Continuous service since 1988 – there have been many operating challenges since the end of the pandemic in 2021. With venue admin colleagues often working from home with varying hours, replies are sometimes answered out of the normal working times of 9-5. With telephones being answered less often the transformative ways of working with just as much speed is how we help our clients simplify the process of getting meeting space booked and confirmed.

(*Group sizes – 10 plus delegates for one day to 5 day residential meetings)

London added close to 7,000 bedrooms between 2017 and Q1 2018 – Our venue finding service acts as the differentiator –

Since 2019, the London hotel market has seen significant growth in supply. Currently, there are approximately 140,000 hotel rooms across nearly 1,500 properties in London. Notably, there are 128 new hotel projects in the pipeline, which are expected to add nearly 17,000 rooms to the market by 2028. This represents an increase of about 11.8% from the current supply

In 2018 – 1. New York, followed by 2. Geneva, 3. Zurich, 4. Paris, 5. Washington and Monaco, and London* dropping to sixth place due to strong currency fluctuations, healthy new supply, extreme weather, and Brexit – resulting in a 4.8% decline in average occupancy.

In 2024 – these two cities ranked 5th. Zurich and 6th. San Francisco

Reflecting rising costs post-pandemic and significant inflation affecting travel expenses globally​ – positions can change rapidly with fluctuating currency movements*.

The 18 hours of darkness during this time of year presents unique opportunities. This famous destination is bustling with activity, offering an array of winter experiences just half an hour from the city centre. 

Outlook

Safety, ease of access, and high standards, with prices that reflect quality of service – these are key selling points.

Base factors come down to number of square meters, local property prices, and popularity of location. Big events, amenities and levels of service are the “ups” of influencing price.

Ask us. It is a question we are asked a lot, and with our experience it is one we like answering with the options of having your meeting held in a luxury tent in a remote spot, or on a luxury yacht; whatever you choses that is safe is all possible. Before we start working on anything we take a complete brief as part of our Bonze Service asking you for your preferred location, style, and content, and have it arranged quickly to suit you, with just a few additional questions to complete the picture, to fulfil your desire to have satisfied delegates and guests. We like giving our clients “choice” with great results and will require your full details:- name title, company name, location, email, contact telephone numbers and any past event information to help us fulfil your request.

There are so many items that get posted to a conference bill. We have become used to checking and scrutinizing the ones that sometimes get overlooked, helping clients save money and time, and in so doing helping venues present clearer, more transparent bills that our clients can understand.
