Great Fosters will be launching an exclusive new meeting facility within the grounds of the 16th Century hotel in September. The Coach House is being re-developed as part of a £3 million investment of the Surrey hotels’ business facilities.

Work has already begun on the Grade II listed former coach house and stables, which will provide business visitors with a private and contemporary first class ‘airport lounge’ style facility. The Coach House will consist of three board room style meeting rooms, a stylish breakout area and 22 bespoke bedrooms complete with plasma screens and iPod docking stations; creating a self contained and exclusive business product.

“Great Fosters has always been a preferred host for significant international meetings that require privacy and quiet,” comments Richard Young, Director and General Manager of Great Fosters. “The Coach House provides a secure environment that combines stylish accommodation within a historical setting. We’ve given it an ‘airport lounge’ feel, sympathetic to international travellers flying in and out of the meeting.”
