London is set to surpass Las Vegas in the number of hotel rooms, making the city a key leisure and business destination. There is some uncertainty about the number of hotel rooms available in London, but it is often reported that the city has more than 120,000 rooms.
Meetings, conferences, and exhibitions play an important part in the occupancy rate of hotel rooms. According to the International Passenger Survey, 5.1 million nights were spent by MICE visitors in 2022 alone.
The importance of hotels in the event industry stretches beyond offering accommodation to business travellers. Conference and event facilities in hotels are still a popular option among event organisers as they offer optimised logistics for several aspects of the event such as parking, accommodation, catering, infrastructure, and more.
Hotels are also attractive to event participants travelling to attend events on bleisure trips. Events held in hotels reduce commuting times to the event and allow attendees more free time to explore London.
Not all hotels in London have conference and meeting facilities, so we have outlined in this article the hotels in London with conference facilities available for hire.
