Jacqui’s speaking at CHS North on 24th March in Leeds
There is growth in the economy and the commercial environment is changing, so how can event organisers prepare for a different world? Jacqui Kavanagh, CEO of Trinity Event Solutions and Chair of the HBAA will be exploring how to get the best deal as we negotiate our way out of recession at Corporate Hospitality Show North on 24th March in Leeds.
We are seeing that the meetings industry is already operating in a different landscape as the role of a revenue manager in hotels and venues is becoming more important. The trends that we are seeing are that: there is less opportunity for negotiation on rates; the rate offers are only valid for a set period of time leading to time pressures to make a decision; space is being managed more tightly with minimum numbers per room becoming more strict and contracts have a deadline for return and will be pulled if not signed swiftly.
This session will give you an understanding of how the changing environment will affect you. It will also consider different approaches to placing business and give you the negotiation skills needed to get the best result for your event. For the last few years it has been a buyers’ market, but as this is changing, you need to make sure that your business is the most attractive for the hotel or venue. Are you aware of the market that the hotel is operating in and can you demonstrate that your business the most desirable for the venue?
Customers and key stakeholders who have entered the events industry in the last few years have never bought outside a recession and we all need to be prepared to make the most of new opportunities as we come out of the downturn and understand the risks and challenges that are facing us in the future.
Our international team visited Barcelona recently to take a look at some of the hotels that are suitable for our clients. The city was looking good and we came away with plenty of options for different sizes of groups and in style and location.
The first hotel stop was the Hotel Rey Juan Carlos, only 15 minutes from the airport, with spectacular views over the city. This is a 5* hotel and has recently become a Fairmont property. It has a large amount of conference space with flexible meeting rooms in the hotel building and a convention centre in the grounds. The largest room is a purpose-built auditorium of 2,000 people. There are three pavilions in the gardens for events there’s lots of outside space too. This hotel really is a great option for large groups and it offers a wide variety of different locations on the same site. Refurbishment of the whole property will start in 2015 and take three years to complete. The existing restaurant will be extended, shops in the lobby will be removed and a destination restaurant added.
The Silken Diagonal is a modern 4-star hotel located on the Av. Diagonal and only 20 minutes from Barcelona El Prat Airport. The hotel has a large welcoming foyer area that is full of interesting features that contribute to a subtle ship theme. The hotel has 5 meeting spaces located on the lower ground floor that are fully flexible with partitioned walls. The rooms are well-equipped with the latest AV technology.
The Majestic Hotel & Spa is situated in the middle of Paseo de Gracia, close to Gaudi’s building and in the heart of the city. The luxury 5 star hotel has a welcoming foyer off the main street which instantly provides a calming environment from the busy city just outside. The 275 bedrooms were refurbished in 2012 in an elegant and traditional style with modern touches throughout. There are 9 soundproof meetings rooms, the largest of which can seat 500 theatre style, were also refurbished in 2012 and have air conditioning and high speed WiFi.
The Hilton Barcelona is located on Barcelona’s main avenue, Diagonal Mar. It is within easy reach of two large shopping centres, the FC Barcelona stadium and El Palacio de Congressos de Catalunya and just 10 minutes from the city centre. It has been refurbished within the last 18 months and has a modern and contemporary feel. As you enter the building you are greeted by the large bar area which is bright with a large orange sculpture that extends up the core of the building – the reception is to the left as you enter.
There are two meeting levels, one with natural daylight and one without. The two main ballrooms are on the lower ground, although they don’t have natural daylight they have a high ceiling (4.7m) and no pillars and the lighting replicates natural daylight. Both ballrooms can be divided into three rooms and the maximum capacity in both are 125 pax, theatre style. There is a large foyer outside ideal for catering and an exhibition area, there is also access to a patio area which can be set up with sofas for outside seating. The other 7 meeting rooms are located on the first floor, all have natural daylight with access to the upper foyer area for catering and exhibition. The open core in the heart of building lends itself to lots of light and the feeling of space.
There is an impressive restaurant in the style of Gaudi that opens up onto the terrace at the front of the hotel. During the summer months there are always tables with umbrellas in this area giving the hotel a bit of a buzz. This is a smart, business hotel in a good location. It is functional but with a touch of class – the staff were also extremely welcoming and friendly.
The hotel Princess Sofia is a traditional 5* property located on the Diagonal Mar Avenue. It is a large property with plenty of meeting space but in need of refurbishment in places. It has a very grand entrance way, lots of dark wood and marble with classical, bold décor. The hotel has 500 bedrooms and 28 Meeting Rooms, the majority of which are located on the first and second floor. There are 4 fixed meeting rooms on the 18th floor that have great views of Barcelona and a panoramic room on the 19th floor allowing 360 degree views and with a great terrace for reception drinks. The meeting rooms offer lots of option for layout but there are pillars that need to be taken into consideration. The large meeting rooms all have natural daylight. There is also a spa on the first floor located near to the meeting space.
The service and welcome at the hotel was excellent and the meeting facilities are very good. It is however, a very traditional hotel with a few signs of wear and tear. There is free WiFi throughout the hotel and upgrades to the executive level (an additional €60) gives access to the executive lounge, a complimentary massage in the Spa and free use of the meeting rooms for up to 2 hours.
The Hesperia Presidente is a smaller property with just 151 bedrooms and 8 meeting rooms. The maximum capacity is 110 theatre-style. Although the reception area is small it is elegant with some impressive sculptures and natural stone. The meeting space is located on the 2nd floor, all rooms have natural daylight but there are columns in the rooms which need to be taken into consideration. The attention to detail in this hotel is very good, with lots of little touches that make a good impression from the sweet cart in the foyer space to the large, sometimes quirky, sculptures throughout.
The bedrooms were quite small but with great views. They were elegantly furnished with a modern and contemporary finish. Our feeling is that it is a lovely, boutique hotel, elegantly furnished and in a good location.
The Hilton Diagonal Mar is situated at the end of the main avenue in Barcelona close to the sea and the Barcelona International Conference Centre and opposite a large shopping centre. It is a large, spacious hotel, with a bright and airy reception. There are 433 bedrooms, many with a sea view and 22 meeting rooms that can accommodate up to 1,000 delegates. There is one large ballroom that can host up to 700 delegates, although it has no natural daylight, the room opens up onto a spacious foyer with floor to ceiling glass windows. It also has one of the tallest ceilings at 7m high. There are various size break out rooms across 3 floors of the hotel, most of which have natural daylight. The hotel has a modern and contemporary feel, the bedrooms are well equipped and there are also relaxation rooms for the business traveller, decorated in relaxing colours and a comfortable office area to work from. There is a lovely roof terrace with a newly constructed pergola which would be ideal for reception drinks or a networking event.
This area of Barcelona has a number of large conference hotels, it is a bit like a concrete jungle but with access to the beach and lovely promenade just minutes away it is an ideal location for large groups. It is also 20km from the airport, which depending on traffic could mean a lengthy transfer.
AC Hotel Barcelona Forum has a very cool, urban feel, almost masculine in design and colouring. It is dark, with greys, blacks and a touch of red and the interior finishing has an industrial design, for example metal meshing and scaffolding poles around the stairwells, all very tastefully finished. One of the main plenaries is on the 4th floor and has natural daylight with a maximum capacity of 200 theatre style. The break out rooms are opposite and all have modern AV technology and daylight There is also the Sagrada Familia which is the largest plenary with a maximum capacity of 550 theatre style.
The hotel restaurants are very impressive, with high quality designer furnishings. There is also a spa and roof top pool, which can be used to host a cocktail evening. There are 368 bedrooms in total, most of which have a great sea view.
The Eurostars Grand Marina is situated at the marina in the heat of Barcelona and designed to look like a liner to blend in with the boats and cruise ships that frequent the port. It has a very welcoming feel with bright and airy rooms and tasteful furnishings. There is a terrace on the 8th floor that can be hired exclusively which has superb views of the city’s coastline. The meeting space is limited but there is direct access to the congress building next door and works in conjunction with that space. There is a very nice private dining space accessible through a private corridor. There are 291 bedrooms which were refurbished a year ago, most have sea views.
Considerations: When a cruise ship has docked in the Marina it is immediately adjacent to the hotel, it is so close you can see into the rooms and watch the activities on the deck. There are two cruise ships per week during high season and one during the low season.
Barcelo Sants hotel sits immediately above the main train station and can be accessed through the station itself or by a sweeping driveway behind. It is a very modern hotel and has been given a ‘space’ theming throughout in a recent refurbishment. The main reception area is large with a very tall ceiling. There is a space hub in the centre with a circular light fixture to give a modern and futuristic feel which has been finished off with ‘pop’ seats. The hotel has 3000sqm of event space with 14 Meeting Rooms and a large exhibition hall that can hold cars. The 364 bedrooms have an orbital feel, they are very modern with clean lines and open plan bathrooms. Considerations: This is a very different hotel and the theming works very well. The location is a little off putting from the outside but once you’re in the hotel you have very little knowledge of being above a train station. There are great views from the hotel but has little outdoor space.
The Novotel Birmingham has 148 bedrooms, each of which are a good size and have all the required mod cons. All of the spaces in the hotel follow the similar styling of bright colours contrasting against neutral surroundings with modern and stylish furniture. The hotel has 8 meeting rooms with the largest holding up to 300 theatre style. They also have a space located adjacent to the Elements restaurant that is perfect for private dining. The Novotel Birmingham is very clean cut and modern, those clients requiring something with a little more character would not find this venue suitable for their needs.

The Radisson Blu Birmingham is an unmissable building made mostly out of glass and is currently the tallest building in Birmingham. Needless to say, natural daylight is in abundance in both meeting rooms and bedrooms. The styling throughout the venue is very nice with marble floors in the majority of the public areas and neutral colours. The bedroom styling is very nice with 3 different styles of decor to choose from, ensuring there is something for everyone. The Radisson’s largest room has a maximum capacity of 60 in a cabaret layout, meaning that the Radisson is not able to host any of the larger events, but is a fantastic option for any smaller meetings.

The Hilton Garden Inn is located slightly out of the city centre but has some good meeting space that is typical of that of other Hiltons. The bedrooms are all a nice standard and are well appointed with all the required amenities. The hotel only has standard and twin rooms that follow a consistent standard, perfect for housing. multiple delegates fairly. They are all also the same in terms of décor with neutral tones that are likely to suit the majority of peoples taste. Across the board this venue is similar to other Hilton properties, so clients who know and love the Hilton brand will know what to expect. All of the bedrooms and meeting spaces have natural daylight as well. While the standard and consistency of the Hilton brand is what makes it so popular, it may not be suitable for clients who are looking for something a little bit out of the ordinary.

The MacDonald hotel in Birmingham has a good variety of meeting space and its largest room is able to hold 240 in a cabaret layout. It also has a large amount of boardrooms varying from 6- 20 delegates- all the boardrooms, and the majority of the meeting space in general, have natural daylight. Their largest room has no obstructive pillars. The bedrooms are of a good standard with all the required amenities, they are also a really good size especially considering the hotels location. The venues biggest selling point is its location on the high street of Birmingham, allowing a short walk to pretty much anything you could possibly want. It is also only about a 4 minutes’ walk from the nearest station. The venue is a more traditional style and may not be to everyone’s taste. The location, while fantastic in terms of accessibility and local attractions, could be noisy at night.

The Radisson’s largest room has a maximum capacity of 60 in a cabaret layout, meaning that the Radisson is not able to host any of the larger events, but is a fantastic option for any smaller meetings.
Novotel Birmingham
The Novotel Birmingham has 148 bedrooms, each of which are a good size and have all the required mod cons. All of the spaces in the hotel follow the similar styling of bright colours contrasting against neutral surroundings with modern and stylish furniture. The hotel has 8 meeting rooms with the largest holding up to 300 theatre style. They also have a space located adjacent to the Elements restaurant that is perfect for private dining. The Novotel Birmingham is very clean cut and modern, those clients requiring something with a little more character would not find this venue suitable for their needs.
The Studio Birmingham has been nicknamed “The Tardis” due to its deceptive size. From the outside the venue is just a small doorway located on one of the streets just off the high-street, but once you get inside it is a 4 floor meetings and events centre. There is a huge amount of flexible space at this venue, allowing them to cover almost any eventuality up to 220 theatre. Their largest capacity room, the Explore room, has incredible in-built AV and the natural daylight throughout the venue is fantastic. The venue as a whole is modern, funky and quirky and has a relaxed and welcoming environment- mainly due to the kind and relaxed mentality of the venues staff. There are also two “play” rooms that are creative areas with beanbags and bright and quirky décor- these areas are great for creative brainstorming or informal meetings. They also have an understanding with a nearby hotel so that they can offer a 24hour rate which is unusual for a venue without on-site bedrooms. I feel that The Studio in Birmingham is a great venue, but may not be suitable for clients who are seeking a more traditional feel.
MacDonald Birmingham
The MacDonald hotel in Birmingham has a good variety of meeting space and its largest room is able to hold 240 in a cabaret layout. It also has a large amount of boardrooms varying from 6- 20 delegates- all the boardrooms, and the majority of the meeting space in general, have natural daylight. Their largest room has no obstructive pillars. The bedrooms are of a good standard with all the required amenities, they are also a really good size especially considering the hotels location. The venues biggest selling point is its location on the high street of Birmingham, allowing a short walk to pretty much anything you could possibly want. It is also only about a 4 minutes’ walk from the nearest station. The venue is a more traditional style and may not be to everyone’s taste. The location, while fantastic in terms of accessibility and local attractions, could be noisy at night.
Hilton Garden Inn Birmingham
The Hilton Garden Inn is located slightly out of the city centre but has some good meeting space that is typical of that of other Hiltons. The bedrooms are all a nice standard and are well appointed with all the required amenities. The hotel only has standard and twin rooms that follow a consistent standard, perfect for housing. multiple delegates fairly. They are all also the same in terms of décor with neutral tones that are likely to suit the majority of peoples taste. Across the board this venue is similar to other Hilton properties, so clients who know and love the Hilton brand will know what to expect. All of the bedrooms and meeting spaces have natural daylight as well. While the standard and consistency of the Hilton brand is what makes it so popular, it may not be suitable for clients who are looking for something a little bit out of the ordinary.
Radisson Blu Birmingham
The Radisson Blu Birmingham is an unmissable building made mostly out of glass and is currently the tallest building in Birmingham. Needless to say, natural daylight is in abundance in both meeting rooms and bedrooms. The styling throughout the venue is very nice with marble floors in the majority of the public areas and neutral colours. The bedroom styling is very nice with 3 different styles of decor to choose from, ensuring there is something for everyone.

The Hotel Du Vin has a small number of meeting spaces, the largest of which has lots of natural daylight and can hold up to 90 delegates theatre style. The venue has a courtyard situated in the middle of the venue and has the option to cover this with a glass retractable roof, this would be a lovely space for lunches and events during the summer months or great to use as breakout space. The venue has its own pub which is a lovely space and would be a great for exclusive use for parties. The venue is mainly geared towards dinners and parties however the smaller meeting rooms would be good for a small board meeting. Some of the smaller meeting rooms can appear to be dark due to the low lighting however this can rectified and additional lighting can be supplied is necessary.
The Studio Birmingham
The Studio Birmingham has been nicknamed “The Tardis” due to its deceptive size. From the outside the venue is just a small doorway located on one of the streets just off the high-street, but once you get inside it is a 4 floor meetings and events centre. There is a huge amount of flexible space at this venue, allowing them to cover almost any eventuality up to 220 theatre. Their largest capacity room, the Explore room, has incredible in-built AV and the natural daylight throughout the venue is fantastic. The venue as a whole is modern, funky and quirky and has a relaxed and welcoming environment- mainly due to the kind and relaxed mentality of the venues staff. There are also two “play” rooms that are creative areas with beanbags and bright and quirky décor- these areas are great for creative brainstorming or informal meetings. They also have an understanding with a nearby hotel so that they can offer a 24hour rate which is unusual for a venue without on-site bedrooms. I feel that The Studio in Birmingham is a great venue, but may not be suitable for clients who are seeking a more traditional feel.
MacDonald Birmingham
The MacDonald hotel in Birmingham has a good variety of meeting space and its largest room is able to hold 240 in a cabaret layout. It also has a large amount of boardrooms varying from 6- 20 delegates- all the boardrooms, and the majority of the meeting space in general, have natural daylight. Their largest room has no obstructive pillars. The bedrooms are of a good standard with all the required amenities, they are also a really good size especially considering the hotels location. The venues biggest selling point is its location on the high street of Birmingham, allowing a short walk to pretty much anything you could possibly want. It is also only about a 4 minutes’ walk from the nearest station. The venue is a more traditional style and may not be to everyone’s taste. The location, while fantastic in terms of accessibility and local attractions, could be noisy at night.
Hilton Garden Inn Birmingham
The Hilton Garden Inn is located slightly out of the city centre but has some good meeting space that is typical of that of other Hiltons. The bedrooms are all a nice standard and are well appointed with all the required amenities. The hotel only has standard and twin rooms that follow a consistent standard, perfect for housing. multiple delegates fairly. They are all also the same in terms of décor with neutral tones that are likely to suit the majority of peoples taste. Across the board this venue is similar to other Hilton properties, so clients who know and love the Hilton brand will know what to expect. All of the bedrooms and meeting spaces have natural daylight as well. While the standard and consistency of the Hilton brand is what makes it so popular, it may not be suitable for clients who are looking for something a little bit out of the ordinary.
Radisson Blu Birmingham
The Radisson Blu Birmingham is an unmissable building made mostly out of glass and is currently the tallest building in Birmingham. Needless to say, natural daylight is in abundance in both meeting rooms and bedrooms. The styling throughout the venue is very nice with marble floors in the majority of the public areas and neutral colours. The bedroom styling is very nice with 3 different styles of decor to choose from, ensuring there is something for everyone. The Radisson’s largest room has a maximum capacity of 60 in a cabaret layout, meaning that the Radisson is not able to host any of the larger events, but is a fantastic option for any smaller meetings.
Novotel Birmingham
The Novotel Birmingham has 148 bedrooms, each of which are a good size and have all the required mod cons. All of the spaces in the hotel follow the similar styling of bright colours contrasting against neutral surroundings with modern and stylish furniture. The hotel has 8 meeting rooms with the largest holding up to 300 theatre style. They also have a space located adjacent to the Elements restaurant that is perfect for private dining. The Novotel Birmingham is very clean cut and modern, those clients requiring something with a little more character would not find this venue suitable for their needs.
The hotel is located right next to the Mailbox minutes from New Street station. The hotel is stylish, sleek and contemporary. All meeting space is on the mezzanine level and there is a conference desk directly in front of the lifts and a large foyer area with sofas and soft seating (tea/coffee and lunch can be served in this area). There are 189 bedrooms and all are a good size and very well decorated in the usual boutique style. The hotel has a wine cellar located just off the restaurant, which seats a maximum of 12, and works really well with the private dining room just next door. Wine tasting can be offered here or, if there are more than 12 people, on the conference floor. This is a fantastic hotel best suited to smaller meetings and especially those looking for a little luxury. The hotel does not have its own car park however the Mailbox car park is housed in the same building so is very easily accessible. The the meeting rooms are a little dark however additional lighting could be sourced if necessary.

The hotel is located in the Jewellery quarter of the city and has a traditional feel to it. The reception has a grand staircase which leads up to some of the bedrooms. The Hotel Du Vin has a small number of meeting spaces, the largest of which has lots of natural daylight and can hold up to 90 delegates theatre style. The venue has a courtyard situated in the middle of the venue and has the option to cover this with a glass retractable roof, this would be a lovely space for lunches and events during the summer months or great to use as breakout space. The venue has its own pub which is a lovely space and would be a great for exclusive use for parties. The venue is mainly geared towards dinners and parties however the smaller meeting rooms would be good for a small board meeting. Some of the smaller meeting rooms can appear to be dark due to the low lighting however this can rectified and additional lighting can be supplied is necessary.
The Studio Birmingham
The Studio Birmingham has been nicknamed “The Tardis” due to its deceptive size. From the outside the venue is just a small doorway located on one of the streets just off the high-street, but once you get inside it is a 4 floor meetings and events centre. There is a huge amount of flexible space at this venue, allowing them to cover almost any eventuality up to 220 theatre. Their largest capacity room, the Explore room, has incredible in-built AV and the natural daylight throughout the venue is fantastic. The venue as a whole is modern, funky and quirky and has a relaxed and welcoming environment- mainly due to the kind and relaxed mentality of the venues staff. There are also two “play” rooms that are creative areas with beanbags and bright and quirky décor- these areas are great for creative brainstorming or informal meetings. They also have an understanding with a nearby hotel so that they can offer a 24hour rate which is unusual for a venue without on-site bedrooms. I feel that The Studio in Birmingham is a great venue, but may not be suitable for clients who are seeking a more traditional feel.
MacDonald Birmingham
The MacDonald hotel in Birmingham has a good variety of meeting space and its largest room is able to hold 240 in a cabaret layout. It also has a large amount of boardrooms varying from 6- 20 delegates- all the boardrooms, and the majority of the meeting space in general, have natural daylight. Their largest room has no obstructive pillars. The bedrooms are of a good standard with all the required amenities, they are also a really good size especially considering the hotels location. The venues biggest selling point is its location on the high street of Birmingham, allowing a short walk to pretty much anything you could possibly want. It is also only about a 4 minutes’ walk from the nearest station. The venue is a more traditional style and may not be to everyone’s taste. The location, while fantastic in terms of accessibility and local attractions, could be noisy at night.
Hilton Garden Inn Birmingham
The Hilton Garden Inn is located slightly out of the city centre but has some good meeting space that is typical of that of other Hiltons. The bedrooms are all a nice standard and are well appointed with all the required amenities. The hotel only has standard and twin rooms that follow a consistent standard, perfect for housing. multiple delegates fairly. They are all also the same in terms of décor with neutral tones that are likely to suit the majority of peoples taste. Across the board this venue is similar to other Hilton properties, so clients who know and love the Hilton brand will know what to expect. All of the bedrooms and meeting spaces have natural daylight as well. While the standard and consistency of the Hilton brand is what makes it so popular, it may not be suitable for clients who are looking for something a little bit out of the ordinary.
Radisson Blu Birmingham
The Radisson Blu Birmingham is an unmissable building made mostly out of glass and is currently the tallest building in Birmingham. Needless to say, natural daylight is in abundance in both meeting rooms and bedrooms. The styling throughout the venue is very nice with marble floors in the majority of the public areas and neutral colours. The bedroom styling is very nice with 3 different styles of decor to choose from, ensuring there is something for everyone. The Radisson’s largest room has a maximum capacity of 60 in a cabaret layout, meaning that the Radisson is not able to host any of the larger events, but is a fantastic option for any smaller meetings.
Novotel Birmingham
The Novotel Birmingham has 148 bedrooms, each of which are a good size and have all the required mod cons. All of the spaces in the hotel follow the similar styling of bright colours contrasting against neutral surroundings with modern and stylish furniture. The hotel has 8 meeting rooms with the largest holding up to 300 theatre style. They also have a space located adjacent to the Elements restaurant that is perfect for private dining. The Novotel Birmingham is very clean cut and modern, those clients requiring something with a little more character would not find this venue suitable for their needs.

Trinity’s George Harriman Hardy and Gemma Francis took a trip to Birmingham to check out some new venues. Read their impressions below.
Malmasion
The hotel is located right next to the Mailbox minutes from New Street station. The hotel is stylish, sleek and contemporary. All meeting space is on the mezzanine level and there is a conference desk directly in front of the lifts and a large foyer area with sofas and soft seating (tea/coffee and lunch can be served in this area). There are 189 bedrooms and all are a good size and very well decorated in the usual boutique style. The hotel has a wine cellar located just off the restaurant, which seats a maximum of 12, and works really well with the private dining room just next door. Wine tasting can be offered here or, if there are more than 12 people, on the conference floor. This is a fantastic hotel best suited to smaller meetings and especially those looking for a little luxury. The hotel does not have its own car park however the Mailbox car park is housed in the same building so is very easily accessible. The the meeting rooms are a little dark however additional lighting could be sourced if necessary.

The Millennium Baileys is a sister property to the Millennium Gloucester, and its history as a Gentlemen’s Club means that it is steeped in character. The hotel has recently undergone a refurbishment, and this shows in all areas of the hotel, especially the bar and restaurant area, which is busy every night of the week. There are no meeting spaces on site, but works well for a place for delegates attending meetings at the Millennium Gloucester to go for a change of scenery.

Millennium Gloucester Hotel London Kensington
The lobby of this venue is really impressive, as are the staff who go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The venue is directly connected to its own dedicated conference centre, which has a staggering 25 separate meeting spaces, including the lovely conservatory, which would be perfect for an evening reception or event. All of the bedrooms are the same size, which is convenient for housing multiple delegates. Everything about this venue is impressive. There is an underground car park with 300 spaces.

The Holiday Inn Kensington Forum is a very large, imposing building in a convenient location, with a less than convenient entrance (you have to walk around the side of the building, past all the loading bays of the hotel). The meeting spaces are contained in “The Academy”, which was fully furbished only a year ago, the Holiday Inn’s dedicated meeting area of the hotel. There are 13 different meeting spaces which are served by self-service refreshment areas and their own dedicated registration desks. The building really is not much to look at from the outside, but this is not reflected in the interior.

The breakout areas are lovely and refreshments can often be served inside of the meeting rooms. There is a lovely garden area, but this only available to use until 8pm, due to the residential surroundings

The bar is on an upper level and overlooks to reception area. The hotel has a variety of different sized meeting rooms, including the Palace Suite, which can hold up to 550 delegates theatre style. The larger meeting rooms (The Palace Suite and the Kensington Suite) can be partitioned to make smaller spaces. In addition to this, the meetings spaces are served by their own private entrance. Only three of the meeting rooms have natural daylight, (the Balmoral, Highgrove and York).
Kensington Close Hotel
The entrance to Kensington Close Hotel is very grand and leads on to a large reception area with a relaxed bar area with lots of space. There are 12 newly refurbished meeting rooms which can accommodate anything from 2-250 delegates. Many of the larger rooms can be partitioned and are therefore very flexible. The breakout areas are lovely and refreshments can often be served inside of the meeting rooms. There is a lovely garden area, but this only available to use until 8pm, due to the residential surroundings
Holiday Inn London Kensington Forum
The Holiday Inn Kensington Forum is a very large, imposing building in a convenient location, with a less than convenient entrance (you have to walk around the side of the building, past all the loading bays of the hotel). The meeting spaces are contained in “The Academy”, which was fully furbished only a year ago, the Holiday Inn’s dedicated meeting area of the hotel. There are 13 different meeting spaces which are served by self-service refreshment areas and their own dedicated registration desks. The building really is not much to look at from the outside, but this is not reflected in the interior.
Millennium Gloucester Hotel London Kensington
The lobby of this venue is really impressive, as are the staff who go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The venue is directly connected to its own dedicated conference centre, which has a staggering 25 separate meeting spaces, including the lovely conservatory, which would be perfect for an evening reception or event. All of the bedrooms are the same size, which is convenient for housing multiple delegates. Everything about this venue is impressive. There is an underground car park with 300 spaces.
Millennium Baileys Hotel London Kensington
The Millennium Baileys is a sister property to the Millennium Gloucester, and its history as a Gentlemen’s Club means that it is steeped in character. The hotel has recently undergone a refurbishment, and this shows in all areas of the hotel, especially the bar and restaurant area, which is busy every night of the week. There are no meeting spaces on site, but works well for a place for delegates attending meetings at the Millennium Gloucester to go for a change of scenery.
Outside of the venue there are traditionally dressed concierges, who are waiting to help delegates and guests. Upon entering, you are greeted by a large lobby area with a multitude of different shops, including a gift shop. Due to the fact the venue is in a quieter area, you are able to drive directly to the entrance of the hotel. The meeting rooms are all decorated traditionally and a conscious effort has been made to keep the rooms as authentic as possible, evident in the wooden panels in the Shannon Suite. There are also spaces to cater for larger events. None of the meeting spaces have natural daylight.

There really is no missing the London Marriott Hotel Kensington, the large hotel is encapsulated by a glass atrium which reaches all the way to the top floors. The lobby is extremely large and bright, due to the glass walls and all the staff are very approachable. The hotel’s meeting spaces are now fully operational following a £1.3 million refurbishment at the end of 2014. The meeting rooms are designed with Marriott’s “Future of Meetings” concept in mind, which is a new focus on each meeting’s individuality and purpose. To move away from the perception of meeting spaces as just “tables and chairs” the meeting rooms are all equip with state of the art technology including a “click-share system” which allows multiple laptops or tablets to wirelessly connect to screens in the rooms. The break-out areas are cleverly designed to inspire “social, collaborative and mobile work”, with small work stations and plug sockets readily available. There are 9 meeting rooms in total, with the largest room being able to hold 101 delegates.

The bar is on an upper level and overlooks to reception area. The hotel has a variety of different sized meeting rooms, including the Palace Suite, which can hold up to 550 delegates theatre style. The larger meeting rooms (The Palace Suite and the Kensington Suite) can be partitioned to make smaller spaces. In addition to this, the meetings spaces are served by their own private entrance. Only three of the meeting rooms have natural daylight, (the Balmoral, Highgrove and York).
Kensington Close Hotel
The entrance to Kensington Close Hotel is very grand and leads on to a large reception area with a relaxed bar area with lots of space. There are 12 newly refurbished meeting rooms which can accommodate anything from 2-250 delegates. Many of the larger rooms can be partitioned and are therefore very flexible. The breakout areas are lovely and refreshments can often be served inside of the meeting rooms. There is a lovely garden area, but this only available to use until 8pm, due to the residential surroundings
Holiday Inn London Kensington Forum
The Holiday Inn Kensington Forum is a very large, imposing building in a convenient location, with a less than convenient entrance (you have to walk around the side of the building, past all the loading bays of the hotel). The meeting spaces are contained in “The Academy”, which was fully furbished only a year ago, the Holiday Inn’s dedicated meeting area of the hotel. There are 13 different meeting spaces which are served by self-service refreshment areas and their own dedicated registration desks. The building really is not much to look at from the outside, but this is not reflected in the interior.
Millennium Gloucester Hotel London Kensington
The lobby of this venue is really impressive, as are the staff who go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The venue is directly connected to its own dedicated conference centre, which has a staggering 25 separate meeting spaces, including the lovely conservatory, which would be perfect for an evening reception or event. All of the bedrooms are the same size, which is convenient for housing multiple delegates. Everything about this venue is impressive. There is an underground car park with 300 spaces.
Millennium Baileys Hotel London Kensington
The Millennium Baileys is a sister property to the Millennium Gloucester, and its history as a Gentlemen’s Club means that it is steeped in character. The hotel has recently undergone a refurbishment, and this shows in all areas of the hotel, especially the bar and restaurant area, which is busy every night of the week. There are no meeting spaces on site, but works well for a place for delegates attending meetings at the Millennium Gloucester to go for a change of scenery.
London Marriott Hotel Kensington
There really is no missing the London Marriott Hotel Kensington, the large hotel is encapsulated by a glass atrium which reaches all the way to the top floors. The lobby is extremely large and bright, due to the glass walls and all the staff are very approachable. The hotel’s meeting spaces are now fully operational following a £1.3 million refurbishment at the end of 2014. The meeting rooms are designed with Marriott’s “Future of Meetings” concept in mind, which is a new focus on each meeting’s individuality and purpose. To move away from the perception of meeting spaces as just “tables and chairs” the meeting rooms are all equip with state of the art technology including a “click-share system” which allows multiple laptops or tablets to wirelessly connect to screens in the rooms. The break-out areas are cleverly designed to inspire “social, collaborative and mobile work”, with small work stations and plug sockets readily available. There are 9 meeting rooms in total, with the largest room being able to hold 101 delegates.
Mercure London Kensington
This hotel is on the smaller side, and this is evident in the size of both the lobby and the bedrooms. There is only one meeting room on site, which can seat a maximum of 20 delegates’ theatre style, but it is possible to use the breakfast room as a meeting space. There is a small internet station just off of the main lobby and also a coffee shop. There does not seem to be much difference between a standard and executive bedroom, and there is only one meeting room.
Copthorne Tara Hotel, London Kensington
Outside of the venue there are traditionally dressed concierges, who are waiting to help delegates and guests. Upon entering, you are greeted by a large lobby area with a multitude of different shops, including a gift shop. Due to the fact the venue is in a quieter area, you are able to drive directly to the entrance of the hotel. The meeting rooms are all decorated traditionally and a conscious effort has been made to keep the rooms as authentic as possible, evident in the wooden panels in the Shannon Suite. There are also spaces to cater for larger events. None of the meeting spaces have natural daylight.

The Crowne Plaza Kensington is really easy to locate due to the lovely façade, with large flags draped either side of the Crowne Plaza signage. The lobby is large and all of the staff are very helpful and friendly. The meeting rooms are all fitted with the latest technology, including screens which can wirelessly connect to most laptops/i-pads/tablets. There are also whiteboards that blend in to the style of the room, lessening the needs for flip-charts. Some of the meeting rooms connect directly to a lovely terrace and garden area, which would be perfect for team building activities or reception drinks in the warmer months. All of the bedrooms are undergoing a refurbishment, which is due to be completed by March/April this year.

There are 12 meeting rooms in total, all of which have been recently refurbished to a high standard and include inbuilt sound systems and LCD projectors.

The Millennium Baileys is a sister property to the Millennium Gloucester, and its history as a Gentlemen’s Club means that it is steeped in character. The hotel has recently undergone a refurbishment, and this shows in all areas of the hotel, especially the bar and restaurant area, which is busy every night of the week. There are no meeting spaces on site, but works well for a place for delegates attending meetings at the Millennium Gloucester to go for a change of scenery.
The Vanderbilt is conveniently located 2 minutes’ walk away from Gloucester Road underground station, which has direct tube links to London King’s Cross station. The building itself is converted town houses and because of this the venue fits in wonderfully to the surrounding areas. The lobby is decorated in an old English living room style, and has a small area with i-macs and printers, which are free to use. There are 12 meeting rooms in total, all of which have been recently refurbished to a high standard and include inbuilt sound systems and LCD projectors. The majority of the meeting rooms are on the lower ground floor, so they do not have natural daylight.
Crowne Plaza Kensington
The Crowne Plaza Kensington is really easy to locate due to the lovely façade, with large flags draped either side of the Crowne Plaza signage. The lobby is large and all of the staff are very helpful and friendly. The meeting rooms are all fitted with the latest technology, including screens which can wirelessly connect to most laptops/i-pads/tablets. There are also whiteboards that blend in to the style of the room, lessening the needs for flip-charts. Some of the meeting rooms connect directly to a lovely terrace and garden area, which would be perfect for team building activities or reception drinks in the warmer months. All of the bedrooms are undergoing a refurbishment, which is due to be completed by March/April this year.
London Marriott Hotel Kensington
There really is no missing the London Marriott Hotel Kensington, the large hotel is encapsulated by a glass atrium which reaches all the way to the top floors. The lobby is extremely large and bright, due to the glass walls and all the staff are very approachable. The hotel’s meeting spaces are now fully operational following a £1.3 million refurbishment at the end of 2014. The meeting rooms are designed with Marriott’s “Future of Meetings” concept in mind, which is a new focus on each meeting’s individuality and purpose. To move away from the perception of meeting spaces as just “tables and chairs” the meeting rooms are all equip with state of the art technology including a “click-share system” which allows multiple laptops or tablets to wirelessly connect to screens in the rooms. The break-out areas are cleverly designed to inspire “social, collaborative and mobile work”, with small work stations and plug sockets readily available. There are 9 meeting rooms in total, with the largest room being able to hold 101 delegates.
Mercure London Kensington
This hotel is on the smaller side, and this is evident in the size of both the lobby and the bedrooms. There is only one meeting room on site, which can seat a maximum of 20 delegates’ theatre style, but it is possible to use the breakfast room as a meeting space. There is a small internet station just off of the main lobby and also a coffee shop. There does not seem to be much difference between a standard and executive bedroom, and there is only one meeting room.
Copthorne Tara Hotel, London Kensington
Outside of the venue there are traditionally dressed concierges, who are waiting to help delegates and guests. Upon entering, you are greeted by a large lobby area with a multitude of different shops, including a gift shop. Due to the fact the venue is in a quieter area, you are able to drive directly to the entrance of the hotel. The meeting rooms are all decorated traditionally and a conscious effort has been made to keep the rooms as authentic as possible, evident in the wooden panels in the Shannon Suite. There are also spaces to cater for larger events. None of the meeting spaces have natural daylight.
Royal Garden Hotel
The venue is easily accessible with valet right at the entrance and an NCP car park directly next door. The lobby is extremely large and airy and there are plenty of staff on hand to help. The bar is on an upper level and overlooks to reception area. The hotel has a variety of different sized meeting rooms, including the Palace Suite, which can hold up to 550 delegates theatre style. The larger meeting rooms (The Palace Suite and the Kensington Suite) can be partitioned to make smaller spaces. In addition to this, the meetings spaces are served by their own private entrance. Only three of the meeting rooms have natural daylight, (the Balmoral, Highgrove and York).
Kensington Close Hotel
The entrance to Kensington Close Hotel is very grand and leads on to a large reception area with a relaxed bar area with lots of space. There are 12 newly refurbished meeting rooms which can accommodate anything from 2-250 delegates. Many of the larger rooms can be partitioned and are therefore very flexible. The breakout areas are lovely and refreshments can often be served inside of the meeting rooms. There is a lovely garden area, but this only available to use until 8pm, due to the residential surroundings
Holiday Inn London Kensington Forum
The Holiday Inn Kensington Forum is a very large, imposing building in a convenient location, with a less than convenient entrance (you have to walk around the side of the building, past all the loading bays of the hotel). The meeting spaces are contained in “The Academy”, which was fully furbished only a year ago, the Holiday Inn’s dedicated meeting area of the hotel. There are 13 different meeting spaces which are served by self-service refreshment areas and their own dedicated registration desks. The building really is not much to look at from the outside, but this is not reflected in the interior.
Millennium Gloucester Hotel London Kensington
The lobby of this venue is really impressive, as are the staff who go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The venue is directly connected to its own dedicated conference centre, which has a staggering 25 separate meeting spaces, including the lovely conservatory, which would be perfect for an evening reception or event. All of the bedrooms are the same size, which is convenient for housing multiple delegates. Everything about this venue is impressive. There is an underground car park with 300 spaces.

This restaurant is situated in the heart of St Andrew. Its focus is on great tasting bistro food and ethically source the best local produce.All the fresh vegetables are nicely displayed in the entrance and the chefs come and choose what they need. This is a very funky venue and would be an ideal venue for large informal dinners. The restaurant/booths at this venue are not private and the venue could get quite noisy if there was a lot of customers. If there is a large number of delegates we would recommend exclusive hire of this venue.

This is a very rustic and unique venue which would be great for private events. The barn is open during the summer months from Thursday to Sunday. The barn has the majority of its structure which is built up from huge wooden crates and a steal roof. With an open air style of cooking in a large open grill and oven, all the food served is to an exceptionally high standard with many of the produce such as sausages, steaks and burgers coming from the farm itself. The barn is situation down a long driveway, across from the car park, farm shop and café. This would be a lovely venue for summer parties, gatherings and informal dinners during the summer months. Due to the structure of the barn a site visit would be appropriate for any events due to take place during the start/end of summer due to temperatures.

With an open air style of cooking in a large open grill and oven, all the food served is to an exceptionally high standard with many of the produce such as sausages, steaks and burgers coming from the farm itself. The barn is situation down a long driveway, across from the car park, farm shop and café. This would be a lovely venue for summer parties, gatherings and informal dinners during the summer months. Due to the structure of the barn a site visit would be appropriate for any events due to take place during the start/end of summer due to temperatures.

The venue which is located on Kinkell farm which is located a short drive away from St Andrews with coastal views. The main space can hold events for up to 300 for dinners and up to an additional 200 in one of the adjacent spaces which would still have access to the dance floor, catering area and still feel like part of the event. The space is absolutely stunning and is a great venue for Gala dinners, awards evenings and parties. The byre and the Stables has all the original wooden beams and stone walls, this is really lovely venue and is very versatile for any event. The use of lighting, candles, soft furnishings and AV equipment really does transform this barn into a dream venue for any event. Although the venue is located outside of St Andrews a taxi company can be supplied at a charge to ensure all delegates arrive at the venue. I would suggest a site visit for any events where wheelchair users will be attending.

The space is absolutely stunning and is a great venue for Gala dinners, awards evenings and parties. The byre and the Stables has all the original wooden beams and stone walls, this is really lovely venue and is very versatile for any event. The use of lighting, candles, soft furnishings and AV equipment really does transform this barn into a dream venue for any event. Although the venue is located outside of St Andrews a taxi company can be supplied at a charge to ensure all delegates arrive at the venue. I would suggest a site visit for any events where wheelchair users will be attending.
Balgove Larder Steakbarn
This is a very rustic and unique venue which would be great for private events. The barn is open during the summer months from Thursday to Sunday. The barn has the majority of its structure which is built up from huge wooden crates and a steal roof. With an open air style of cooking in a large open grill and oven, all the food served is to an exceptionally high standard with many of the produce such as sausages, steaks and burgers coming from the farm itself. The barn is situation down a long driveway, across from the car park, farm shop and café. This would be a lovely venue for summer parties, gatherings and informal dinners during the summer months. Due to the structure of the barn a site visit would be appropriate for any events due to take place during the start/end of summer due to temperatures.

I recently attended a Fam trip to the Fairmont St Andrews, it is a stunning venue and ideal for so many events. I really enjoyed the highland games event which was organised for us and the Burns Night dinner was truly unforgettable. So much time and effort went into organising this trip and I would like to thank all at the Fairmont St Andrews for a great trip. I had a truly amazing experience and look forward to working with them on future events as I know 100% my clients will be very and truly looked after.

The main space can hold events for up to 300 for dinners and up to an additional 200 in one of the adjacent spaces which would still have access to the dance floor, catering area and still feel like part of the event. The space is absolutely stunning and is a great venue for Gala dinners, awards evenings and parties. The byre and the Stables has all the original wooden beams and stone walls, this is really lovely venue and is very versatile for any event. The use of lighting, candles, soft furnishings and AV equipment really does transform this barn into a dream venue for any event. Although the venue is located outside of St Andrews a taxi company can be supplied at a charge to ensure all delegates arrive at the venue. I would suggest a site visit for any events where wheelchair users will be attending.
Balgove Larder Steakbarn
This is a very rustic and unique venue which would be great for private events. The barn is open during the summer months from Thursday to Sunday. The barn has the majority of its structure which is built up from huge wooden crates and a steal roof. With an open air style of cooking in a large open grill and oven, all the food served is to an exceptionally high standard with many of the produce such as sausages, steaks and burgers coming from the farm itself. The barn is situation down a long driveway, across from the car park, farm shop and café. This would be a lovely venue for summer parties, gatherings and informal dinners during the summer months. Due to the structure of the barn a site visit would be appropriate for any events due to take place during the start/end of summer due to temperatures.
Forgans
This restaurant is situated in the heart of St Andrew. Its focus is on great tasting bistro food and ethically source the best local produce.All the fresh vegetables are nicely displayed in the entrance and the chefs come and choose what they need. This is a very funky venue and would be an ideal venue for large informal dinners. The restaurant/booths at this venue are not private and the venue could get quite noisy if there was a lot of customers. If there is a large number of delegates we would recommend exclusive hire of this venue.

I recently attended a Fam trip to the Fairmont St Andrews, it is a stunning venue and ideal for so many events. I really enjoyed the highland games event which was organised for us and the Burns Night dinner was truly unforgettable. So much time and effort went into organising this trip and I would like to thank all at the Fairmont St Andrews for a great trip. I had a truly amazing experience and look forward to working with them on future events as I know 100% my clients will be very and truly looked after.
The Clubhouse
The Clubhouse overlooks 2 championship golf courses and has stunning views over the bay of St Andrews. The venue uses locally sourced Scottish ingredients to offer simple yet impressive dinning with excellent service. This venue is a stunning dinner option in the evenings with the backdrop of the lights of St Andrews which create a wonder ambiance for any event. The Clubhouse can be hired for exclusive use. The venue is located outside of St Andrews with a small car park, and we would recommend transfers to/from this venue.
Hill of Tarvit
This venue is 12 miles outside of St Andrews and is owned by the National Trust for Scotland and is steeped in history. The venue can offer a range of activities such as murder mystery events, a game of crocket on the lawn or a game of golf as it has a hickory golf course which has been rebuilt as used by the Sharpes’ family. The Hill of Tarvit is more geared towards dinners, drinks reception or weddings, if clients are looking for something a little bit different this would be an ideal, elegant and traditional venue. The venue can accommodate up to a maximum of 60 delegates for dinner and up to 100 guests for a drinks reception. If client are having a dinner they are unable to serve red wine in some of the rooms due to the amount of fine art work, original tapestries and antique flooring.

Do you really know The Grove, The Runnymede-on-Thames and The Athenaeum Hotels?
Here are some fun facts that we learnt last week when these hotels came to visit … you’ll be able to amaze your delegates with this fascinating information .
THE GROVE
• Queen Victoria is said to have invented ‘the weekend break’ following her visits to The Grove.
• George Stubbs was a frequent guest of the Earls of Clarendon and many of his works feature the horses on the estate.
• The Grove was the secret wartime HQ for the London, Midland & Scottish Railway. It was of great strategic importance and called “Project X”.
• The cast of Harry Potter stayed at The Grove whilst filming the most successful film series of all time at nearby Warner Bros Studios Leavesden.
• In 2006, The Grove welcomed the world’s top 64 players as part of the World Golf Championships, which was won by Tiger Woods.
• The Grove is a popular destination for sports teams and has welcomed international sides for football, rugby, cricket and the NFL.
THE ATHENAEUM
• To work on his movies, Steven Spielberg installed an edit suite in the adjoining apartment to his own and edited ET, First Encounters and Indiana Jones right there.
• During World War II, Winston Churchill used the disused tube station on Down Street as a secret bunker and requested that the Athenaeum provide all his meals.
• The 8-storey Living Wall at the front of the building contains more than 12,000 plants. It helps keep the hotel warm during the winter and cool during the summer!
• The Whisky Bar is home to over 300 types of whisky (and counting) – an unrivalled selection in London!
THE RUNNYMEDE
• The Runnymede-on-Thames has the UK’s only HotTug boat, if you fancy sailing down the river in a hot tub!
• The hotel is located on the meadows opposite where the “Magna Carta” or “The Great Charter” was signed on 15th June 1215. It’s the 800th Anniversary this year.
• The JFK Memorial is nearby; it’s a British memorial to the assassinated president and was jointly dedicated in May 1965, by Queen Elizabeth II and Jacqueline Kennedy, prior to a reception for the Kennedy family at Windsor Castle.
• Olympic welcome. On Bank Holiday Monday 25th August 2008, the Runnymede-on-Thames hosted Team GB’s homecoming following their most successful Olympics in 100 years.
