Business Engage Profiles Ramada Coventry celebrate 20th anniversary with £1.4 million project upgrade

A Coventry hotel which is celebrating its 20th anniversary has announced the completion of a £1.4 million project to upgrade its air conditioning systems.

Ramada Coventry has completed a sixmonth refurbishment of the air conditioning in all of its 166 bedrooms, which includes 44 suites.

The announcement comes as the hotel celebrates its 20th anniversary after opening on August 29, 2005.

It will be marking the milestone by hosting a celebratory lunch in its Queen’s Road Restaurant, which has just launched its new menu, and collating memories from its many long-standing staff members from across the hotel’s two decades.

The hotel, which has more than 70 members of staff, boasts 92 standard bedrooms, 30 superior bedrooms and eight accessible bedrooms, as well as 44 one-bedroom apartment suites which benefit from a workspace, dining, lounge and kitchenette and are suitable for extended stays.

A total of 200 new mattresses have been recently added for the comfort of its guests.

Queen’s Road Restaurant, which has a five-star food hygiene rating, is open to both residents and non-residents of the hotel and serves up a mix of traditional favourites for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant can also be booked for private functions.

Ramada Coventry also boasts a dedicated meetings floor featuring five meeting rooms and an executive lounge which can be used as a networking or breakout space including coffee machines and refreshments.

All of the rooms feature an LCD screen, free WiFi, air conditioning, a naturally-lit ambience and have the flexibility to cater for a variety of meetings and events in a theatre, classroom, boardroom or u-shape configuration.

The hotel includes a fitness room and also has a partnership with The Wave enabling guests to enjoy discounted entry at the venue.

The adjoining car-park is discounted for overnight guests and free for conference delegates and diners at the restaurant.

Ramada is part of the Wyndham brand, and its Wyndham Green programme helps its hotels reduce their environmental footprints and operate more efficiently through eco-friendly initiatives.

Through this, Ramada Coventry is focusing on its green practices and environmental credentials, with future plans including decreasing its carbon footprint even further by installing solar panels and EV chargers.

Jan Gelbert, Director of Sales at Ramada Coventry, said: “It’s fantastic to be celebrating our 20th anniversary having provided exceptional service for both business and leisure guests for two decades.

“This year we have made a significant investment in upgrading the air conditioning in our bedrooms to ensure we can continue providing state-of-the-art facilities to our guests.

“We are incredibly thankful to our wonderful team, some of whom have been with us from the day we opened our doors, sharing warm smiles, crafting unforgettable experiences and creating enduring relationships with our valued guests.

“We’re a hotel very much at the heart of our community, and we pride ourselves on giving back where we can. Recently we supplied a free meeting space to the charity CRASAC (Coventry Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre) for its conference.

“We also work closely with local businesses, schools, universities and various government departments, and have hosted a number of high-profile guests over the years including elite athletes.

“To mark our anniversary, we’ll be looking to collate memories and old photos from across the years and put together a list of significant people who have stayed at the hotel, as well as hold a celebratory lunch in our restaurant.

“We’re excited for the remainer of 2025, and will shortly be releasing details of our Christmas parties.”
