About James Watt

24 U-Shaped
The James Watt room combines practicality with comfort, making it one of our most popular choices for mid-sized gatherings. With space for up to 50 delegates in theatre style, we often see companies using this room for quarterly updates, training workshops and team presentations. The versatility really shows when we reconfigure it from classroom rows in the morning to a U-shaped discussion format after lunch, accommodating 24 participants who need to see each other clearly. Our technical setup includes everything you'd expect: a projector that connects easily to laptops, a flatscreen TV for backup displays, plus whiteboards and flipcharts for those spontaneous brainstorming moments. The PA system with speakers means presenters at the front can be heard clearly at the back, while our reliable high-speed Wi-Fi handles multiple devices without dropping connections. Natural light streams through the windows, though we can adjust the blinds when you need the room darker for presentations. The red and black chairs add character to the neutral walls, and pendant lights provide warm illumination that keeps people alert without being harsh. Air conditioning maintains a comfortable temperature whether you have 10 or 50 people generating heat and ideas. We arrange the furniture based on your requirements before you arrive, from boardroom style for 24 decision-makers to banquet rounds when you're combining meetings with working lunches for up to 40 guests. Being just minutes from New Street Station makes logistics simple for delegates traveling from Manchester, London or Scotland. Our venue sits in the Arcadian Centre, so grabbing coffee before your 9am start or finding somewhere for dinner afterwards requires minimal effort. The 24-hour bar downstairs often hosts those continued conversations that weren't quite finished when the meeting ended, while our 159 bedrooms upstairs remove any stress about accommodation for multi-day events.
