There are two meeting rooms, with industrial styling or if you want to take the meeting outside, there is also a terrace and rooftop studio, which can also be used for a drinks reception or party.
The New Road Hotel has 80 bedrooms, a fitness studio and social zones with live music, pool tables and a library.
