Celebrations & Banqueting

Nestled between the Courtyard Restaurant and Courtyard Lounges on the ground floor of the hotel, the bar offers a stylish location for everything from pre and post-dinner drinks, to networking and relaxation space alongside your conference. It's also the perfect space to grab a drink and bite to eat if you're staying the night pre or post-event. Come the summer, you can head straight out into the central courtyard to enjoy the late evening sun with a selection of drinks from our thoughtfully selected drinks and wine menus.

The bar also adds all of the extras for your main dinners, with a varied wine list, bar tariff and great selection of drinks packages for the table, including locally sourced options and non-alcoholic selections.
