Leonardo Hotel Milton Keynes seats 400 theatre style in its Midsummer Hall and has 279 bedrooms upstairs, on Midsummer Boulevard, a short walk from Milton Keynes Central station.

Why delegates find it easy

The hotel lists 12 meeting rooms, and its capacity chart covers the Midsummer Hall plus suites numbered 101 to 113, so you can run a plenary, breakouts and a dinner on one site and sleep delegates in the same building. Every meeting room comes with wi-fi and wired internet, an LCD projector and screen, adjustable air conditioning, blackout, modular furniture, flipcharts and a stationery kit, with water, sweets and fruit set out. A large first-floor lobby gives you space for breakouts, registration or networking between sessions. The day delegate package covers room hire from 9am to 5pm, AV and stationery, unlimited tea and coffee, and a hot or cold lunch served in the restaurant or a breakout area, with a conference executive assigned to your event. The bar, restaurant and room service cover delegates who stay over, and a virtual tour on the hotel’s site lets you walk the rooms before a site visit.

The Midsummer Hall and the suites

The Midsummer Hall measures 26 m by 17 m with a 4.3 m ceiling according to the meetings page. The hotel’s chart gives it 400 theatre style, 240 classroom, 320 banquet, 300 for a dinner dance and 340 for a buffet, with 100 for a boardroom or U-shape. When you need a second room of size, Suites 112 and 113 open into a space for 200 theatre style or 200 banquet, and Suites 110, 111 and 112 combine for the same numbers. Suites 110 and 111 together take 120 theatre style. The smaller suites seat 10 to 60 theatre style, and all but Suite 110 have daylight, which matters on a long training day.

Getting there and parking

The hotel sits on Midsummer Boulevard across from the main bus line, with The Centre:MK a few minutes’ walk away. Its own pages give a five-minute walk from the station on the meetings page and roughly 10 minutes in the FAQ, so allow the longer time in joining instructions. There is no on-site parking: public parking sits opposite the hotel on Midsummer Boulevard, about 50 metres away, and central Milton Keynes has over 20,000 spaces, with charges from 7am to 6pm and long-stay blue bays at £10 a day. Road links run to the M1, and London Luton Airport is 28 miles away, with no hotel shuttle.
