Many hotels offer conference and banqueting facilities for clients wishing to host various events, from wedding receptions and parties to business lunches, talks and seminars.
Chairs of course, form an essential part of any hotel’s conference and banqueting suite. If you are buying furniture for a hotel, you may want to choose a different set of chairs for banqueting and leisure guests, then a separate set for corporate or business guests. It may however, be more practical (and affordable) to invest in one set which will work well for both. Either way, you’ll need to invest in durable pieces that will withstand heavy use. Good quality, solid materials and high-quality fabrics are essential when selecting conference and banqueting chairs.
Your conference and banqueting space should reflect the style of your hotel, so look for chairs that fit within the overall look and feel. Whether you go for something classic or more modern, make sure all the pieces match or complement each other so that everything works together. Swapping pieces of furniture in and out will help when adapting your space for different uses.
Choosing conference and banqueting chairs
Conference and banqueting chairs come in many different shapes, sizes and styles. From upholstered chairs with armrests, simple stacking chairs, or banqueting chairs in an antique style, there’s certainly a lot of choice. Take a look at some of these popular styles of chairs, and if you would like to talk to one of the team here at Bourne Furniture, we would be happy to discuss your requirements and help you find the perfect conference and banqueting chairs.
Stacking Chairs
A classic choice for conference and banqueting, stacking chairs are ideal if you need to store your chairs when not in use. Ideal for a multi-use venue or for changing over your chairs, depending on the function.

Swivel Chairs
Swivel conference chairs are a popular choice for hotels that host high-end events for business guests. Swivel chairs can offer attendees a little more luxury with their adjustable height and comfortable designs. Swivel chairs can be upholstered in leather or fabric and often come on wheels for easy manoeuvrability.

Armchairs
Using armchair style conference and banqueting chairs will create a luxury feel for your venue. Some styles of armchairs may not be a practical option if you need to swap furniture in and out of the space on a regular basis, but if you have the right space, then armchairs can make a comfy and stylish choice.
