Major renovation now complete.

The Renaissance Heathrow has recently completed its long awaited and extensive £2 million plus renovation. The hotel is now a much brighter, contemporary version of its former self. Space has been used wisely in creating a funky exciting bar concept visible from the lobby. Colour changing lighting to the bar acts as a beacon which has a real draw. Curved seating alcoves upholstered in rich leathers to the ceiling with ultra contemporary, but strangely retro globe pendant lights, the whole bar and restaurant area has created a sixties poptastic vibe.

Exclusively Green Conferencing.

Exclusive Hotels have been working hard to keep their carbon footprint as low as possible by various green initiatives throughout the properties. Purchasing energy from renewable sources, effective energy management, recycling targets, sourcing recycled, biodegradable or local products where appropriate, and ensuring food miles are kept to a minimum.

Exclusive Hotels are in no doubt that bookers are placing environmental impact high on their priority list when considering venues and therefore, working with The CarbonNeutral Company, have ascertained that a residential delegate would cost only £0.80 and a day delegate £0.60 to become carbon neutral. Exclusive Hotels will be happy to match your donation like for like to ensure your CarbonNeutral® Conference
