£4m transformation of Burleigh Court

Welcome Lounge

Our new Welcome Lounge will give our guests the entrance they deserve! With self-service check-in pods, guests can take the hassle out of arrival, or our Reception team will be on hand to welcome you with a smile. The impressive check-in island will house a jet engine developed by Loughborough University engineers to show off our proud connection to the university.

Fifty The Street

Our fabulous new 140-cover restaurant will be situated in one half of the current courtyard space and will "spill out" into a lovely indoor/outdoor experience. Why "Fifty The Street"? It will be located at the top of the corridor we call the street and will serve a 50% plant-based menu in line with our sustainability goals.

New conference space - 200 cap cabaret

This space is our old restaurant which is being completely refurbished into a brand new 200 cap cabaret space. Perfect for large plenaries, conference sessions or gala dinners, it will have multiple screens around the room ensuring delegates are always engaged and connected...

Business Lounge

New shared working space for more informal team huddles or one-on-one time.

The Snug

Brand new intimate space that's perfect for small breakout groups or workshops.

Thingumajig room

Brand new meeting space. Set up as boardroom, perfect for small meetings, strategy sessions etc. Fondly named after a valuable optical measuring device from the 1920s (on display in the room) impatiently named by a Loughborough Professor who, when asked by a young student about the name of the device, gave the sharp response "I don't know, call it the thingumajig and don't disturb me again". The optical square adopted this nickname with students ever since who dared not question it!
