Wasps stars sneak in extra training at Hilton London Metropole’s King’s Suite

The Hilton London Metropole hotel in London saw popular London Wasps’ players, Steve Kefu and Richard Haughton, visit their large conference space for some extra training, in preparation for the upcoming St George’s Day Game versus Bath at Twickenham.

The rugby stars practiced in the Hotel’s West Wing conference centre, which boasts two large conference rooms; the Monarch and the King’s suites creating a combined capacity of up to 3200 delegates, theatre style. Wasps stars Steve Kefu and Richard Haughton took advantage of the vast 11,431sq ft space in the King’s Suite, which is usually used for large events that require a multi-purpose room with high-tech lighting and the latest technology.

The Hilton London Metropole has been the leader in the conferences and events market for many years now, with over 50 years of knowledge and experience in the organisation and deliverance of successful meetings and events. The Hilton London Metropole was awarded ‘Best meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Events Hotel’ in 2010 in the UK by Business Destinations Magazine.

Hilton Hotels has been a proud exclusive partner of the Premiership Rugby since 2008. The Aviva Premiership Rugby hopes to double the £50,000 raised last year for Help for Heroes at this year’s St George’s Day Game.

The Hilton London Metropole’s General Manager, Avner On, commented: "It was fantastic to have two rugby stars at the Hilton London Metropole, the King's Suite has hosted every imaginable occasion from a black tie dinner dance for 1,000 to a sales conference for 3,000, so it was very exciting to see it transformed into a rugby training group for the day."

The HBAA annual dinner at The Hilton London Metropole introduces new chairman Juliet Price

14 January 2011

The Hotel Booking Agents Association (HBAA) held its 12th Annual Dinner at the Hilton London Metropole’s King’s Suite, on Friday 14th January. The association, recognised as the primary source of expertise for the corporate MICE and travel professionals, also gave new chairman Juliet Price an opportunity to share her vision for 2011.

Setting the tone for the year ahead, Juliet outlined her key objectives for the year ahead to further drive membership of the association and encourage future talent in the industry. Juliet said: "With membership at an all time high in 2010 it is key that we continue to attract the talent of tomorrow. Just look around and see the professionalism that we have in this room, collectively we must continue to encourage the next generation to our sector of the business travel arena and thereby drive the industry forward."

The event drew together over 400 of the industry's leading hoteliers and agents and raised funds on behalf of the association's appointed charity, Lynn's Bowel Cancer Campaign. An online auction raised over £15k for the charity, which was founded by TV personality Lynn Faulds-Wood. The HBAA has supported the charity since 2003 and has collectively contributed with donations to the cause in excess of £150,000.

The themed dinner saw the King’s Suite at the Hilton London Metropole transformed into the glamour that is Las Vegas with casino tables, slot machines and the very special performance of Elvis Presley.
