Jurys Inn Milton Keynes

The Jurys Inn Milton Keynes is one of the largest hotels in the centre of Milton Keynes and has a lot to offer for conference organisers. When you walk into the lobby, first impressions are that it is a very stylish hotel, having benefitted from a £2.5m refurbishment of all the public areas and bedrooms.

All around the reception desk there are plenty of places to relax, meet people, do some work etc. They even have a work station for 6 people, complete with plug sockets and USB ports for you to base yourself and catch up on your emails etc. We loved this.

The hotel bar and restaurant are all just off the lobby and very easy to locate. For your groups, a registration desk can be set up in this area although most tend to use the first floor conference lobby, which is where the meeting and conference spaces are all conveniently located.

Access for delegates is really easy, with the hotel being less than a 10 minute walk to Milton Keynes railway station and the numerous large car parks surrounding the hotel.

Parking: Although there isn’t a dedicated car park at the hotel, there are numerous car parks surrounding the hotel less than a minute’s walk away. There is no charge to park in these car parks during the hours of 6pm to 7am, and then after 7am it costs 50p per hour, which is amazing value for city centre parking.

Coach / Bus Pick-up Location at hotel: Although there is space for a coach to pull up outside the hotel entrance, most tend to pull up on the bus lane of the road outside the hotel – from there it takes 10 seconds to get into the hotel.

RESTAURANTS & BARS
The bar is located on the ground floor and is a really nice place with mixed seating, tall tables & stools as well as sofas and tables of different sizes. In here you can get all the usual alcoholic drinks as well as Costa coffee and an extensive choice of snacks and meals.

The restaurant can cater for 120 covers and is at the rear of the hotel but accessible directly from the reception area as well as the through The Bar. This is a really nice place for your groups to take lunch or dinner. Combinations of small and larger tables make it a really atmospheric place to eat. Breakfast is also taken here every day.

MEETING / CONFERENCE ROOMS

Once on the first floor, it benefits from having a large conference lobby which is a fantastic place for your groups to take coffee breaks, small finger buffets and pre-dinner drinks. It is also regularly used for exhibition stands / table top exhibitions too.

Directly from the conference lobby, with its natural light, is the excellent 400 person Midsummer Hall as well as the other 12 meeting rooms which all go in a loop around it, making it an ideal venue for a medium sized residential conference with breakout sessions.
