Group Meetings & Events Manager
The Roseate Reading

Description

The Hotel is known for its spectacular attention to detail that ensures a bespoke, luxurious experience for its guests. Whether it is the 86,000 Italian-glass beads in the chandelier that hangs from the top of the building or the plush upholstery and wallpapers, the meticulous design sense is ubiquitous in maintaining an uplifted ambience. The Roseate Reading was originally Shire Hall for the Berkshire County Council. The building, along with its wide hallways, vaulted ceilings, cornice mouldings and the original lift shaft, have all been precisely restored to their original glory. To revive the old world charm of the Shire Hall, its council chamber, Eden along with its imposing fireplace and elaborate wood carvings on the doors and mantlepiece have all been restored to their past beauty. One of the top hotels in Reading, The Roseate Reading is a culmination of opulence and warmth.
