Ivey Spencer Leadership Centre has a 30-year history of providing business professionals an extraordinary and intimate setting in which to connect and be inspired. The Spencer, housed in a magnificent Georgian manor on 30 acres of lush parkland and gardens adjacent to the renowned Ivey Business School, is Southwestern Ontario’s only IACC-certified conference center.
Don’t let the intimate setting fool you. Spencer has 125 guest suites, 14,000 sq. ft. of event space - including three amphitheatres - and cutting-edge production capabilities, to encourage big ideas. Cycling and hiking trails, a fitness centre, game room, high-ropes team-building course, and five restaurants provide plenty of post-meeting gathering opportunities, because we know ideas happen everywhere. Planning a wedding? For more than fifteen years, London brides have said “I Do” at Spencer because we deliver it all: privacy, picturesque grounds, and personalized service, from details to décor to dining.
The unassuming rooms and suites feature classic furnishings and desks, as well as free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and iPod docks. Suites add separate living rooms.
Amenities include more than 9,000 sq ft of meeting space, private dining rooms and lounges (some with access to patio seating), an exercise room and saunas. There are also bike rentals, and basketball and sand volleyball courts. Parking and a shuttle to the university are complimentary.
Classically appointed and filled with light, all 125 of our guest rooms and suites are purposely situated away from public areas, to promote relaxation and total peace and quiet after a day of back-to-back meetings. Each room features our signature plush queen-size beds dressed in cozy linens, to ensure the most restful sleep you’ve ever had. Night owl? Free WiFi, an ergonomic desk, and flat-screen TV in each suite allow you to continue working, stay connected, and prep for the next day, from the comfort of your room.
