Host your gathering in a calm, well-presented setting that’s easy to tailor. Sleeping Bear Hotels offers two flexible rooms in central Dorchester with natural light, full air-conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, and modern AV (projector/screen and flip chart available). From talks and workshops to private dinners and small celebrations, we’ll set the room to your plan and keep the day running smoothly.
We’re right in the heart of Dorchester, close to cafés, museums and Brewery Square, with straightforward links by rail and road. Guests can stay onsite in our Superior, Standard or Cabin Rooms (selected dog-friendly rooms available), and we can bundle room allocations with your event so everything is in one place. Self check-in keeps arrivals simple for late or staggered schedules.


Choose the space that fits your numbers and format:
Layouts are fully customisable, and our team will greet speakers, direct guests and help with last-minute adjustments so your event feels unhurried.
Keep costs clear and simple. For business events, our Day Delegate Rate (£35pp) includes room hire, projector & screen, flip chart, two refreshment breaks, sandwich lunch, table water, pencils & paper. Or build an à-la-carte package to suit your agenda (e.g., Full-day room hire £150 / Half-day £75; Tea & coffee £3.50pp; Sandwich lunch £15.50pp; Flip chart £15/day). For social events, we’ll provide a straightforward, itemised quote.


Share your date, timings, guest numbers and preferred layout — we’ll confirm availability and hold the room while we finalise details.

Onsite parking is limited and pre-booked via JustPark (£15/day; arrive from 2pm, depart by 1pm); the nearest public option is Top O’ Town (about 2 minutes’ walk; typically £6/24 hours).
