There is also exclusive pitch side access out the Royal Box which is where trophies are presented on a cup final game and can be used in conjunction with the Atrium via the inter-connecting doors. The maximum capacity for the space is 300 theatre style.


A more intimate option for smaller numbers, the Pitch View has one of the best views of the Stadium Bowl and also has access out to the terraces which guests can enjoy during the event. A long room following the curve of the Stadium this space lends itself perfectly to dual configurations such a reception and dinner, or presentation and catering area all within one venue or simply a stunning reception space with spectacular views of the iconic stadium. It can facilitate up to 100 theatre style.


The Venue/Arc are two exciting split-level areas situated on either side of the stadium and curved with the building offering wide views across North London. They can offer the perfect support space to events in the larger venues with breakouts at either end of the long curved room, or as an extraordinary reception space for a networking event. It can fit 2 by 150 theatre style.  


The 161 corporate boxes can be used for smaller breakout meetings and board meetings with breath-taking views of the Stadium. There are three sizes available seating 8, 12 or 20 in a boardroom style or we can seat up to 30 theatre style in one of the 20 seater boxes. They also come equipped with their own private bathroom facilities and flat screen TV which can be used to connect equipment for presentations.

 

There are opportunities to impress guests further with pitch-side access, and private stadium tours where they see the royal box, changing rooms and even walk out of the players’ tunnel.

After a good chill out in the hotel we all got dressed up and went for dinner. Druids Glen has recently been awarded with double rosette in there restaurant and the food did not fail to impress, as we drank, ate and reflected on both the day and the night prior. After a satisfying meal we headed to the bar for a final drink while listening the live music and enjoying the last night of what had been an eventful and truly enjoyable weekend, made better by great company and outstanding hospitality from our hosts.

After a short respite we were on the move again, we were given our own individual golf carts and raced each other like kids to the next destination.

We arrived at Druids Glen after a short bus journey (under 1 hour). For such a short journey the change in scenery was amazing we were transported to a tranquil retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the Dublin City life. Upon entrance to Druid Glen we were greeted at the door with energising smoothie to wake us up after the nap that many had on the bus. We then had a brief tour of the hotel. The relaxing scenery was mirrored by the relaxing atmosphere of the hotel. All the rooms have large amounts of natural daylight pouring in and amazing views of the trees and golf course. We then went to see the old manor house that is now the golf club, where we viewed the space which would be great for an offsite dinner. We finished the tour having Guinness and oysters on the roof terrace enjoying the views.

The Teeling distillery is the only working whiskey distillery in Dublin. It also has a brilliant tour that is fully immersive and allows you to view all the stages of the whisky making process.  The tour finished with a whiskey tasting at the end that allows you to understand the difference between Irish whiskey and the Scottish Whisky. Combined with the viewing of the process it gives you a very good understanding of how these differences occur. The tasting room would also work perfect for a dinner in a unique venue and can be combined with the tasting tour for an added unique touch.

When we returned for a brief freshen up at the Croke Park Hotel  we could hear things livening up outside.  We then ventured back across the road to see the stadium in full swing. The group was given a private box to see an Ed Sheeran concert and the atmosphere was immense.

This is an incredibly impressive venue with a capacity of over 80,000 it is the 3rd largest stadium in Europe and the only one of the three not to show football or rugby to attract its crowds.  Croke Park is the home of Hurling and Gaelic football and they are very proud of the history.  We had the opportunity to practice our hurling skills and got an amazing tour of the venue including a “skywalk” on top of the stadium giving impressive views over the whole of Dublin.

Waking up on the Saturday not feeling 100% I was grateful for the well fitted room and after taking a long shower to wake myself up and enjoying a Full English breakfast.  I was ready for the action packed Saturday we had planned. We next headed over to the Teeling Distillery.


The Teeling Distillery


The Teeling distillery is the only working whiskey distillery in Dublin. It also has a brilliant tour that is fully immersive and allows you to view all the stages of the whisky making process.  The tour finished with a whiskey tasting at the end that allows you to understand the difference between Irish whiskey and the Scottish Whisky. Combined with the viewing of the process it gives you a very good understanding of how these differences occur. The tasting room would also work perfect for a dinner in a unique venue and can be combined with the tasting tour for an added unique touch.


Druids Glen


We arrived at Druids Glen after a short bus journey (under 1 hour). For such a short journey the change in scenery was amazing we were transported to a tranquil retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the Dublin City life. Upon entrance to Druid Glen we were greeted at the door with energising smoothie to wake us up after the nap that many had on the bus. We then had a brief tour of the hotel. The relaxing scenery was mirrored by the relaxing atmosphere of the hotel. All the rooms have large amounts of natural daylight pouring in and amazing views of the trees and golf course. We then went to see the old manor house that is now the golf club, where we viewed the space which would be great for an offsite dinner. We finished the tour having Guinness and oysters on the roof terrace enjoying the views.


After a short respite we were on the move again, we were given our own individual golf carts and raced each other like kids to the next destination. We arrived at the driving range and it was time to try are hand at a spot of golf.  After an hour of coaching, making leaps and bounds in our golfing expertise, we were all very tiered after a long day of activity’s and luckily for us it was time to head back to the hotel and have a rest and refresh before dinner (not after racing each other back in the golf carts of course).


After a good chill out in the hotel we all got dressed up and went for dinner. Druids Glen has recently been awarded with double rosette in there restaurant and the food did not fail to impress, as we drank, ate and reflected on both the day and the night prior. After a satisfying meal we headed to the bar for a final drink while listening the live music and enjoying the last night of what had been an eventful and truly enjoyable weekend, made better by great company and outstanding hospitality from our hosts.

This is an incredibly impressive venue with a capacity of over 80,000 it is the 3rd largest stadium in Europe and the only one of the three not to show football or rugby to attract its crowds.  Croke Park is the home of Hurling and Gaelic football and they are very proud of the history.  We had the opportunity to practice our hurling skills and got an amazing tour of the venue including a “skywalk” on top of the stadium giving impressive views over the whole of Dublin.


When we returned for a brief freshen up at the Croke Park Hotel  we could hear things livening up outside.  We then ventured back across the road to see the stadium in full swing. The group was given a private box to see an Ed Sheeran concert and the atmosphere was immense.

Site Visits To Hilton Canary Wharf And Hilton Tower Bridge


Situated close to the River Thames, and very close to London Bridge station, the Hilton London Tower Bridge has 245 bedrooms.  There are 12 flexible meeting rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors.  In addition there are two unusual areas which can be used exclusively for groups: the roof terrace with views of the Shard and there is a semi-private bar or dining area, the Snug, which is located off the main bar.  I was here in the early evening and both the hotel and the surrounding area were lively and Jamie’s Italian restaurant which is part of the hotel was busy with both residential guests and non-residents.  Jamie’s can also be booked for groups.

This hotel is just 5 minutes’ walk from Canary Wharf tube station (very quick on the Jubilee Line from mainline London stations) and has eight flexible meeting rooms on the 1st floor.  All the small meeting rooms have natural daylight and the largest room has its own foyer area with natural daylight although the room is in the centre of the building.   All the meeting rooms were refurbished in February 2015 and to encourage creativity there is a relaxed break out area with bean bags and seating pods.  The bedrooms in this hotel were impressively large and very comfortable.  I will remember the lunch for a very long time, as the beef casserole was outstanding.

I really enjoyed visiting these two hotels, which are contemporary in style as both of them were opened about nine years ago.  They have a good feeling and have undergone refurbishment, so are smart and clean.  Both hotels are great options for conferences and meetings in London and have capacity for up to 400 attendees.   The business lounges have tea and coffee available throughout the day.  Also, both have good transport links as well as friendly and helpful staff.

This hotel is just 5 minutes’ walk from Canary Wharf tube station (very quick on the Jubilee Line from mainline London stations) and has eight flexible meeting rooms on the 1st floor.  All the small meeting rooms have natural daylight and the largest room has its own foyer area with natural daylight although the room is in the centre of the building.   All the meeting rooms were refurbished in February 2015 and to encourage creativity there is a relaxed break out area with bean bags and seating pods.  The bedrooms in this hotel were impressively large and very comfortable.  I will remember the lunch for a very long time, as the beef casserole was outstanding.


The Hilton Tower Bridge


Situated close to the River Thames, and very close to London Bridge station, the Hilton London Tower Bridge has 245 bedrooms.  There are 12 flexible meeting rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors.  In addition there are two unusual areas which can be used exclusively for groups: the roof terrace with views of the Shard and there is a semi-private bar or dining area, the Snug, which is located off the main bar.  I was here in the early evening and both the hotel and the surrounding area were lively and Jamie’s Italian restaurant which is part of the hotel was busy with both residential guests and non-residents.  Jamie’s can also be booked for groups.
