From an intimate private 'summit' for four to a major event with 700 delegates and every number in between - Radisson Edwardian Hotels is in an unrivalled position when it comes to catering for every type and size of conference or meeting.

The 5-star Radisson Edwardian Heathrow has, for example, some of the largest banqueting and conference facilities in the London area and when it comes to size and amenities, is in the top 10 in the UK.

But it's not just size that puts Radisson Edwardian in a class of its own. Space is as versatile as numbers. A crystal chandeliered ballroom, an oak panelled boardroom or cutting-edge meeting rooms with sky-high views over the city - the choice is there.

The luxury hotel group has made its conferencing and banqueting business a byword in professionalism with the very latest in comfortable modern design and advanced communication technology, combined with the personal touch.

Explained Rob Gooder, General Manager, Conference & Banquetting: "Dedicated conference staff focus on key elements that ensure delegates and organisers are more than happy. We value getting to know the people who are organising the event so you can expect high levels of personal attention.  

"With Radisson Edwardian, excellent service can be taken for granted.  We have experts on hand for every type of event to provide real practical advice as well as creative ideas to make every event, however large or small, a success.  Above all, we aim to ensure your event at Radisson Edwardian is productive and worry-free."

With 10 outstanding locations in London, a luxury 5-star hotel in Manchester and the many times award-winner at Heathrow, Radisson Edwardian can offer every type of venue from discreet boutique hotel to grand celebrity destination for every type of occasion including exhibitions, product launches, press parties.
