This allows delegates to maximise their time on the show floor and minimise transportation stress.

The hotel's dedicated concierge team is on hand to coordinate private car arrangements for guests attending the motor show.

For groups of executives travelling together, the hotel can also arrange larger vehicles to ensure seamless group transfers. The concierge team is well-versed in the show's daily schedule and can help guests plan their itineraries, offering personalised recommendations on the best times to travel to and from the venue to avoid peak congestion. This level of attentive service allows guests to focus entirely on their business objectives at the show, leaving the logistics to the professionals.
