Leonardo Hotel Cheltenham

You don’t need us to tell you that the impressive Georgian architecture of Cheltenham makes a beautiful backdrop for city weddings, but it works equally well for business meetings and events so if you’re looking for a convenient location and top-notch facilities for up to 400 guests book Leonardo Hotel Cheltenham for your next exhibition, conference, AGM, training day, or team building event. Hire space for an awards ceremony, gala dinner or Christmas party, and for hush-hush meetings for just a handful of executives.

The 12 sleek and stylish meeting rooms all have air con, complimentary wifi, an LCD projector and screen. Additional audio-visual equipment can be arranged as required, and you can select delicious food tailored to your event. Day and 24-hour delegate packages are available and you’ll have the services of a very efficient events team.

On to those rooms; the biggest is the ground floor Executive Suite which has a private bar and seats up to 400 people in theatre style, 320 dining, and 240 in cabaret layout. Next up is the Corinthia Suite, for 230 delegates in theatre style, 150 for a banquet, and 130 for a dinner dance. The Stuart Suite seats 100 guests in theatre style, 80 for dinner, and 40 in classroom style, then moving down in size, the Warwick has capacity for 75 in theatre style, 60 dining, and 35 in U-shape, and the slightly smaller Cotswold holds 60 in theatre style, 50 for private dining, and 30 in boardroom arrangement. The Penthouse 1 and the Castle Suite both hold 40 people in theatre style and 20/22 in boardroom configuration, and the Badgeworth holds 30 and 14 in the same respective layouts. Finally, the Boardroom and Penthouse 2 are both ideal for meetings for 8.

Put your overnight guests up in any of the 122 up-to-the-minute bedrooms, and post conference head to the Lounge Bar for relaxing drinks or the Burford Room Restaurant for tasty chow in an informal setting. Unwind with a session in the fully equipped gym, a game of tennis or a swim, or make a beeline for the steam room and sauna.

The hotel is on the edge of town and has plenty of parking; it’s easily reached from the M5, A40 and M40. Cheltenham Spa railway station is only a short drive away; Bristol and Birmingham International Airports can be reached in about an hour.
