Holiday Inn Reading-South today announced it was named the #9 Top Meeting Venue in the UK by Cvent. The Top Meeting Venues list spotlights hotel brands, independent properties and unique venues that set themselves apart by delivering outstanding group experiences through thoughtful event planner collaboration, exceptional service, and tailored event offerings. Rankings are determined based on sourcing data from Venue Directory, a Cvent company, offering a unique view into event planner and third-party demand across the UK venue landscape.
Situated just minutes from M4 Junction 11 and two miles from Reading town centre, Holiday Inn Reading-South offers flexible meeting and event facilities ideal for everything from board meetings to large conferences.
The hotel features 11 conference suites of different capacities, including the Grenadier Suite for up to 180 delegates. The suites, which all feature natural daylight and air conditioning, regularly host dinner dances, team building sessions, charity fundraising events, and Christmas parties later in the year.
Guests can also enjoy the contemporary Open Lobby serving Starbucks coffee and all-day dining, ideal for informal meetings. With modern AV technology, dedicated on-site support, 202 fully air-conditioned bedrooms, and 282 on-site car parking spaces, including coach parking, the hotel provides a seamless and comfortable experience for business and leisure guests.
