About venue
Located beside Sandy Park on the outskirts of Exeter, Courtyard by Marriott Exeter Sandy Park is a contemporary business hotel combining modern accommodation, stylish hospitality spaces and flexible meeting facilities within one of the city’s best-connected commercial locations. Part of the globally recognised Marriott brand, the hotel offers a polished and design-led environment suited to business stays, executive meetings, networking events and smaller corporate gatherings.
Featuring contemporary interiors, rooftop hospitality spaces and excellent access to the M5, Exeter Airport and Exeter city centre, the hotel appeals strongly to corporate travellers and organisations seeking a modern, accessible and professional environment for meetings and overnight stays.
Unlike the adjoining Sandy Park Conference Centre, the hotel itself focuses more on boutique corporate hospitality, smaller-scale meetings and residential business events rather than large exhibitions or arena-style conferences.
Event Spaces
Sandy Park Conference Centre
Integrated directly alongside the hotel, the Sandy Park Conference Centre provides one of the South West’s largest and most flexible event environments, supporting conferences, exhibitions, banqueting, networking receptions and large-scale corporate events. Flexible suites, breakout areas and hospitality lounges allow the venue to accommodate both intimate meetings and major delegate events.
Conference & Meeting Rooms
The hotel itself supports business meetings, workshops and smaller corporate gatherings through contemporary meeting spaces equipped with integrated AV, high-speed Wi-Fi and adaptable layouts. The venue is designed heavily around modern business travel and conference convenience.
Rooftop Bar & Hospitality Areas
One of the venue’s standout features is its rooftop hospitality offering and panoramic views across Exeter and the Exe Estuary. The rooftop bar and dining spaces create strong opportunities for networking receptions, VIP hospitality and post-event social gatherings.
Corporate & Sporting Hospitality
Positioned beside the home of Exeter Chiefs Rugby Club, the venue also supports sporting hospitality, sponsorship events and large-scale corporate entertainment alongside traditional conferences and meetings.
Accommodation
Courtyard by Marriott Exeter Sandy Park offers approximately 250 contemporary guestrooms and suites designed around both business and leisure travel. Rooms feature modern workspace layouts, air conditioning and contemporary interiors with many overlooking the stadium or estuary.
Dining & Facilities
