About this space

voco Hotel Reading is a hotel event space centred on a contemporary private dining area defined by a large curved banquette.

Design: The interior pairs neutral-painted walls with dark timber flooring and a low, shallow coved ceiling; soft lamp lighting and restrained decor keep the room understated and intimate.

Features: The venue provides air conditioning, hotel-grade Wi‑Fi and natural daylight. The space includes step-free guest access, wheelchair access and accessible toilets, and a cleared timber floor area suitable for standing or dancing.

Ideal for: Intimate private groups seeking a relaxed, social gathering that mixes seated dining and standing reception space with room for dancing.

What sets it apart: A dedicated in-room PA and a policy permitting external DJs allow fully amplified, guest-curated music during events.
