The Crowne Plaza Newcastle has launched a new offer for meetings and events planners, as it welcomes complete venue buy outs of the hotel on an exclusive-use basis.
Increasingly rare in the venue market, the buyout offers planners a safe, flexible and seamless experience with an elite personable team, and a chance to easily visit the Northeast and the vibrant city of Newcastle in style. The offer means sole access to all bedrooms, function spaces, lounges, dining areas and breakout zones, creating a fully branded office, meeting facility and residence for guests.
The benefits for planners are wide-ranging. Complete access provides total privacy and security, ensuring delegates can focus on the programme without distractions. It also unlocks extensive branding opportunities, with every corner of the hotel able to carry the client’s identity, from the lobby welcome to the main plenary stage. Because all delegates stay on-site, downtime is fully contained within the hotel environment, making networking and casual connection much easier to achieve.
At the same time, the event becomes the sole concern of the team at the Crowne Plaza Newcastle, one of the friendliest and proactive around, and one that loves looking after event planners and their delegates.
Inside, the hotel offers an impressive balance of large-scale event capability and more intimate, flexible spaces. The Stephenson Suite is the showpiece, able to accommodate up to 300 cabaret style, and easily turned around for conferences, dinners and awards. It also features a collection of breakout rooms, creative pods and boardrooms, giving organisers the freedom to mix formal sessions with collaborative workshops. A mezzanine level, executive lounge and a series of relaxed coffee lounges add further choice for one-to-one conversations, impromptu gatherings or casual receptions.
With 251 guestrooms, Crowne Plaza Newcastle also ensures every residential delegate can be comfortably accommodated under one roof. The hotel’s restaurant and bar complete the offer, providing yet more space for networking and socialising.
“This is a hotel made for events, that loves events, and that welcomes event planners and their delegates,” said Paul Borg, General Manager, Crowne Plaza Newcastle. “By offering Full Venue Buy-Outs, we’re giving planners the flexibility to completely personalise the experience, from conference branding to residential arrangements, all within one exceptional venue.”
The offer also allows event planners the perfect way to easily access the North East and the city of Newcastle, easy to reach by road, rail and air from across the UK and beyond. The property has an ideal proximity to Newcastle, a short walk from the station, and with links to the city’s airport and the UK road network,
Full Venue Buy-Out bookings are available now, and the team at Crowne Plaza Newcastle is inviting planners and agencies to get in touch to discuss proposals, arrange site visits and explore how the hotel can be tailored to their needs.
