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.

Covid-19 safety measures

With your safety in mind, we’ve changed how we run meetings and events at The Connaught Hotel and Spa. Our new procedures are under constant review and will always follow the latest government advice.

Contactless Service & Enhanced Cleaning

Whether it’s checking in and out, ordering refreshments or booking a spa treatment – we have invested in making our services available digitally. Meeting rooms are cleaned and fully sanitised between each use and we are operating on a card payment only system in all areas of the hotel.

Our enhanced deep cleaning programme is carried out throughout the whole hotel, perspex screens have been installed where possible and all of our team will follow a policy of no physical contact, maintaining social distancing wherever possible.

Meeting Room Layout

We have ensured that our new meeting room layouts meet government guidelines on social distancing to ensure you and your delegates remain safe. See our new meeting rooms capacities below.

All tables and chairs can be moved around too so you can always move even further apart if the space allows it.

Hand Sanitiser

We have installed hand sanitising stations in all public areas of the hotel and are ensuring all touch points are sanitised after each use. Guests are required to wear a face mask in all public areas of the hotel (excludes areas such as the restaurant, bar, spa and bedrooms).

Refreshments and Lunch

Food and refreshments can be pre-ordered from our team for pre-arranged times throughout the day. We are also able to provide packed lunches individually and safely wrapped for each delegate if you prefer.

Find out how we’re keeping you safe throughout all the other areas of the hotel during your visit and read about the Covid-19 control measures that we have put in place for business meetings.

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.

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 Oma bed and breakfast basis for myself and 3 collegues. Very clean, relaxing hotel, bar food very good, swimming pool and gym very good. Staff very helpful. Will stay again when next in bournmouth.

Great business trip

We had a most enjoyable stay, rooms clean and air conditioned, staff were without exception very helpful and obviously well trained. Food was excellent especially deserts. A good breakfast with plenty of Toast!

Great Food

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.
