Hotel Republic, the UK representatives of SANA Hotels, gave an invited group a memorable taste of Portugal’s capital. Michelle Chenery reports
It took only 2hrs 30mins from London Heathrow to Lisbon on one of TAP Portugal’s 38 direct flights a week. Abreu, the DMC handling our itinerary, welcomed us and in a short time we were benefiting from an early check-in at the Myriad by SANA Hotels. Whilst enjoying a welcome drink we signed our forms and were asked to select from a bunch of room keys. It was then we learned that one of us had been lucky enough to have picked the key to the Penthouse Suite. We all appreciated this generous gesture by the hotel.

Michelle Chenery visits Liege and Spa in Wallonia

I still find it hard to believe the range of activities, cuisine and hospitality that we enjoyed in so short a time. As guests of the Brussels-Wallonia section of the Belgian Tourist Office and their associates, we were invited to whizz under the English Channel on Eurostar and, via the Midi Station in Brussels, to Liege. There it was just a short walk from the station to the Crowne Plaza Liege, our hotel for the first night.

Micest Event at Leeds Castle

ANTOR and ITCM hosted a fun gathering

Leeds Castle has it all – and the guests at the ANTOR-ITCM MICE Event enjoyed all it has to offer. If you close your eyes and imagine what a fairytale castle should look like, then you will probably be seeing Leeds Castle. Founded as a Norman fortress in the 11thC, it illustrates additions and improvements over a 1,000-year period. Yes, it has modern amenities to make delegates feel comfortable, but it also has retained the most worthwhile features that create very fond memories of a visit there.

Michelle Chenery reports on a Fam Trip to see much more than a theme park

PortAventura has so many facilities for every kind of business event that all organisers should make sure they are familiar with it. Just an hour from Barcelona, it offers Spanish sunshine, access through a key international airport, the wonders of a great theme park, a choice of hotels, golf courses and a wide range of conference spaces.
