MEETINGS & BANQUETS: Most companies make promises to conference specialists and their clients. The difference with Rocco Forte Hotels is that my name is over the door and I am making the promise personally.

If you are pleased with the way our hotels deliver my promises, let me know so that I can thank and reward those involved. Everyone slips up occasionally. If one of our hotels does so, let me know and I will investigate it personally for you.

We are pleased to introduce the concept of wellbeing as an essential and integral part of today's conferences and business meetings, designed to help ease the tensions sometimes associated with organising and/or participating in events.

Trained therapists from our spa can administer five-minute treatments, such as head, neck and shoulder massages, during conference breaks. These can also be supplemented with additional treatments from those available in our spa.
