Group accommodation

No matter what size of group or nature of the programme, we'd be delighted to assist! We work with all global hotel chains as well as many individual, privately owned hotels throughout Great Britain and therefore have something to suit all accommodation needs and budgets!

If you're planning for summer 2010, we strongly advise not to leave it too long with your requests, particularly in the more traditional hotspots such as Edinburgh, Cornwall and the South West, which are limited on availability and therefore prices are increasing. London is also proving very popular so if you're needing hotel space and/or any group related services, please contact Ian Fail, our groups manager, at ian@etsuk.com.

Hotel changes

We've a number of new hotels through the UK, particularly in London, Cornwall and throughout Scotland. Crerar Hotels have a number of new properties throughout the UK as do Q Hotels. Hilton have their first Double Tree hotel in Aberdeen and are looking roll out more across the UK. Despite the adverse economic outlook, occupancies are staying quite high primarily due to the weak pound and hotels in traditional hotspots such as Edinburgh and south west England remaining busy. In London, we've added some 30 new hotels to our portfolio and we now have well over 250 hotels under contract from budget to deluxe. Further hotel news to follow as and when. To request our Winter 2009 and Summer 2010 prices, please contact our contracts manager Monika Muslika on monika@etsuk.com.
