The Brooklands Hotel – Not Just For Car Themed Events

The Brooklands Hotel has been open for five years and is contemporary in style.  It is really easy to find as there are brown signs to Mercedes Benz World on all the roads in the area and the hotel is on the approach road.  It is contemporary in style and reflects the motor racing history of Brooklands in the artwork and there is a marker on the floor of the foyer where the racetrack used to be.  This venue is ideal to use either on its own or in conjunction with Mercedes Benz World.  It is also possible to organise a dining experience in a hangar at the Brooklands Museum.

All the meeting space is on the ground floor to the left of reception.  There is space for a private check-in area in the reception foyer, or the meeting space has a separate entrance, foyer and bar.  There are five meeting rooms, the largest holds 80 in cabaret style, but they are flexible and apart from one set boardroom the other four can be divided into smaller sections.  There is a semi-circular room at the end of the building for 50 people, but would be better used for private dining as there is a pillar in the centre.  All rooms have TVs which are hidden by sliding wall to floor screens.  Conference organisers are given a tablet with an app, so they can contact the hotel staff immediately with requests, changes to the schedule etc.

The Brooklands Hotel has 131 bedrooms, which are larger than average and all with large beds and rain showers.  There is a spa.  The restaurant has two AA rosettes and can take a group of 25 and has a set round table for 12.

Considerations

The ideal residential conference for this hotel is up to 60 people and they love weekend events.

The hotel has no outside space for groups, apart from some seating outside the restaurant next to car parking.  However, there is a park at the end of the road (2 mins walk) which can be hired from the council for £200 and used for outside activities.
