Holiday Inn Southampton

Holiday Inn have really got it right; all their recent refurbishments are making a huge difference and transforming their hotels into bright and funky places with everything under one roof, so it makes sense to hire one of their well-equipped meeting rooms for your next corporate event for up to 220 delegates. This one is right in the middle of Southampton, bringing convenience and great facilities to your next conference, seminar, training day, awards presentation, banquet, networking reception or executive meeting.

There are 7 meeting rooms with air con, high speed wifi and complete flexibility when it comes to layouts, state-of-the-art audiovisual technology and catering options. Overseeing your event and helping you in the planning stages will be an experienced meetings host. Let’s look at those event spaces: at 296 square metres, the Hampshire Suite is the biggie, accommodating 220 guests at a champagne reception or 120 for a banquet. The Hamble offers nearly 137 square metres of space for receptions and conferences for 120 people or dining for 72; the Avon has capacity for 70 delegates in theatre style, 60 for a drinks reception, 40 dining, and 30 in hollow square or boardroom configuration.

Not far behind, the Romsey and the Winchester both seat 50 folk in theatre style and hold 40 for a reception or in hollow square arrangement, or 20 round a board table. The Avon 2 is a smaller room suitable for 30 delegates in theatre style, a board meeting for 20 or lunch/dinner for 16; the similar sized Lyndhurst is another good choice for small receptions for 30, or for private dining and board meetings for 16.

Hotel rooms are stylishly trendy with satellite TV, tea and coffee making facilities and 24-hour room service. There’s a bar with a very relaxing atmosphere for post work drinks, snacks and light meals, though they do offer all day dining in the Open Lobby; a great space for working, eating, socialising and relaxing. Guests can also visit the in-house Spirit Health Club and make use of the fully equipped gym, 15 metre heated pool, jacuzzi and sauna.

Find holiday Inn Southampton just 2 minutes from West Quay close to all transport links; there’s plenty of parking for guests at the hotel (charged).
