Holiday Inn Bristol Filton Set Goal to Become a Hub for Meetings and Events in the South West
2nd February 2026 – With major regeneration and infrastructure investment taking place on the doorstep of Holiday Inn Bristol Filton – the hotel aims to become a leading hub for meetings, events and hybrid working across the South West.
Following its multi-million-pound refurbishment, which completed at the end of last summer, the hotel now boasts an array of indoor and outdoor versatile spaces – perfect for those who are looking to create moments that matter.
Conveniently located just off the M4 and M5 and near to Bristol Parkway station, the hotel’s newly refurbished Academy Conference Centre offers modern comforts, excellent accessibility alongside and provides a selection of flexible event spaces to suit a wide range of corporate and planner briefs.
From awards ceremonies and conferences to team building celebrations and staff training, the Academy is equipped to deliver memorable events on any scale. It features 12 adaptable meeting rooms, with an impressive conferencing suite able to accommodate up to 220 delegates, a private reception, stylish breakout spaces with comfortable seating, and refreshment stations throughout.
Whether it’s helping to mark a big company moment, or a little team win, every business group who makes a booking will have a dedicated account manager to support every step of the journey and can assist with packages that include dining, drinks, and accommodation.
Unique to this hotel is its extensive 16 acres of landscaped grounds (complete with fishing lake) – an ideal space for hosting wellness classes, segway tours, archery, riffle shooting, sports days and summer barbeques and other team building activities.
The hotel embraces several best practices which include – a plan underway to offer a more sustainable meeting experience, with all collateral and communications digital-only, plastic free water service, reduced heating and lighting during low or no occupancy and a robust food waste action plan.
Plus, in response to the demand for more variety and nutritionally balanced meals – they have introduced new healthy menus prepared in-house to encourage focus and wellbeing.
General Manager, Margaret Coffey hopes these practices and the hotel’s upgraded facilities will help attract more local businesses, hybrid workers, event agents and planners.
She says, “Our goal is to be recognized as one of the city’s leading destination hotels for meetings and events – a place where teams and individuals feel inspired and connected to Bristol’s thriving business community. We also want to ensure locals know they can book meeting rooms which are ideal for coworking teams or companies working hybrid.
We already enjoy an excellent reputation with local institutions, charities, social groups and sports teams, and now we want to encourage more companies to discover our incredible spaces and challenge our fantastic team to create truly memorable experiences.”
Delegates will benefit from world class , naturally lit and generous meeting spaces with large TVs, and healthy catering options including, fruit infused-water Hydration Stations, homemade soups, salads and smoothies, which are served alongside more traditional sweet treats.
Coffey adds: “Feedback on our redesigned lobby, public spaces and bedrooms has been fantastic. Now, we want companies and business owners to know that we offer exceptional value, outstanding service and a truly unique product across M&E that can support many business objectives and team wellbeing.”
Outside of the meeting spaces, corporate guests will enjoy the hotel’s contemporary Open Lobby, complete with relaxed seating, locally inspired artwork and full-service bar and restaurant serving Starbucks – ideal for informal catch ups over laptops or working breakfasts.
