The Roseate Reading
With lots of eclectic art, this stunning boutique hotel on the outskirts of Reading city centre takes opulence to new heights with heaps of historic character and opulent décor.

With three amazing meeting rooms, the hotel is fully equipped to host business gatherings of any size in luxurious yet modern surroundings. The Eden is the largest room, seating 40 for sit down dining and 50 in theatre or buffet style, whilst the distinctive Library room caters for up to 20 in the same layout. The smaller boardroom, the Cellar, has capacity for 14 delegates, with plush seating and a 52” wall mounted flat screen TV.
These stylish rooms all have air conditioning, state of the art technology and free Wi-Fi. Events can be tailored to your requirements and can include dinner and accommodation. There is also a Private Cinema room which offers a luxurious space for up to 30 guests - perfect for presentations or press launches. For larger events, exclusive use of the hotel is possible, giving you all the space and privacy you need.
The Eden room and the Library are also perfect for that dream wedding, being licensed for civil ceremonies. The events team will help you to plan your perfect day, with all the details just as you want them. The function rooms and the cinema are also available to hire for other private gatherings, or why not really go for it and opt for the exclusive use of the hotel?
