A new look for the
Holiday Inn
Milton Keynes Central
A major refurbishment of the lobby
and public areas of the Holiday Inn

introduction of Marco’s New York Italian
restaurant, providing ‘a welcoming space
to eat, drink, work, relax or socialise”.
The purpose-built hotel, located near the
Hub leisure quarter, has 166 bedrooms,
9 meeting spaces and a leisure club
that boasts an indoor pool and a fully
equipped fitness centre. The Bar and
Lounge provide a relaxed and informal
atmosphere for business and social
events, and the informal terrace provides
a space for smaller parties.
The hotel’s Academy conference facilities
comprise nine flexible spaces that cater
for up to 100 people and AV equipment
as well as free WiFi. Catering can be

shopping district, the Holiday Inn is a
