The Coppid Beech in Bracknell takes conferences, training days, board meetings, product launches, parties and weddings for 3 to 300 delegates. The hotel combines four meeting rooms, a bar and a nightclub that can be hired for events, three places to eat, a health club and 205 bedrooms, in a building of alpine-style architecture in Berkshire.
Seminars and company events
Three packages structure business bookings. The day delegate rate covers the main meeting room, catering, a projector and screen, a flip chart, Wi-Fi and parking. The Innovation Hub package targets creative and collaborative sessions, with a smart TV, wireless and HDMI connection, dimmable ring lighting and a conference phone. The 24-hour package adds meals, an overnight stay and a full English breakfast. Parking is free for delegates on all three, with 250 spaces on site. For launches and evening events, the Keller Bar and Restaurant and the Après nightclub can be adapted to the brief.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel holds wedding receptions and celebrations in licensed function rooms for 4 to 220 guests, with packages built around the size and style of the day. The 205 bedrooms let a large wedding party stay on site. Party packages and a weekend entertainment program, with live tribute bands and DJs, cover birthdays and other celebrations.
Rooms and capacities
The Sequoia Suite is the largest room, at 294 square meters, for up to 300 delegates. It has natural daylight, its own bar and an outdoor terrace. The Pines Suite measures 164 square meters and takes up to 120 guests; it can be split into six equal rooms of 10 in boardroom style, and it also opens onto a terrace. The V2 Innovation Suite, at 36 square meters for up to 18, and the Boardroom, at 30 square meters for up to 12, are set up for hybrid meetings with participants in the room and online.
Accommodation
There are 205 bedrooms, including suites. Guests can use the Peak Fitness health club, with a gym, a swimming pool, a sauna and a steam room, and book massages and skin care treatments. A business lounge is available for guests who need to work between sessions.
Catering
Rowans Restaurant overlooks the Aspen Terrace and serves contemporary dishes. The Keller Bar and Restaurant offers a more informal setting, and the Aspen Lounge serves cocktails, food and afternoon tea. Private dining is offered for smaller groups, and room service is available for guests staying overnight.
History and setting
The hotel stands on John Nike Way in Bracknell, Royal Berkshire. The building is designed in an alpine style, and the terraces of the Sequoia and Pines suites give delegates outdoor space during breaks. The Keller bar and the Après nightclub give the hotel its own evening venues, so a conference dinner and a party can follow the working day without moving the group.
Getting there
The hotel is close to the M3 and M4 motorways and within reach of London, Windsor, Ascot, Henley, Marlow and Eton. The 250-space car park makes arrival by car simple for large groups.
