The Forest Hotel
Sometimes the best things come in smaller packages; book an event at this privately run boutique hotel in Dorridge, Solihull and you’ll find it’s rather like being welcomed at a friend’s beautiful home, the cosiness and the level of service is that good, that attentive. The red brick Victorian building with fabulous contemporary interiors makes the perfect setting for weddings, parties and celebrations and for business meetings and events for up to 200 guests; a unique venue for conferences, seminars, training days, awards ceremonies, presentations and smaller executive meetings.
The Forest Hotel has 2 conference rooms, both have high speed wifi, air con, and dimmable lighting so you can set the scene, create the atmosphere you want. The Olive Room is the biggest and it’s got its own bar, which makes it ideal for Christmas or summer parties; it seats a maximum of 120 people in theatre style, 60 in cabaret layout, and 40 in boardroom configuration. The smaller Claret Room has capacity for up to 40 in theatre style, 20 for a board meeting and 18 in cabaret arrangement.
Whatever your event you’ll be shown extensive menus, so you can choose exactly what you want, and what you’ll get is homemade food from an award-winning team of chefs, so you know it’s going to be good whether it’s a buffet lunch or a three course dinner. Day and 24-hour delegate rates are attractively priced, with all the basic meetings equipment you need, and all-modern AV technology tailored to your requirements.
Overnight guests will be more than happy with any of the 12 ensuite bedrooms; all are warm and homely, each one individually designed with imagination and flair. There are Freeview TVs, complimentary wireless internet access, and tea and coffee making facilities. The hotel has listings in the Michelin, Good Food and Good Beer guides, so you can expect top notch fare in the restaurant and a superb selection of drinks in the Bar.
The hotel, and in fact the whole village of Dorridge came to be so that the man who lived there, his family and guests could catch the early morning train to London; the station is just across the road. There is free on-site parking, good access to the M42 and the M40, and Birmingham airport is within easy reach. A superb and convenient West Midlands venue, what’s not to book?
