The English city of Coventry is well catered for by a host of modern hotels offering friendly and efficient service. Those travelling to the city on business will find all they require in the smaller traditional hotels as well as the larger more modern chain hotels. Leisure visitors will find that many accommodation options in Coventry are ideally located near the centre of the city with a good range of star rating options on offer. Smaller Coventry hotels offer some good local knowledge, which can be great for uncovering the hidden gems in the city, whether for dining, shopping or clubbing.
The modern, vibrant, dynamic and diverse cultural and architectural landscape of the City of Coventry belies is historical status as one of the world's greatest mediaeval cities. Older than its Midland neighbours of Birmingham and Leicester, the change in the cityscape compared to the others has been by default rather than design after sustaining significant war time damage. The result however is one which has had a positive effect on the progressive cultural makeup of the city in modern times and the Coventry hotels reflect this through their myriad of different sizes, styles and hospitality provision for leisure and business visitors to the city.
The same spirit of innovation and industry which created mediaeval riches persists today in the modern technologies and research for which the city is highly regarded. The key to this enduring success is location, one for which the city can claim, more than any other to be right in the middle of the country. Further from the coast than anywhere else, the city may not be convenient for trips to the seaside but it is convenient for pretty much everywhere else and connected by all the major road networks, the city is a prime spot for business meetings and conferences. The state of the art facilities within Coventry hotels certainly helps too.
Business hotels may have a range of different meeting spaces, sometimes bookable by the hour for board meetings or by the day or half day for full scale events. There will be the necessary support in terms of technology and catering and the hotel may have additional features specifically designed for the corporate traveller, such as access to office and computer equipment and guest rooms with Wi-Fi, work desks and flat screen television with news and business channels.
While business is certainly important to the city, there is no shortage of leisure options. A great music city, there are many venues for live music performances and a great number of good pubs, clubs and other nightlife options. A renowned multicultural city with a great blend of many colourful cultural contributions, expect to see some great restaurants and shops reflecting international flavours and goods.
The M6 motorway forms the northern edge of the city and with all other sides protected by green belt, the city has a real self contained feel about it ,with everything in sight and within easy reach. Wherever Coventry hotels are based they are close to all the most popular visitor attractions. Furthermore, with the great road and rail transport options available the city makes the ideal base for exploring other parts of the Midlands and beyond.
