Business Engage Profiles Stop press! Why the Telegraph Hotel is perfect for meetings and events

Coventry’s Telegraph Hotel is proving to be a hit for meetings and events in the city – thanks to its flexibility and versatility.

The hotel, which was once the hub of local news as the home of the Coventry Evening Telegraph, is now enjoying a different kind of daily buzz – from overnight guests through to restaurant diners and those who simply pop in for coffee to sit back and relax and enjoy the 1950s-style surroundings that were carefully maintained when the building was transformed into a hotel and opened back in 2021.

It is also alive with businesses and organisations booking meeting spaces and holding events due to its perfect location and its tailor-made packages.

For example, the versatile Editors meetings and events space can accommodate up to 140 delegates and can be split with a soundproof partition wall to enable two meeting spaces.

It is ideal for small to large meetings, networking events, team training days, presentations and private lunches and dinners.

Editors can also be transformed for special events such as private parties, gala and conference dinners as well as awards ceremonies.

The Boardroom and Directors rooms offer a throwback to yesteryear as Lord Iliffe’s (a former owner of the Evening Telegraph) original meeting rooms.

They include many of the original features and are perfect for private meetings, interviews or training and can accommodate up to 12 delegates.

Package details are available via the Telegraph Hotel’s website and include everything from room hire and AV equipment through to high-quality food and drink options, as well as a dedicated member of staff to ensure the event or meeting runs smoothly.

Amy Windsor, General Manager at the Telegraph Hotel, said it is the versatility of the meetings and events offer – as well as the cool surroundings – that makes the hotel stand out from the crowd.

She said: “Over the past three and a half years, the Telegraph has brought something new to the city centre. An iconic building that has been painstakingly transformed into a hotel that reflects the history of the former newspaper office but also offers great facilities.

“People love it here – whether they are staying for the night or holding an event with us – and they come back regularly.

“When it comes to meetings and events, we host a whole range of different businesses and organisations. Some who need a meeting space for the day for a board meeting, while others who are putting on training or a conference.

“While we do have delegate rates to view on our website, we value the opportunity to speak to each individual client to tailor a package to their needs and to their budget.

“Again, that’s something that gets great feedback and we’re really looking forward to welcoming more and more organisations in 2025!” noun Pronounce: Shuh-bang
