
Burghley House
Stunning! This is a 16th century Elizabethan house that took 33 years to build. It has amazing, beautifully kept grounds and breath taking rooms within the house as well as the old kitchen. There are a number of spaces that can be offered for events, drinks receptions and dinners both inside and out. If you’re looking for something impressive, grand and spectacular, you should certainly give it a try. I was blown away.
The house has a family in residence and because of this there may be some restrictions at certain times.
Barnsdale Hall Hotel
The main house is an old hunting lodge with original features like a grand staircase, large windows and heavy wooden doors. The accommodation is split over this building and two other modern buildings. The resort is set on a slight hill and as beautiful views over Rutland Water. The resort has more of a family resort feel to it rather than a business feel but for corporate guests that want to get away from it all it would be ideal. The main room can split into three separate rooms.
The hotel is quite spread out and isn’t very flat! The main room which splits into three has two or three steps down between each section.
Ideally located on one of the main parkways through the city, this is a recently built hotel providing very easy access from the train station and to the city centre. The hotel has its own secure car park. The bar, reception and restaurant is one large spacious and bright area that runs from front to back. The feel is modern and comfortable. The recently refurbished conference space consists of a pre function area and three rooms all of which have removable partitions to create one large room for a larger event or Christmas party (max 100 people on full rounds). One of the rooms has a cleverly concealed bar and is hidden further behind a screen. On the ground floor, the space benefits from lots of natural daylight. This is a good 3 star hotel centrally located on a main road, however I was unable to hear the road from the bedrooms.
Holiday Inn Peterborough
This is a well-established hotel in Peterborough in a good location not far from the A1 and main links through the city but also a short walk from the attractive Ferry Meadows and all that has to offer. The reception is fresh yet traditional in style – slight colonial style feel about it. The hotel has two large meeting spaces – the larger of the two can accommodate 450 theatre with high ceilings and car access and a large pre function foyer. There is also a smaller meeting space also with its own foyer area. The hotel has a good modern business like conference centre with 6 rooms and a conference café – perfect for smaller meetings from 4 to 20 people.

Trinity’s Kate Willimer visited several hotels in Peterborough to see what they have to offer. Read her report below!
Park Inn Peterborough
Ideally located on one of the main parkways through the city, this is a recently built hotel providing very easy access from the train station and to the city centre. The hotel has its own secure car park. The bar, reception and restaurant is one large spacious and bright area that runs from front to back. The feel is modern and comfortable. The recently refurbished conference space consists of a pre function area and three rooms all of which have removable partitions to create one large room for a larger event or Christmas party (max 100 people on full rounds). One of the rooms has a cleverly concealed bar and is hidden further behind a screen. On the ground floor, the space benefits from lots of natural daylight. This is a good 3 star hotel centrally located on a main road, however I was unable to hear the road from the bedrooms.
Holiday Inn Peterborough
This is a well-established hotel in Peterborough in a good location not far from the A1 and main links through the city but also a short walk from the attractive Ferry Meadows and all that has to offer. The reception is fresh yet traditional in style – slight colonial style feel about it. The hotel has two large meeting spaces – the larger of the two can accommodate 450 theatre with high ceilings and car access and a large pre function foyer. There is also a smaller meeting space also with its own foyer area. The hotel has a good modern business like conference centre with 6 rooms and a conference café – perfect for smaller meetings from 4 to 20 people. The bar has a relaxing feel about it and the restaurant benefits from a semi private dining area. There is also a great leisure facilities for those who will have time to benefit from them.
The hotel has quite a tired feel from the outside and looks quite dated however this feel doesn’t continue to the inside of the property.
Orton Hall
Very traditional in style, this 16th century former manor house could be accused of being old fashioned but I actually think the style suits it very well and it is certainly full of character. It is set in a beautiful woodland location with established trees – giving the hotel a very tranquil feel. There is original furniture and paintings dotted all around this sprawling hotel and the ‘history window’ gives an insight into what life was once like. The main large room can be split into four separate spaces. The Great Room (once a gift from the man of the house to his wife) has direct access to the gardens, an orangery and a bar / lounge area. The hotel also owns the pub next door giving increased flexibility when it comes to dining options. Short taxi ride from the train station.
It is in a quiet location but don’t be fooled that it’s out of the way – it’s really close to the main road network in the city. Due to the nature and age of the building, there is no lift.
Marriott Peterborough
This hotel is well positioned very close to the A1 and main road network within the city and has plenty of free parking. It is also a couple of minutes from the Peterborough Arena for events that are taking place there. It has a very relaxed yet business like feel to it, the large attractive reception has a view through to the bar (with lovely outside space) and restaurant – although not open, it gives a feel of spaciousness, there are comfy seats and a fire place. The largest meeting room will accommodate 300 theatre and the other large room will hold 140 theatre however neither room has primary natural daylight.
Wi-Fi is available free of charge in the lobby but there is a charge in the rooms. No lift.
Haycock Hotel
This beautiful 16th century coaching inn is set in the pretty village of Wansford a short 10 minute drive from the city of Peterborough but also just off the A1. It has lots of history and was even a munitions factory during the war. The feel of the hotel is very traditional and maybe a little old fashioned in places, however that said, it does have a very friendly feel to it. The business centre has 6 meeting rooms holding 4-15 people. The large Ballroom has its own entrance and access to beautiful gardens. There is no lift in this venue.
William Cecil
Situated just of the A1 in Stamford, there is ample parking. The hotel is part of the Burghley estate and used to be part of a boarding house for Stamford school. The Bull and Swan next door is also part of the Burghley estate and offers a further 7 bedrooms in addition to the 27 at the William Cecil. There is a resident’s lounge that can be hired out and is ideal for smaller meetings. The Burghley room is the largest. They also have a marquee in the grounds for larger events. The bedrooms are all very unique and is each named as well as having a number.
Whilst the marquee in the grounds is fabulous for larger events, it isn’t allowed to be used after 8pm as it is next door to Stamford School for girls boarding house. Music isn’t allowed in the marquee. All this considered, there are a number of options in the main hotel for evening events with music.
Burghley House
Stunning! This is a 16th century Elizabethan house that took 33 years to build. It has amazing, beautifully kept grounds and breath taking rooms within the house as well as the old kitchen. There are a number of spaces that can be offered for events, drinks receptions and dinners both inside and out. If you’re looking for something impressive, grand and spectacular, you should certainly give it a try. I was blown away.
The house has a family in residence and because of this there may be some restrictions at certain times.
Barnsdale Hall Hotel
The main house is an old hunting lodge with original features like a grand staircase, large windows and heavy wooden doors. The accommodation is split over this building and two other modern buildings. The resort is set on a slight hill and as beautiful views over Rutland Water. The resort has more of a family resort feel to it rather than a business feel but for corporate guests that want to get away from it all it would be ideal. The main room can split into three separate rooms.
The hotel is quite spread out and isn’t very flat! The main room which splits into three has two or three steps down between each section.
