3-star property: Hotel ibis London Earl's Court

4-star property: Novotel London Paddington, Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington

5-star property: St. James' Court Hotel, Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London

Hotels advantages for MICE

When considering the right hotel we look into a number of aspects and try to cater to a wider range of MICE activities, for small corporate meetings of 30 guests to international association conventions of 1,000 plus attendees. The essential points include accommodation on bed and breakfast basis, meals, seminar and conference space with good amenities.

Popular vendors

Some of the popular vendors that we work with are Europe Incoming, Worldwide DMC and Orchid DMC.

Entertainment in London

For delegates visiting London, popular activities include gala night dinners with 'Bollywood' themed entertainment or a ‘British-curry' in an Indian restaurant in the east end. Shopping trips to Carnaby Street or Harrods are normally on the list plus there is a wealth of sight-seeing opportunities to historic palaces and castles or enjoying the city on a cruise along the River Thames.

Tier-II cities for MICE

London is recognised as a fantastic destination to host world-class conferences and events. Other great destinations would be Manchester or Edinburgh in Scotland for those companies doing business in the region.

UK as a destination for MICE

From the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, London underwent vast advances to its MICE infrastructure. London surely is one of the world's biggest MICE destinations, offering over 1,000 locales for MICE events.
