Elite Athlete Centre and Hotel
The Elite Athlete Centre and Hotel is the newest venue to enter the group, it opened in November 2018 and is a venue like no other, it is a venue focused on well-being and providing an elite environment for delegates and guests to pursue excellence. We have collaborated with Sport England, the English Institute of Sport and UK Sport to create the catering options and functionality concept of the building. It is fully accessible providing one of the only venues in the UK that paralympic sports groups can base themselves for camps whilst using the award winning sports facilities on the campus itself. It has 44 bedrooms that can all be set as twins if required, 20 of these are altitude bedrooms, we can adjust the climatic conditions of the bedroom to replicate up to 5000 metres above sea level, the same as Everest base camp, the only hotel in the UK that can do this. There are 3 meeting space options, 2 are seminar rooms that interconnect, together they can do 36 theatre style, separately they can do 10 boardroom in each or 16 theatre style. We also have the athletes lounge which is an informal meeting space with modular furniture that can be moved around which overlooks the athletics stadium. It has free car parking and free 1gbps wifi available. It is within walking distance of the other sister venues if additional meeting space or accommodation is required.
