Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

Bournemouth, Dorset

Enjoying a clifftop location just steps from the beach, this iconic building boasts sweeping views of the channel and is needless to say, a fantastic venue for weddings and private celebrations as well as all kinds of corporate events. Conferences, presentations, product launches, AGM’s, training sessions, team building days, board meetings, receptions, gala dinners … you name it, they’ve got the space for it and they’ve got it covered.

With all that sea air and inspiring views you should expect a fully focused business event! The Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel has 10 function rooms, with the largest, the Dorchester accommodating 350 delegates in theatre style or up to 500 for a reception! Bryanston seat 100 people in theatre style or 50 when configured in schoolroom layout, whilst the Shaftesbury and Sherborne have capacity for 50 in theatre style or 80 for a standing reception. The Sandbanks Suite seats a maximum of 40 guests, The Blandford Suite 35, and the Yeovil Room, 25. For more discreet executive meetings, training sessions and interviews, opt for the Blandford Syndicate 2 or 3, seating up to 16 and 25 respectively.

For something entirely different, there’s Harry’s Bar, a blank canvas for your exclusive party event. There’s the extensive lawns for team building activities, or for lunches, barbecues and receptions – perhaps the perfect way to round off a busy day or to reward your hard-working team. Why not book the hotel’s private beach hut, wander down to the sands, roll up your trouser legs and have a well-deserved paddle?

The Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel have a polished Meetings Team who will be at your beck and call throughout your event; you’ll have a selection of menu options to choose from, and AV equipment will be set up to suit your requirements, plus there’s complimentary high speed wifi.
