MEETING ROOMS BOURNEMOUTH
Make waves in one of our luxury meeting venues
Venue Hire Bournemouth
At just 500m from Bournemouth town centre and 1.5 miles from its mainland railway station, The Connaught Hotel and Spa is the ideal destination if you’re looking for Bournemouth conference venues. We offer two fully appointed conference suites, each with high speed wifi and lots of natural light.
Located on the ground floor of our Connaught Lodge, our two meeting rooms are in a quiet location away from holidaying guests in the main hotel. Your delegates could even stay over in the Connaught Lodge for convenient direct access to the meeting rooms.
The Franklyn Suite
The larger of our two hotel meeting rooms, The Franklyn suite holds 25 to 150 delegates, making it the perfect Bournemouth conference venue. Ideal for drinks receptions, company kick-off meetings and business conferences, among other large-scale events.
Together with its own bar, The Franklyn Suite benefits from a private lounge and an enclosed courtyard garden. Plus, its neighbouring proximity to our smaller Boardroom, which can be hired as a syndicate room if required.
The Boardroom
Bournemouth meeting rooms don’t come much better than The Boardroom, if you’re looking for an intimate working space. Available to hire privately, or in conjunction with our larger Franklyn Suite,
The Boardroom is the perfect meeting room for groups of 8-20 delegates or as a private dining venue for a maximum of 16 guests seated. Chair and table formations can be arranged as required. Business materials such as flip charts, LCD projectors and screens, are also available on request.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Executive double room was spacious clean and modern with seating area large TV balcony and seating. Air conditioning unit helped with the warm weather and hypoallergenic duvet and pillows helped with the hay fever. The breakfast was excellent with good choice especially if you didn’t want a cooked breakfast. Lounge and seating area welcoming and comfortable. A great find
Great hotel to stay for the conference venue
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Booked 2 twin rooms On bed and breakfast basis for myself and 3 colleagues. Very clean, relaxing hotel, bar food very good, swimming pool and gym very good. Staff very helpful. Will stay again when next in Bournemouth.
Great business trip
I would recommend this hotel for the young and old. Great rates which you would expect from a Best Western. Friendly staff always ready to help. Great breakfast and the brasserie was just perfect all at a reasonable price. The pool was just fantastic. Had no problem with parking, a great weekend. Will return.
Smart stay
