Holiday Inn Fareham - Solent

Holiday Inn Fareham is hard to beat when it comes to great value meetings and conference facilities, with four designated event spaces for up to 170 guests. Great for conferences, training days, awards ceremonies, presentations, and board meetings, and for those more sociable gala dinners, drinks receptions and the not-to-be-missed Christmas party. The fact that it’s a popular venue for weddings and celebrations reflects the versatility of this on-trend hotel.

As a whole, the Abbey Suite holds up to 170 guests for a networking reception, and seats 140 in theatre style or 120 dining. When divided into two smaller rooms, Abbey Suite 1 accommodates 70 people for a reception, 84 in theatre style, 60 for a banquet and 27 in boardroom configuration. If we stick with those respective layouts the numbers for Abbey Suite 2 are only slightly less at 65, 56, 40 and 24. What’s good about this suite is that it opens out onto a private courtyard, so it’s good for summer events, or for when breakout space is required. The Millrace Suite has capacity for a small drinks party or lunch/dinner for 30 guests, a theatre style presentation for 40 or a board meeting for 24, and the Anjou Suite is perfect for more discreet meetings and interviews for up to 20.

All meeting rooms have natural daylight, air con, high speed wifi and up-to-the-minute audio visual technology, though the professional events team will arrange more to suit your event if required. They’ll also help with your menu choices, whether you want a buffet style working lunch or a full-on evening feast.

Guest bedrooms are good sizes and modern in style, with Satellite TV, internet access, a work desk and 24 hour room service. The slick and modern in-house restaurant serves a range of fresh and tasty delights; and there’s a Bar & Lounge for light bites. Hotel guests have use of the Spirit Health Club where there’s a pool, gym, and spa facilities.

Holiday Inn Fareham is located at Titchfield, not far from the M27 between Southampton and Portsmouth. Southampton Airport is only a 20 minute drive away and there is plenty of on-site parking at the hotel for guests.
