Hotel group Melia Hotels International has revealed it is to enter Newcastle with a second property in the UK under its contemporary city centre Innside by Melia brand. The property is due to open in 2019
The hotel will have 160 bedrooms and suites and will be developed in a vacant office building on the banks of the River Tyne.
Other highlights include a new 30-seat executive boardroom; a new 28-seat cinema; walled gardens; walking trails; and onsite activities such as falconry, archery, cycling, fishing, and an Irish gundog experience during which guests can interact with the manor’s resident Irish Labradors.
The manor, the restoration of which was the largest project of its kind in Ireland’s history, is set on 842 acres, and includes a total of 104 guest rooms. New additions include a 42-bedroom wing and a 4,800-square-foot grand ballroom for groups of 350; both of which are clad in limestone to honour the detail of the original Manor House — as well as an 18-hole, par-72 golf course designed by renowned golf course architect Tom Fazio, four food-and-beverage outlets, and a spa with five treatment rooms, a nail salon, a fitness centre, and a plunge pool.

Ireland has no shortage of breath-taking sights. One of the most beautiful has long been Adare Manor in County Limerick. Commissioned in the 1830s by the 2nd Earl of Dunraven — who wanted to transform his personal home into an architectural opus modelled after Europe’s great houses and cathedrals — it has been a five-star hotel since the 1980s. Three decades later, the historic castle has reopened as a luxury resort following a two-year restoration and expansion, its owners announced last week.

The 334-room Principal London will transform the former Hotel Russell: a Grade II listed building which is located in Russell Square in Bloomsbury. The hotel is steeped in history and will offer a variety of spaces for drinking, dining and partying that will be distinct from each other and unique in their offering.
At the very heart of the hotel will be the magnificently restored Palm Court; which will sit alongside the Principal London’s grand, listed ballroom.
The Principal London is the latest opening from the hotel group, Principal, with recent openings in Edinburgh, Manchester and York following the sensitive restoration of historic hotels.
Be as flexible as possible in your choice of location and always consider the world outside of the MICE industry and events that may impact on the availability of bedrooms and space available in given months. We are all aware that holding a residential conference in South London during Wimbledon will be pricy, but there are many other one-off events that could impact on room availability too. Do your research and find out before you become set on your dates. Consider your chosen location, and how important it is to the success of the event: the West End of London may be an exciting and vibrant setting but it’s far more expensive than Watford so consider if location is a key factor for you or if economies could be made.
Larger event spaces tend to be booked ahead, so longer lead times will mean that you will have more venue options available to you, and therefore be able to better negotiate. Smaller events, say a boardroom for five, are easier to book because most venues have several small spaces that can accommodate this number. Leaving smaller events to the last minute may attract a better ‘last minute’ rate.

Travel time and money can be a costly part of an event’s budget. Consider your options and whether a series of events across the country would be more time and cost effective than one huge national conference.

Demonstrate that you are a professional in your field rather than an amateur – amateurs cost hotels money and can be risky business. Show that your business is good for the venue and make it desirable for them. Build relationships with your venues, look at a long term relationship with both the venue and the venue group and review your overall buying position; is your buying spread over lots of venues or is it streamlined to a few suppliers, making you a big fish in their pond and therefore more attractive to them? Would a three-year contract bring the price down?

There are ways in which an organiser or venue finder can obtain a better deal. Start by being aware of the market the hotel or venue is in and how important your type of business is to them. To a venue not all business is good business and so they need to match the right business at the right price at the right time. Find out what business is good business to them. When we conduct a site visit, we always ask a venue what their ideal size and type of event is and if they prefer day delegates or residential events. This ensures we can better match a venue to our clients’ events and create the ideal partnership that works for all parties.

Many organisers will look to save money by negotiating with their venues, but it’s not a straightforward process because hotels and venues are now in the driving seat. They have a more scientific approach to their pricing policies and more resilience too. Space will be managed more tightly with minimum numbers per room stricter than they may have been in the past. Contracts are becoming more rigid with less room for negotiation.
