Ahead of it being the venue of the 20th Anniversary of Hotel Summit next month, the Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted unveils fully refurbished meeting and event spaces…

Located just 500m from Stansted Airport and a short walk from the new Stansted Arrivals building launching in 2020, Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted blends sophisticated design within its newly refurbished modern meeting facilities.

Following a £660k investment in the meetings & events facilities as part of a wider £6 million project, the hotel is now home to the largest meeting and event space in the area. Interior Design firm Trevillion were appointed to create a contemporary interior solution to meet the high demands of today’s corporate clientele. “Our scheme delivers a crisp colour palate, integrating “lifestyle” breakout facilities all conducive to today’s business community,” says Frances Blackham, design director at Trevillion.

“The simple furnishings and detailing is embellished with art inspired by the hotels identity as part of the London Stansted environment,” added Blackham.

Modifications have been made to the main ballroom space known as the Essex Suite, increasing its capacity to 350 people for dinner and 600 for theatre style presentations. In addition, there are now two new spaces dedicated to meeting breaks, offering fully furnished networking spaces.

A retractable wall and mobile bar allow convenient flexibility in the standard meetings rooms and rooms may be configured dependent on the client’s needs and meeting specifications.

All meeting rooms have been upgraded with high quality wireless internet and new tables and chairs. The larger meeting rooms also feature advanced Barco Clickshare systems. With a focus on allowing natural light to enter the space, the spacious and intelligent meeting rooms are the ideal location for business meetings and even themed leisure events.

The now sold out Hotel Summit takes place on June 4 to 5, 2018.

If you are a hotelier and would like to attend the 20th anniversary of the Hotel Summit, there are still limited spaces available on first serve basis.
