When your team wants to let their hair down at an end-of-year celebration, Sunnymead Hotel is just the place.<\/p>\n

Like something out of Barbie, this Palm Springs-esque pool area has it all. Mustard yellow umbrellas line the poolside lounges around a solar-heated magnesium pool.<\/p>\n

Sunnymead was made for entertaining, with “Sunnies” Pool Bar ready to serve you poolside cocktails. That sounds like the setting for a pretty epic Christmas party!<\/p>\n

Sunnymead’s pool area connects to a sunken lounge and firepit, where you can add-on your very own private chef to make your group’s dinner in their wood-fire pizza oven.<\/p>\n

The outdoor pool area caters for up to 70 guests. But there’s also an indoor space for more intimate functions or when the weather isn’t so sunny.<\/p>\n

Think cosy swivel chairs, banquet seating and a fully stocked bar for more sunny-themed cocktails, or spicy margs!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Catering is taken care of, too – their onsite fusion restaurant can prepare share platters and tasty bites such as pani puri or baos, or something more substantial from their main menu.<\/p>\n

If an afternoon by the pool bar isn’t quite enough, the property offers buy-out of their 20 retro-themed suites.<\/p>\n

Sunnymead Hotel also boasts a colourful day spa, Indie Spa, with shared spaces perfect for groups including a Turkish-style steam room and light-filled bathhouse.<\/p>\n

For eco-minded businesses, you’ll be making a good choice knowing Sunnymead Hotel takes every care to reduce their impact which even extends to their event planning.<\/p>\n

Making sustainability look stylish, drinks at the pool bar are served in reusable pool-safe glassware in line with the property’s plastic-free commitment.<\/p>\n
