About the Ricoh Arena



The 71 Rooms & Silk Suites boutique hotel is situated at the heart of the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.

Luxury mini-suites, junior suites and pitch-view rooms have proved a huge success with hotel guests along with the new-look Singers Bar & Bistro.

More than two million business and leisure guests have visited the £113 million Ricoh Arena since it opened in 2005.

The multi-purpose venue situated in the heart of England has raised the barometers of entertainment, conferencing and hotel accommodation in the Midlands.

One of its unique factors is its versatility because the Ricoh can host a wide range of events for ten to 40,000 people.

Canadian rocker Bryan Adams and Midlands soul diva Beverley Knight have wowed the crowds in the sound-proof Jaguar Exhibition Hall which is also an extremely popular venue for trade exhibitions.

The 6,000 sqm Jaguar Exhibition Hall can be split into 4,000sqm and 2,000sqm and has catering facilities within the huge building.

The 1,295 sqm E.ON Lounge can host banquets for up to 1,000 guests and is the only column-free space of this size in the region.

Event organisers can also hire the 1,000 sqm Yorkshire Bank Lounge which has the benefit of having three break-out areas.

There are over 100 pieces of equipment in the state-of-the-art gym at the Arena Health & Fitness Club.

Club members can also take advantage of a variety of exercise classes, a sauna and steam room.

The £36 million Isle Casino includes a sports bar and entertainment.

The Community Space is available for community groups, city-wide groups and other organisations looking to hire a room for up to 150 guests theatre-style who are hosting a regional conference, presentation, theatre performance, meeting or workshop.

The Ricoh, which is the home of Championship Coventry City, has also hosted Bon Jovi and Red Hot Chili Pepper concerts in the stadium bowl which attracted about 80,000 people.

The Ricoh will also be holding Circus Circus 2008 which will provide the biggest and best festive parties in the city for work colleagues, families and friends. Circus Circus 2008 will feature a three course meal, fairground rides, a live band, amusement stalls, disco and entertainment.
