Meeting Hotels In Cambridge Holiday Inn
There are a large number of hotels in Cambridge
, and many are used for business purposes. However, few offer the facilities that we at Holiday Inn Cambridge do. This may be because the city is still largely seen as an intellectual enclave. Cambridge University, which together with Oxford forms Oxbridge, is a premier seat of learning, with a long history of scientific discovery. Newtons physics, the Origin of Species, the discovery of DNA and, latterly, the birth of the Universe all had their origins here, and the Cambridge University Press is renowned for the quality of its publications.Not surprisingly, many of the events for which hotels in Cambridge are booked have an academic bent. The city attracts vast numbers of national and international delegates each year, who fly in for the numerous scientific conferences and conventions based around the university campus. People stay at hotels, and then travel to academic auditoriums and exhibition centres for the talks and meetings. The reason is usually that hotels in Cambridge lack the facilities to accommodate specialist groups. Hotels also tend to lack the space to host outdoor events something else that Cambridge is famous for.
Lately, the growth of retail, commerce and tourism in the city, plus the growing need for convenient locations that dont involve travelling between two destinations, has seen hotels diversifying into the meetings and conventions market. Generally this involves theatre, banqueting and tutorial-type rooms, plus business suites where people can access broadband via the hotel computers, or plug in their own laptop. Rooms are designed mainly around overnight stays and commercial travellers with the occasional wedding party who dont mind things bland.
However, we at Holiday Inn Cambridge have broken the mould with our purpose-built air-conditioned Academy. Located just off the J32 of the M11, in a quiet location on the A14, it is the premium choice for both business and leisure bookings, and is just 10 minutes from the city centre.
It is not often that business customers will plan a meeting, and then return to the same venue for their family celebrations. However, with us at Holiday Inn Cambridge thats just what people do, because our Academy meeting centre is equally equipped for both serious commerce and joyous celebration - we can even arrange civil weddings.
Unlike many meeting hotels in Cambridge, we offer peace and seclusion in a superb location, close to lakes and countryside. However, you dont have to go off-site to enjoy it, because we have a picturesque 15 acre events field which can be used for a variety of corporate and private functions. These include trade fairs, team-building exercises, charity fund-raising events, marquee weddings, funfair parties and much more.
Whatever youre planning, be it a trade conference or family wedding, you sleep a lot better knowing your guests dont have to drive home afterwards. With 161 large bedrooms (including 48 executive suites), leisure facilities that include a spa and pool, superb catering facilities and broadband access in all rooms, we at Holiday Inn Cambridge can promise you an uplifting experience whether youve booked for business or pleasure.
