About this space

The Chichester Suite is a Banqueting Hall in the New Chichester Hotel defined by its exposed black timber‑beam interior.

Design: The suite has wood‑effect flooring, modest-height ceilings and chandelier lighting arranged around round tables and gold-coloured chairs, creating a formal banquet layout.

Features: The Chichester Suite provides Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and natural light. The room includes a PA system and allows external DJs and guest music subject to the venue's noise restrictions. The Chichester Suite also provides a central cleared area suitable for dancing and a step‑free guest entrance; accessible toilets are available.

Ideal for: Small to medium-sized groups seeking a formal seated banquet that can convert into a social reception with space to dance.
