Brass, oak, leather, velvet, glass and marble have 

all been used to perfection in this hotel which is 

the pinnacle of luxury and synonymous with style 

and sophistication. Interior architects Goddard 

Littlefair definitely created a sense of grandeur at 

the Principal Edinburgh George Street. 

Design features continue throughout the seven 

flexible, stunning spaces available for corporate 

celebrations, conferences and meetings. 

The Library is located on the ground floor and seats 

up to 30 delegates for a boardroom style meeting. 

This stunning space has lots of natural daylight 

flowing through the arched windows. Oak 

panelled walls and a stunning plaster ceiling hint 

at the hotel's 18th century origins, while the WiFi 

is definitely 21st century with a superfast 

bandwidth of 100Mb! 

The impressive Kings Hall was originally a banking 

hall for the Caledonian Insurance Company. 

It seamlessly blends Victorian features with a 

contemporary, uncluttered high-end look where 

a keynote speech or company awards ceremony 

would be perfectly staged for up to 300 guests. 

For a spectacular penthouse meeting or private 

dining occasion, the 5th floor Forth View Suite is 

superb. Accommodating up to 18 delegates for a 

boardroom meeting or up to 50 guests attending 

a champagne reception, the suite and large 

outside terrace overlooks some of Edinburgh's 

iconic landmarks. 

Voted Conference Hotel of the Year 2018 and 

recognised by Conde Nast Traveller, Readers’ 

Choice Awards 2017, the Principal Edinburgh 

George Street is a top choice for events where 

impressions count.

Principal Edinburgh Charlotte Square sits perfectly 

positioned within walking distance of Edinburgh 

Castle, Princes Street and Holyrood Palace.

squares in New Town, which is a UNESCO world 

heritage site.

very best audio visual equipment. 

The Gallery is the largest space with the capacity

Head Chef at Mercure Southampton Centre Dolphin Hotel 

The Mercure Southampton Centre Dolphin Hotel 

is in the heart of the city and is Southampton’s 

oldest hotel, dating back over 500 years. The 

Grade II listed building hosted Jane Austen’s 

18th birthday and has ever since played 

an important role in the city’s history. 

It has recently undergone an extensive 

refurbishment programme that has 

blended modern convenience and 

comfort while staying true to the 

hotel’s history and heritage. 

Located within easy access to the 

city via the M3 junction 14, the 

hotel is less than a mile away from 

the Southampton cruise terminal. 

It features 99 bedrooms and three 

meeting rooms that are suitable for up 

to 100 delegates. It boasts a beautiful 

Signature Restaurant and Nelson’s Bar as 

well as free on-site parking and free WiFi. 

It’s also handy for Southampton train station 

and Southampton airport, which is only four 

and a half miles away. 

The restaurant forms an important part of 

the hotel, and its chef and his team have 

just launched a brand-new menu which 

showcases seasonal favourites, with British 

and international flavours added in. 

11

Tibor Suli has worked at the hotel for 

eight years. He tells us all about the 

new menu: 

“I’ve been a chef for over 22 years and was 

inspired to start my career by my mum who also 

used to be a chef. When I was younger I would 

help her in the kitchen in our home and spent a 

lot of time watching her create beautiful, tasty 

dishes. Ever since then I’ve had a passion for 

creating the best food possible and the new 

menu is a culmination of all my experiences, and 

my passion for producing delicious food to the 

highest standard." 

What inspired you when creating the 

new menu? 

“I take a lot of influence from seasonal products 

and I also like to create fusion dishes using new 

combinations. I constantly keep updated with 

the lastest food trends, keep a track of what the 

Michelin star and three rosette chefs are creating, 

whether it’s from their social media, their menus 

online and any television programmes they 

appear on and also through reading lots and lots 

of cook books.” 

12


13

How would you sum up your style? 

“My style is a combination of classic British with 

an international influence. So the menu has 

some of the British classics you would expect, 

alongside a number of dishes that are from 

around the world, especially France. I don’t 

have a specific signature dish because my tastes 

and skills are always evolving - I like to keep on 

looking at new ideas, flavours and ingredients. 

I think it’s good to constantly evolve and not 

rely on one specific dish.” 

How do you relax when you’re not in 

the kitchen? 

“My favourite thing to do is to watch movies 

- they provide escapism and take me away from 

the stress of running a busy kitchen! It can be 

rather hectic but we all love it and it’s great to 

see happy visitors at the end of their meal. I also 

love watching football, especially Arsenal, and 

playing any kind of sports or ball games. I do like 

an hour or two on my Xbox as well.”

This legendary Manchester venue regularly hosts

problem. The multi-purpose Exchange Hall is a large 

space with a capacity of 1,600 delegates. This can

Relevance 

From country mansion houses 

celebrating British heritage to city 

centre hotels showcasing urban chic, 

there are occasions when you want a 

room to steal the show, when beige 

and boring are banished and style 

and substance take centre stage. 

We believe when the art and science 

of a room comes together seamlessly, 

the scene is most definitely set for an 

event which impresses from the 

get-go.

London Marriott West India Quay 

Enter the lobby of the London Marriott 

West India Quay and you're greeted with 

sleek clean lines, warm wood tones and an 

abundance of fine features, including a double 

height glass atrium. Designed by American 

architects HOK, the landmark tower building was 

built to contrast with the surrounding Victorian 

warehouses of London's Docklands and with its 

elliptical slender shape, it resembles the curved 

hull of a boat. 

The 33-story hotel stands proud in its Canary 

Wharf address and offers a choice of 19 

top-end event spaces with a maximum capacity 

of 290 delegates, an executive lounge, health 

club and over 300 guest rooms. An artist in 

residence programme runs so guests and 

delegates can also view unique contemporary 

artworks displayed in the hotel. 

Meeting spaces are modern, with the latest in 

audio visual equipment. Many of the rooms 

have natural daylight and some have views over 

the River Thames but each space will impress. 

Particular favourites include the Teak Room 

which seats up to 26 delegates and has views 

over the quayside while The Gallery on the lower 

ground floor provides stunning semi-private 

space for working lunches and receptions for up 

to 180 guests. 

At the end of the day, a visit to the G&Tea Lounge 

is an absolute must! Over 180 gins, speciality 

drinks, nibbles and a superb afternoon tea are 

served in this premium space.

The Sculpture Gallery, Woburn Abbey 

For a dramatic setting, The Sculpture Gallery 

in the grounds of Woburn Abbey delivers 

exclusivity with elegance and sophistication. 

Designed and built in the late 1700s by Henry 

Holland for the fifth Duke of Bedford, the 

majestic property is surrounded by a 3,000 

acre deer park and overlooks a lake and private 

rose garden. 

For 170 years, it was home to The Three 

Graces, a marble figure group celebrated 

in classical art and literature. Housed in a 

neo-classical temple in The Sculpture Gallery, 

in a top lit rotunda with eight antique columns, 

the Graces presided in the magnificence of a 

miniature Pantheon. 

You won't see the marble figures today as they 

are now on display at the Victoria and Albert 

Museum in London but all the splendour and 

majesty of The Sculpture Gallery remains. 

It makes a superb choice of venue for exhibitions 

and product launches, as well as meetings, 

conferences and corporate celebrations for up to 

250 guests. There's an excellent event organiser 

to assist and superb in-house catering. 

With the picturesque gardens and parkland and 

dramatic event spaces, The Sculpture Gallery 

really is a vision both internally and externally, 

making it a top choice with many organisations. 

23

Ascot Racecourse 

A thoroughbred in the style stakes is Ascot 

Racecourse. A favourite with the Royal 

Family and known across the world, the 

famous grandstand has been the scene of 

many prestigious events held by multi-national 

corporations. Its also doubled as Shanghai 

Pudong International Airport in the James Bond 

movie Skyfall and had a crowd pleasing scene 

in My Fair Lady with Audrey Hepburn. 

The Grandstand has an impressive 300 unique 

meeting rooms, large dining venues and event 

space for up to 3,000 delegates. The Parade Ring 

Suite is the jewel in the crown. Welcoming up to 

400 guests it overlooks the magnificent Parade 

Ring, has floor to ceiling windows and its own 

private terrace. An integrated PA system and TVs 

for presentations are included and as well as 

providing an impressive and inspiring space for 

corporate meetings, it's equally at home hosting 

product launches and networking receptions. 

For a smaller gathering for up to 50 delegates, 

the Jockeys Weighing Room in the heart of the 

racecourse is unique. No less impressive are the 

single Private Boxes used for a boardroom style 

meeting. They're located in the Grandstand 

and are fitted with a 42" flat screen TV which 

is configured for data and DVD presentations 

and have the added bonus of a balcony and 

small kitchen. 

It goes without saying service is of a royal 

standard at this award-winning venue and dining 

is definitely a culinary affair to remember.

The Bridgewater Hall 

The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester has 

been designed to ensure the very best acoustics. 

Opened by Her Majesty The Queen in 1996, the 

building resembles a vast sculpture. It floats 

free of the ground on almost 300 earthquake 

proof isolation bearings so there's no rigid 

connection between the 22,500 ton building and 

its foundations, ensuring the Hall's acoustics are 

protected from outside noise and vibration. 

The tiered seating in the auditorium follows two 

well established designs, known as the shoebox 

and vineyard, and cleverly draws audiences 

into the stage. Taking centre stage is the Hall's 

magnificent Marcussen organ. With 5,500 pipes it 

completely covers the rear wall with a beautiful 

blend of wood and burnished metal. Hold an 

award ceremony or deliver company speeches 

to 2,400 colleagues and you'll find your event is 

perfectly in tune with the stylish auditorium. 

The Barborilli Room and Foyer is a showstopper 

too. Impressive high ceilings, stunning full length 

windows and modern décor welcome guests to 

exhibitions, conferences and lavish receptions 

or networking opportunities held in this bright 

event space. 

27

The London Edition 

We started in a stunning London lobby and 

we're going to finish in another one which often 

makes an appearance in the top 50 lobbies in 

the world! The London Edition welcomes 

with a triple height ceiling, a giant silver egg 

shaped orb centrally hung, marble columns and 

super chic furnishings. Its Basement nightclub 

provides an eclectic event space with custom 

lighting, a bar and state-of-the-art sound 

system. It's dynamic space for a private film 

screening, product launch or a fashion show. 

The Penthouse is special with its wrap-around 

terrace offering a 360 degree view of London. 

Large and with custom designed furniture, 

this private space is ideal for meetings and VIP 

events for up to 50 guests. 

Fine dining at The London Edition is a carefully 

crafted experience from Michelin-starred chef 

Jason Atherton. His Berners Tavern has become 

one of London's most sought-after restaurant 

reservations. Offering all day dining, the 

restaurant combines modern sophistication 

with historical charm to create an exciting 

space. There is also a dining room for up to 

14 guests above the restaurant which offers 

privacy for entertaining clients and celebrating 

company achievements.

Tuddenham Mill, the luxurious converted 

water mill near Newmarket, has been named 

Suffolk’s Best Restaurant for the third year 

running in the 2018/19 Good Food Guide. 

The Good Food Guide review explains:

village in an unremarkable part of East Anglia 

feel like an effortlessly lovely oasis. Come for 

refined food, but don't expect fluff or fuss: 

Lee Bye's style is rugged, unpretentious, 

un-compromisingly ingredient-led.” 

Chef Patron of Tuddenham Mill, Lee Bye, added: 

“We’re over the moon to be the highest rated 

restaurant in Suffolk by The Good Food Guide 

for a third year running. It really is a team 

effort. We’re very proud of the food we serve 

our guests and the special experience we

Head Chef Craig Atchinson, all combine 

seamlessly to create a special occasion that is 

long remembered. 

The Chairman’s Suite, Gibb and Leeman rooms 

can all be hired for a private dining party. 

Our favourite is the simple and stylish HQ 

which has wood panelling and a neutral 

palette, long drapes, an open fire place and 

comfortable seating for up to 34 guests. 

Start the festive celebrations with champagne 

and canapés followed with a lavish lunch 

chosen from the hotel’s carefully crafted 

menu. Choose two or three courses or opt for a 

decadent six-course tasting menu with optional 

wine pairing. Your private dining room will have 

festive decorations, crackers and place cards 

as well as a personalised menu.
