Arora Hotels to Showcase Expanded UK Meetings & Events Proposition at The Meetings Show 2016
Arora Hotels, a division of the Arora Group, will launch its ‘Arora Village’ showcase for the first time at The Meetings Show 2016, unveiling its 2,300,000 sqft+ portfolio of eight hotels to the UK meetings and events market.
With an internationally recognised portfolio of hotels, Arora comprises some of the UK’s finest large-scale hotels for the M&E market, including Sofitel London Heathrow, Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel, Sofitel London Gatwick and London’s largest new luxury event venue, InterContinental London – The O2.
Launched in January 2016, the 453-room InterContinental London – The O2, is home to a dedicated 4,500sqm conference centre with one of the single largest pillar-free ballrooms in Europe. Designed with large-scale meetings in mind, the Arora Ballroom, at 3,100sqm, can accommodate over 2,000 delegates for a huge theatre-style event and in addition has 1,600sqm pre-function space offering uninterrupted views of Canary Wharf and 400sqm of marquee space outdoors for pre-event receptions overlooking the River Thames.
At The Meetings Show, InterContinental London – The O2 will be featured with Arora’s other key M&E hotels located across London and the South East, providing an impressive showcase of 120 individual event spaces to the UK and international meetings market, under award-winning management expertise.
Raj Shah, Commercial Director comments, “The meetings market has always been front of mind for Arora when launching new hotels and collaborations, and we are proud to operate under globally recognised flags of excellence with a local management expertise that our clients trust. It’s a delivery that encourages clients to move around the group to hold multiple events across the portfolio and The Meetings Show is the ideal platform to communicate that opportunity and connect with new audiences.”
Raj continues, “Our new InterContinental London – The O2 has added a colossal amount of function space to the capital and perfectly complements our existing meetings and events proposition, so we’re delighted to showcase the space, as part of our extensive portfolio, here today.”
