The Pros And Cons Of Utilising Guest Houses Vs Hotels For Conferences And Meetings

I am certain that readers may have some worthwhile input here talking about the pros

and cons of Guest Houses and B & Bs versus Hotels and Conference Centres for conferences, meetings and Bos Beraads We invite you to join a discussion.

Depending on the nature of the conference i.e. if it is designed to be light hearted with out strict boundaries or schedules, a Guest House or B & B is suitable mainly because they may perhaps impart an energy of quiet, relaxation and peace without any bounds bearing in mind that commonly Guest Houses or B & Bs do not have a dedicated conference venue (while there are those that do) and so they utilise their dining space for this purpose. For that reason, the days business can only realistically get started immediately after breakfast has been cleared, at around 9.30 or 10 a.m. However, you'd have the rest of the day to yourselves in this room as it is commonly the only meal these personal and private centres prepare.

Personal treatment is definitely assured in a Guest House or B & B, yours being likely to be the only function taking place on the day, thus you are likely to have exclusivity with no distractions unless of course the venue has grown into a substantial Guest House as some have providing in excess of one venue ideally they should be re-named Boutique Hotels or Lodges wouldnt you say? You're also likely to have home baked cookies for tea plus a lovingly planned home cooked lunch and the lady or lord of the manor will even attend to one's laundry with prior arrangements in most.

Hotels and Conference Centres on the other hand, are specifically, purpose built with conference in mind and have all the staff required to attend to all the tiny details. They will be well equipped with state-of-the-art conference equipment and teas and meals will be served in designated areas, or in their main restaurant, or they might offer you a finger lunch inside the venue as a working lunch, if time does not permit a lengthy break in the day. They can certainly be more flexible as they have the means to be so.

Hotels of course are most suitable where numbers are high and accommodation is required for all delegates, whereas a guest house or B & B in general is only ideal for the smaller events. Hotels will likely also have their own shuttle service for collections from the airport.

Room service will be an attraction in hotels as 4 and 5 star hotels usually offer 24 hour room service if delegates do not wish to dine in the restaurant on site or call for a snack or a drink late at night.

Hotel rooms are nearly always equipped with wall safes for your valuables; some offer self-catering facilities such as microwaves and fridges and are stocked with all required crockery. Many hotels will offer either self catering rates or Bed and Breakfast, or dinner, bed and breakfast while others do not offer self catering at all.

Depending on where you are, many hotels will offer business lounges with up-to-date internet facilities, and team building space, an additional venue for your gala event, private dinner or Break Away room and of course, the favourite meeting place at the end of the day the Pub.

There are those who prefer the home-from-home ambience of a Guest House or Bed and Breakfast which is certainly an attraction, while there are those who prefer the formal surroundings and the kind of service only a hotel can offer.

B & B rates are always more affordable while hotels, being in the position of being able to offer full service, will be more expensive.

I guess it depends entirely on the event the schedule you are working to the area you are in .. and most importantly, your own comfort and choice!!
