Best Western The Grand Hotel

The Grand Hotel Hartlepool is a historic hotel and multi-purpose events venue situated on Swainson Street in the centre of Hartlepool. Originally built as a British Railway Hotel, the property has retained its distinctive historic character while undergoing a £1.3 million refurbishment to introduce updated accommodation and modern hospitality facilities. The hotel is close to Hartlepool's railway station, shopping centre, marina and major attractions, giving it a convenient central location for both local and visiting event guests. The venue caters for both corporate and social events. Its current corporate-events offering includes conferences, seminars, award ceremonies, gala dinners, product launches, workshops, business meetings, private dinners and team-building events. The hotel also has facilities for weddings and other celebrations. The Grand Ballroom is the principal large-event space and can accommodate up to 220 guests for banqueting and 148 delegates for conferences and seminars. The smaller Piper Suite accommodates up to 50 guests and is designed for smaller meetings, workshops and private functions. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, on-site parking, catering, a restaurant, hotel bar, accommodation, audiovisual equipment and an experienced events team. The hotel therefore works particularly well for organisers who need both event space and overnight accommodation at one location.
