Events & Venues were visited by a Millennium Hotels rep recently. We can now report the following updates:
* Millennium Gloucester Hotel & Conference Centre – this 4 star deluxe property has been refurbished throughout recently.
* Both the Millennium Gloucester and Baileys Hotels are situated in the Kensington area of London, outside the congestion zone
* Copthorne Tara – this property has seen a £2.8m spend. Bedrooms are updated and include flat screen TV and wi-fi
* Millennium Mayfair – £100m is planned for next year, upgrading this property to a 5 star
There are good meeting rates available in London as most of their hotels have large conference facilities.
Millennium Hotels are a Singapore owned group so there is money to spare.

HERMIONE MILLER:
Born: 05/05/2000 Country of Birth: Peru
I travelled from Peru in the hope that my one true love would be happy to see me. He gave me a very hard stare, which made me go very red and put me off my marmalada sandwiches. I have since given up on love and become a recluse shunning all publicity and eating my weight in chocolate.
