Nelson Hotels Cheshire

The three hotels owned and operated by the Nelson family have landed on top yet again and this is by no mistake. The refurbishment of the Bears Paw last year was a massive challenge not just in economic times but against the back drop of tourism figures dropping in the region. Cheshire is a location that attracts visitors from all walks of life due to the dynamic countryside and breath taking landscapes. Under the new Taste Cheshire accreditation scheme, Ciro’s Brasserie at the Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa, the Bear’s Paw and the Pheasant Inn have all been rated “Highest Quality Assured”, ...

Fullers Hotels

Fullers Hotels & Inns When a beer producer turns its attention to providing accommodation one may be excused for raising an eye brow if, that is you can perform such a trick. Fullers turned the business around many years ago when they started to display signs for the gentleman traveller. As history has it, during the rise of Fullers brewery and it's move into the Hotel business was nothing more than a natural progression. The mere fact they have been delivery top notch hotels services in both their hotels and inns over the last 50 years is testament to Fullers success. Fuller's ...

Heart of England Hotels with History

There is no doubt in my mind that staying in a hotel with historical value outweighs the alternative purpose built square hotels. The fact that we are lured to the likes of premier inns and travel lodges because of the price is just a trait in our human character, known as tightness or as some would say, the economical sense triat. Premier inns are not so common in the heart of England although their recently announced news to expand further across the UK and Europe means we are to expect more character hotels to be converted, like the Victoria Inn in Cornwall, ...

Hotels in Cornwall

Hotels in Cornwall vary wildly, namely because the purpose built hotels have not been possible. The various hotels in Cornwall were built hundreds of years ago. Some country inns were transformed into hotels during the early part of 1800 and have remained hotels. There are some fantastic old country houses along Helford Passage in Cornwall that make great retreats for the summer. Great news for people searching for hotels in Cornwall during the summer of 2010. There are more of them! Traditional country inns have sprung up from literally no where, why? Because of demand and an easy buck to be made ...

Hotels in Scotland & Yorkshire

Scotland and Yorkshire is undoubtedly the most visited places in the UK. Obvious reasons being the natural beauty. Because of the natural beauty designing hotels to fit the surrounds is a challenge and no wonder the best hotels get the best treatment. Not that they then provide the best treatment, let's not confuse the two! Crerar Hotels have nearly a dozen hotels in this part of the UK and because they have chosen to remain in this region it's no wonder their hotels have become synonymous with living with nature. the natural surrounds blend into the hotels and not the other ...

UK Hotels – Conference Venues

Stop Press! UK conference venues are experiencing an upturn. Economic growth anticipated for 2010 has inspired businesses to present their portfolio in some of the lesser known establishments. Not just award ceremonies but business seminars are filling up Hotels usually catering for accommodation. The Holiday Inn once renowned for it's prestigious establishments and famed for extravagance took a plunge when introducing the budget range of Hotels. Now however, Holiday Inns after spending millions on makeovers have emerged from the ashes to shine the touch for hotels offering conference facilities. Plus their Holiday Inn express places to stay across the UK cater for the ...

Conference Hotels (Event Organisers)

We were recently asked by a leading Hotel Group to survey the event management organisation. Primarily their concern was to be able to offer value for money whilst maintaining their high standards of conference facilities. Yes, we are talking about conference facilities that do not get any better. However, as we all know the better the service the more we pay. So, during the tough times we were tasked with helping both sides understand the real needs of conferencing in the 21st century. What we found was we are not really that different to how we were 20 years ago! The ...

Conference Hotels (Event Organisers)

So, during the tough times we were tasked with helping both sides understand the real needs of conferencing in the 21st century. What we found was we are not really that different to how we were 20 years ago! The City of London may want to loose the grey suits appearance but just by changing from one colour to another isn’t really going to change peoples perception!

What’s the analogy here you may wonder. We’ll it’s simple. Flip chart or laser projectors with red dots? Handouts or emails. Technology has changed the way we communicate but it’s made communicating expensive. In truth we can only hear and see so many things and if we want magic as opposed to real business figure the place to be is the theatre!

Attending conferences has become expense yet it’s imperative we meet up and discuss business.

If all we need is a place of convenience why are we being charged an arm and leg. This was what we heard from business, this is what the Hotel Group wanted to drill down into.

Hotels now have expensive technology inhouse and when it’s not there the event organisers feel they have to buy it in and ‘sell it’. Time to re-position say the Hotels, back to basics is the mantra.

Good decor, great service and good food. And affordable prices!

This would be very useful for me too, we’re trying to organise a pre wedding get together and can’t find affordable venues. We assumed the downturn would bring down prices but they seem to be going up!
