Our Marriott account manager came into the office along with team members from 4 Central London Marriott hotels this afternoon.

A fantastic new space we must tell you about has just opened at the Marriott Grosvenor Square for guests and delegates alike to have a bit of fun! Delegates holding meetings at the hotel can let off steam, take time out and hold delegate breaks in the new ‘Den’. A funky, contemporary, interactive new space filled with games such as Pac-man, air hockey, table football and American Pool.

This space is being offered complimentary when booking a meeting for up to 20 people in September and October.

Something very different for delegates to have as part of a working day!

Following a visit from the Sales Manager of the Hyatt Regency Birmingham today, we are aware of a few changes going on at the hotel. They have already started refurbishing the standard bedrooms, using a modern, neutral theme and plenty of local artwork, with work on the meeting space due to start after January 2014. All work is scheduled to be complete by May 2014.

They are also now offering a ‘Women’s Experience’ as part of an on-going innovation project, which gives female guests a more extensive list of amenities to either buy, borrow or have complimentary. Items such as hair straighteners, smaller portions on the room service menu and smaller bath robes and slippers are now available to make women feel more welcome in the hotel. This innovation project is an on-going thing and guests are asked questions about their stay to help the hotel improve their offering.

The Trinity team had a visit from Ardencote Manor Hotel, Country Club and Spa this morning and we discovered a few interesting facts! This 110 bedroom hotel and conference centre in Warwickshire offers natural daylight in all meeting rooms and complimentary WiFi throughout, and at the beginning of May this year they opened the new Brasserie Bar and Lounge. The old hotel bar was extended to create an alternative to the formal 2 AA rosette restaurant ‘The Lodge’. The Brasserie Bar and Lounge now offers a relaxed place to get a drink or some food, offering a modern European menu for dinner and lighter snacks and meals during the day. 

If it’s a quirky drinks reception venue in the Midlands you’re after, why not try The Pavilion and Island? This island situated within the 3 acre lake can accommodate approximately 150 people and offers great views across the grounds.
