The Isambard Meeting Room is a new meeting and private party venue which has been created within the Royal Hotel Bath. The decor and furnishings have been professionally designed and there is a small private bar incorporated within the room.
Being located directly opposite the railway station with plenty of car parking nearby, The Isambard is a perfect meeting point and this delightful room is equally attractive for receptions, small lunch or dinner parties in Bath city centre.

Why Meet?
For quite some time now, we’ve all got used to meeting virtually over the various e-meeting platforms available to us. Clearly, during the global pandemic, this was necessary, and during that time we realised lots of benefits of meeting virtually.
However, with the world having returned to a new normal, it is important to remember that there are still some huge benefits to meeting in person. Here are a few:
- With face-to-face meetings, the days of reminding people to un-mute themselves are gone – technology issues with things such as webcams and microphones can massively disrupt meetings – so if it’s important maybe you could consider meeting in person?
- Similarly, with face-to-face meetings there are far fewer distractions and all present can properly focus on the matter at hand – how many of us have sat replying to emails and doing other work whilst on a virtual meeting?
- Finally, in-person meetings enable you to engage in meaningful small talk and start to really build relationships – these will help you not only when it comes to efficiency but when it comes to career progression, too
Why Bath?
There’s a lot you probably don’t know about Bath…
First and foremost, it is the largest city in Somerset and happens to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site – owing to its deep-rooted Roman history. And as if that’s not impressive enough, it has actually been voted the world’s favourite British spa destination by TripAdvisor.
How does this relate to a meeting room, you ask? Well, our point is, simply, that Bath is a lovely place to live, work and meet. There are a wide range of cafes, bars and restaurants and the deep history of the place will be sure to get your creative juices flowing.

You’ll still get all the essentials. Flipcharts, a screen, refreshments and Wi-Fi are all ready for you. But you’ll also enjoy surroundings that feel a little more special.
It’s a space where things get done, but never feel rushed. A space where you can bring people together, not just to work, but to connect. And that, we believe, is what makes the difference.
