Hotel Desk named in UK’s top 5 booking agents for meetings

From a small meeting for up to 5 delegates, to a large residential conference – Hotel Desk can find you a range of available options.

Meetings packages are usually quoted as a Daily Delegate Rate (DDR), and for residential meetings as a 24 hour rate. These can vary from venue to venue but typically include as a minimum:

  • Room hire
  • 2 or 3 tea and coffee servings
  • Delegate stationery
  • Water
  • Basic equipment – e.g. Flip chart and projector
  • Lunch

Extras such as parking, AV equipment, Wi-Fi, bedrooms upgrades etc can be included or negotiated into the rate by Hotel Desk.

For meetings of a shorter duration it is also possible to book a venue on a room hire basis only or half DDR.

Meeting room sizes can vary to hold different numbers with different layouts, although it is always more comfortable for delegates not to be at full capacity. Most venues with small to medium sized meeting rooms tend to have natural daylight and air conditioning

At Hotel Desk we can advise you upon the venues and individual meeting rooms that may suit your type and size of event and negotiate on your behalf discounted rates inclusive of value added extras.
