Meeting RoomContinuing the extensive nature of the rest of the hotel, the Metropole’s meeting and event facilities are spacious and many in number. There are 40 facilities in total, several of which can be split into smaller spaces. The largest of the rooms is the Monarch Suite which is able to accommodate groups of up to 1,500 for a reception setting and 1,600 for theatre. There are, of course, other facilities which are smaller and so all sorts of activities can be held here.

Conveniently, wireless internet is available in this part of the hotel and the business centre features plenty of administrative and secretarial support services. The business centre is open from 7.30am until 6pm each day of the week.
