This month we’re focusing on three handy hotels in Northampton, the county town in the East Midlands that is considered the ‘centre of England’ and therefore a convenient meeting place for those whose delegates are scattered evenly around the country. Our chosen venues are all purpose-built hotels, each with something different to offer.

Heart of the city

The Park Inn by Radisson is located just a short walk from the train station in the heart of Northampton’s town centre. The purpose built hotel has 146 modern en-suite rooms and has recently been refurbished to a very high standard, which adds to the appeal.

There are 12 self-contained meeting rooms to choose from, all located on the ground floor for easy accessibility. The largest (the Buckingham room) can accommodate up to 600 using a theatre style layout or 350 cabaret style. On-site parking is available for up to 160 cars, which is a bonus for such a central hotel. Guests are given complimentary access to the on-site health club so delegates are free to unwind in the sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi after a busy meeting.

The hotel allows you to book some of the meeting rooms by the hour, making it an interesting option for smaller businesses wanting to impress their bigger clients and prospects!

The largest of the rooms can accommodate up to 420 guests or delegates, making it suitable for big corporate events and grand celebrations alike.

Despite its countryside location the hotel is quite easy to access. It’s just a 12 mile journey from the mainline railway stations at Northampton and Rugby, which are both around an hour’s journey from London Euston.
