Real Time Booking Process Revolutionises Hotel Meeting Room Market

September 09, 2013 // Franchising.com // Premier Inn, the largest meeting room provider in the UK hotels market, today announces the launch of a brand new meeting space offering that will be rolled out across the UK from today.

Premier Meetings will be the first hotel meetings product in the world to provide a real time booking and payment process to enable businesses to efficiently book a meeting room from the 290 available in 80 Premier Inn hotels across the UK.

Premier Meetings will be available from Glasgow to Bournemouth and at all major UK airports. Premier Meeting rooms range from accommodating four people Boardroom style to the largest room at the Premier Inn Bournemouth, which will accommodate 400 people theatre style. Two thirds of all Premier Meeting rooms can accommodate theatre style for ten people or more.

Premier Meetings aims to simplify the booking process dramatically as businesses can set their basic search terms to instantly see all meeting rooms available on their chosen date/s, room dimensions and specifications, menu choices and, most importantly, the price. Day delegate rates start from as little as £15 and include free Wi-Fi, mineral water, and Premier Meetings jotter and pen.

The revolutionary new Premier Meetings system will take on average just 3 minutes to find, book and pay for a meeting room compared to the lengthy submission processes that are common throughout the industry.

John Forrest, Chief Operating Officer at Premier Inn said:

"At Premier Inn we have millions of business customers and we’re always looking at ways to make their life easier. This unique real time booking system sets us apart from any other hotel meeting space provider. It could potentially save a business hours of time and resource as they can now find and book the meeting room they need at the click of a mouse”
