The Duke of Cornwall Hotel

About us

The Duke serves as an exceptional venue for big corporate events in the centre of Plymouth. Whether you’re staging a trade exhibition or a multi-day conference, our combination of superb spaces and first-class business support provides all the ingredients you need for a successful event.

We offer a broad array of conference rooms, allowing you to choose the one that’s just right for you. Our grand Ballroom can host up to 300 delegates. Or you can choose from our selection of alternative spaces for your business conference. Whichever space you hire, the breathtaking architecture and decor of this unique venue will bring a sense of character and luxury to the occasion.

As experienced business events experts, we do far more than lay on a beautiful setting. We also advise on the best layout format and provide the technical facilities your conference requires. Plus, we offer delicious catering options, alcoholic and soft drinks, and comfortable accommodation. Under one roof, the Duke has everything that’s needed to ensure your delegates enjoy a brilliant business conference in a central Plymouth location.

As a complete business events venue, the Duke does more than simply provide a space for meetings or exhibitions. We also bring a wealth of experience to help you plan and execute your event smoothly. That includes guiding you in identifying the best room for your needs. Plus, we can set up your space to order and make any specialist preparations you require. As well having function spaces for hire, you can also make use of the Duke’s smart but cosy Lounge Bar. This is the ideal spot for an informal or impromptu business catch-up with colleagues over a light lunch or a drink.

For conferences or meetings, our team of events professionals are on hand to ensure you and your delegates enjoy exceptional service. As leading hospitality providers in Plymouth, we offer high-quality catering, along with snacks, light bites, and alcoholic and soft drinks. We also, of course, provide the option of accommodation. The Duke’s 72 uniquely decorated bedrooms afford plenty of choice for those who wish to stay – with a discounted rate available for your delegates.

A successful business event also calls for the right technical arrangements to be in place. We provide modern facilities in all of our business spaces, with individualised set-up options available. Talk to our team about what you require and we’ll do our best to accommodate your requests.

At the Duke of Cornwall Hotel, we are recognised for the quality of our cuisine – and we provide a variety of catering options to enhance your business event. Our two AA-Rosette-awarded restaurant offers an exciting and delicious fine dining experience.
