Today (8 February), INNSiDE by Meliá, part of the Meliá Hotels International group, is introducing a bespoke meetings package, allowing businesses to take advantage of the adaptable and creative meeting spaces at the brand’s Manchester, Liverpool, and Newcastle locations.
INNSiDE is a collection of balanced lifestyle hotels for work, play and wellbeing – and anything in between. Each INNSiDE hotel celebrates the culture of its unique location, enriched with music, art and wellness curated by the hotel’s local experts. Offering a sophisticated atmosphere and innovative design, the hotels come equipped with a collection of state-of-the-art meeting rooms.
To inspire the unconventional and help facilitate a new way of doing business, INNSiDE’s meeting spaces are full of smart ideas and sustainable touches, with multi-functional rooms that can flex to suit your needs. The open spaces include all the meeting essentials, along with integrated audio-visual equipment, high-speed Wi-Fi and air-conditioning.
The bespoke Meetings Made More package is designed for businesses and business travellers looking for convenience, comfort, and flexibility. Starting from £139 per person, the 24-hour package includes the use of the diverse meeting spaces and an overnight stay – allowing guests to tune in with the local culture and make the most of the hotel’s amenities. The package also incorporates an exclusive dining experience, with delegate lunch and refreshments, a three-course evening meal and breakfast included in the price. Individuals booking the Meetings Made More package for ten guests or more can also benefit by earning double Meliá Reward points on their Residential Meeting. Reward points can be saved up and put towards summer holidays, allowing guests to enjoy exclusive benefits, upgrades and discounts for personal stays.
As part of the hospitality partnership between INNSiDE by Meliá and Gino D’Acampo, Gino’s inspiring menus will flow into INNSiDE’s creative meeting and event spaces, providing a next-level food and beverage offering for guests using the meeting spaces, with menus curated by the UK’s favourite Italian Chef. The delegate meeting menu features tea and freshly brewed coffee on arrival, mid-morning coffee and cake, followed by a soup of the day, deli sandwiches and freshly prepared seasonal salads for lunch, with energising mid-afternoon drinks and snacks also provided.
In the evening, guests can enjoy an Italian-inspired three-course meal featuring Mushroom Arancine, Calamari, Tomato Bruschetta and Parma Ham Bruschetta to start. Mains include a Pumpkin & Ricotta Ravioli, Chicken Escalopes, Italian Style Cheeseburger, Capricciosa Pizza and a Marsala Pear, Parma Ham & Blue Cheese Salad. To conclude the meal, diners can indulge in a Chocolate Fondant, Affogato, Gelato or a Tiramisu, the ultimate Italian dessert.
Within each hotel, there is a range of meeting spaces to choose from that feature local design details and colourful creative touches. Each hotel boasts an INNSiDE original: Big Ideas Space – a bright, fresh and innovative meeting area; complete with comfy sofas and squidgy chairs, SMART screens and playful items to keep guests engaged and energised. Floor to ceiling windows, natural airflow in all spaces ensures that business meetings are never compromised.
INNSiDE Newcastle is located in the heart of the city on the historical Quayside, offering breath-taking views across the River Tyne. Situated a short distance from Newcastle Railway Station and Newcastle International Airport, the hotel offers five creative meeting spaces including The Keelmen Suite which can be divided into 3 separate sections to allow for smaller meetings or break-out sessions. The additional meeting spaces are a nod to local heroes of times gone by, including ‘The Hawks Room’ in homage to the Hawks company that constructed the striking High Level Bridge across the River Tyne.
Scott Brown, Director of Sales – UK North, from INNSiDE by Meliá, said: “Our bespoke meetings package offers business travellers something extra-special. Guests can move seamlessly from work to play, enjoying our state-of-the-art meeting rooms with catering provided by the fantastic team at our on-site Gino D’Acampo restaurants. With many businesses still taking a hybrid approach to work, the overnight stay is a brilliant opportunity for teams to socialise and reconnect in one of our stylish hotel bars.”
