Hilton Cardiff

In an enviable city centre location right opposite the castle, Hilton Cardiff hosts countless cosmopolitan weddings each year and with capacity for up to 350 guests it’s a popular choice for all kinds of business meetings and events, whether it’s a conference, product launch, awards presentation, training session, exhibition, AGM or smaller executive meeting. Think ahead to those all important social events and celebrations too – the Christmas party, a summer drinks reception, retirement parties and all manner of celebrations.

The hotel has 7 meeting rooms, a business centre and Executive Lounge; expect state of the art audio visual equipment, complimentary wifi and a very attentive team to help plan and run your event. The ground floor Ballroom gives you 3,651 square feet of event space to seat 350 people in theatre style or 290 banqueting in rounds. This huge room can be divided in two to give you the choice of The Ballroom – Castle Suite or The Ballroom – Friary Suite; both accommodate 170 for a conference or awards presentation, or 140 for dinner. On the first floor the Sophia Suite holds 50 in theatre style or for a banquet, and the slightly smaller Roath Suite has capacity for 40. For very small and discreet meetings and interviews. The Victoria Suite seats 20 and the Bute boardroom, 14. Hilton hotels have their own reasonably priced meetings package for up to 25 delegates, with a choice of menus.

No need to worry if you have delegates requiring an overnight stay; Hilton Cardiff has 197 stylish and spacious rooms with TVs, work desks, air con and a mini fridge. There’s an excellent in-house restaurant, Greys, providing a very relaxed contemporary setting where you can tuck into British and local classics; country style, big on flavour, made with top notch local produce. There’s also the very swish Metropole Lounge, for a bit of sophistication, smooth jazz, cocktails and canapes. The health conscious will be very happy with the Living Well Health Club with gym, pool, steam room, sauna and spa pool; those who like to be pampered will love the beauty treatment rooms.

Hilton Cardiff is less than a mile from the Central Railway Station and only 30 minutes from Cardiff Airport.
