Winchester Royal Hotel

The Winchester Royal Hotel makes a refined setting for business meetings and events for up to 120 delegates, including conferences, product launches, team building and training days, exhibitions, product launches and board meetings. It's also a very dignified backdrop to networking receptions, private dinners, awards ceremonies and corporate parties.

The Winchester Royal Hotel dates back to the 16th century and has a seamless blend of the traditional and modern, hence its popularity as a wedding venue; interiors are classic and timeless, whilst facilities and service are firmly planted in the 21st century.

There are 5 flexible meeting rooms; the biggest is Darials, with capacity for 120 delegates in theatre style and for a networking reception, 100 dining or 40 in U-shape. The slightly smaller Winton holds 100 people in theatre style, for drinks and for dinner, or 25 in U-shape. The Hampshire accommodates 50 for champagne and canapes and in theatre style, 36 for private dining and 28 in boardroom layout. The Writing Room holds 40 guests in theatre style, 30 for a soiree, 24 for private dining and 16 for a board meeting. For smaller meetings book the Boardroom, which seats 12.

All meeting rooms have high speed wifi, natural daylight, and air con. Up-to-the-minute audio-visual equipment and catering can be arranged to suit your event, there's an informal lounge for refreshments and breakouts, and you'll have an expert team on hand to make sure all swings along nicely. Worth considering are the attractively priced delegate packages.

On site is an award-winning restaurant, a gorgeous walled garden, and 81 beautifully designed bedrooms. Unusual for a city centre, there is also parking, though Winchester train station is within walking distance and the city is easily reached from the M3, A34 and A31.
