An exceptional venue

Accredited

Located in the heart of cosmopolitan Guildford, this modern 4-star hotel, with first-class facilities, is a specialist in corporate meetings and events, suitable for almost any conference, meeting or event up to 250 attendees.

The hotel has 8 fully-equipped meeting and events rooms, totalling over 400 square meters of meeting space and flexible configurations. Prelude, our largest event room, offers a capacity of up to 250, and comes with its own dedicated entrance and private bar.

But it’s also about the little extras. The meetings rooms surround a partially covered, courtyard terrace, ideal for al fresco drinks, receptions or dinners. There’s free high-speed WiFi throughout.

For exceptional eating and drinking during your event, our chefs have prepared a selection of appetising menus - we call it ‘brain food’ - anything from tea & cakes to set menus and platter-style, banquet feasts. To take the stress out of organisation, and to ensure your event will run smoothly, we’ll provide you with the services of a professional and dedicated event coordination team.

When the hard work is done, the hotel has two outstanding dining options: 'The Jetty', a seafood bar & grill, serving simple, fresh seafood alongside thick-cut steaks, or HarBAR, serving lighter bites and sharing plates all day. For a celebratory drink or few, the lively Long Bar offers a large selection of wines, an extensive gin list, as well as our signature cocktails. There are live DJs and late night dancing Friday and Saturday. Also see our staff’s recommendations of the best activities, attractions & events in Guildford, and the wider Surrey and Hampshire area, here.

For businesses with regular travel requirements into Guildford and the surrounding areas, we are able to offer preferential accommodation rates. Setting up a corporate rate with us is easy, for an initial consultation simply contact our Director of Sales.

Event food & drink

Food for thought

Here at Harbour Hotels, we understand that exceptional food & drink can enliven even the most arduous meeting or event; indeed, good ‘brain food’, as we call it, can boost your meeting’s productivity, and do wonders for your attendees’ event experience (and return rate).

Our passionate chefs have created a number of different menu options for you to select from. You may create your own bespoke set menu, opt for one of our fixed-priced, set menus, or even choose our ever-popular ‘Bring me Food’ menu, with dishes delivered platter-style for communal feasting.
