Bishops Gate Hotel is perfectly positioned for meetings and events ranging from a discreet business lunch to a private conference, product launch and exhibition.

The building was originally home to The Northern Counties Club, a private members club where many civic leaders, intellects and business leaders such as Sir Winston Churchill, W.B. Yeats, William Carson, amongst many others,  met to discuss plans and ideas.

The Northern Counties Club purchased the building with the intention of creating a space for their members to "Meet, Eat & Lay their Heads". The current day reincarnation of the building continues this celebrated legacy as a place for great minds to discuss great ideas.

With local rail and bus links close by and only 9 miles from the City of Derry airport, Bishop’s Gate Hotel is the ideal, central base for delegates to make the most of their time in the city with many of the city’s historic sites all within easy walking distance.

The Northern Counties Ballroom, Hervey Library, 7 London Street and Spire Bar all offer event organisers flexible layout options.

Whether your delegates are gathering for coffee at the start of the day, having a light lunch or sipping on a cocktail as they relax and unwind, The Wig and Gown Champagne Bar and Restaurant provide the perfect backdrop.
