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!

Hyatt Birmingham Start Soft Refurbishment

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.

Trinity Agents Alex Jarvis, Clare Abraham, Laura Cooke and Rosie Downes participated yesterday in a site visit tour of London hosted by the Accor hotel group, who collectively have over 40 properties in the London area, ranging in brands from Sofitel, Pullman, Mercure, Novotel, and Ibis.



Hotels visited include the vast meeting space of Novotel London West, located 5 minutes from Hammersmith Underground, the huge Ibis London Earls Court/Ilec Conference Centre with space for up to 1200 delegates, and the more chic Novotel Paddington.



Our tour continued to the recently refurbished & upgraded Pullman St. Pancras, with splendid views of London sights, to the Novotel Tower Bridge, with views over the Tower of London.



Going south of the river we headed to Novotel London City South, and the UK flagship Novotel London Blackfriars and poked our heads through the door of the flagship Ibis Blackfriars.



Our tour finished at the Sofitel St. James, which offered a beguiling mixture of French and traditional English styles in a former converted bank. Several of our agents also stopped by at the Mercure Windsor on the night prior to view this town-centre property.
