The Pinnacle is the jewel in the crown of Hope Street Xchange.

Meeting rooms
In addition to the main event spaces, a range of high specification smaller meeting rooms suitable for client or team meetings are also available to building residents free of charge (based on a reasonable use policy). This provides businesses with the ideal space to meet visitors, present to staff or hold interviews, all without incurring further cost.
These rooms can also be provided to external clients via our Venue Sunderland team.
