Although situated in the heart of Northampton, the Mercure
also benefi ts from an area of green space on its doorstep. Guests can enjoy a stroll around St Katherine’s Gardens on their way into town and enjoy the reimagined park, which has recently benefi ted from Lottery funding secured by Northampton BID, enabling the installation of a Royal British Legion memorial garden and planters created by students from Northampton College. T e hotel’s modern meeting rooms are equipped with the latest
technology to ensure organisers and delegates get the most from their experience, from high-speed wifi and top-of-the-range audio-visual equipment to interactive screens and video conferencing capabilities. An on-site technical support team is always available to assist
with set-up and troubleshooting, and where further support is required, the Events Team will help organisers with planning the event from start to fi nish. T is service is tailored to individual needs, from size and confi guration of the rooms to catering and accommodation. For any meeting or event, the expert catering team will provide
options from a working lunch, hot or cold buff et or a formal dinner, with a variety of menus to suit all preferences, and to accommodate any specifi c dietary requirements. And, of course, the hotel’s restau- rant and bar are available to all guests after ‘offi ce hours’. Joanna Lukasik, the hotel’s new Sales Manager who joined in
February this year from the Ibis in Northampton, said: “T e hotel has been through some signifi cant upgrades in the past couple of years to cement its position as one of the leading venues in the town centre for large events. “As a conference centre we can provide space for up to 600
people, theatre-style but at the same time we are adaptable enough to accommodate small meeting space for just a few delegates, training rooms and break-out areas, or formal dinners for awards nights and charity events. “We are keen to champion local businesses – we try to use local
suppliers wherever possible, and to recommend local amenities and attractions – and we want the hotel to be at the heart of the local business community, so are happy to discuss any requirements with companies looking for a venue for corporate events.
“From the initial inquiry to the day of the event, our experienced
coordinators will work closely with clients to ensure everything is perfectly tailored to their needs. We pride ourselves on attention to detail and exceptional service, so they can focus on the business at hand while we handle the logistics. “We also have a strong commitment to sustainability through
active community involvement and adherence to Accor’s global environmental goals. Guests can expect a hotel experience that values both local community engagement and broader environ- mental responsibility.” One regular client at the Mercure Hotel Northampton is Orange
Juice Communications, based in Market Harborough. Orange Juice Communications’ Director Daniel Owens said: “When we were looking for a venue for a team training day, the Mercure fi tted the bill perfectly. T e facilities were spot on, and the staff looked after us superbly. T e free parking was a real bonus and the external guests we welcomed were impressed with the way everything worked so seamlessly. It’s a venue we’d certainly look to use again in the future.” Regular clients can take advantage of the hotel’s Accor Loyalty
Scheme, which off ers exclusive savings on bookings in more than 3,000 hotels, rewarding points for stays and visits to the group’s restaurants and bars. Points can then be exchanged for stays and experiences. T ere are a range of status levels depending on usage and full details can be found on the Accor website.
