About this space

The M8 Meeting Room is a flexible meeting space at Novotel Reading Centre, designed to accommodate up to 14 delegates in a theatre-style layout. The room is well suited to presentations, briefings and small group meetings.

Design: The room features a neutral, functional finish with muted loop-pile carpet, pale wood panelling and a suspended acoustic ceiling. Even and practical lighting is provided by recessed downlights, while full-height curtains sit in front of the glazing, creating a comfortable and focused environment for meetings and presentations.
