There is an abundance of natural daylight with windows on 3 sides of the room, whilst access to the nearby Motoring Exhibition is very easy. The room inter-connects to both the Napier room and the Members bar and is where evening entertainment takes place.
The Members Bar is a beautiful room with Art Deco features and is a room which is perfect for drinks receptions, small family gatherings, afternoon tea and even a syndicate room for corporate meetings.

Have a virtual flight and watch a video of Concorde flying at speed at high altitude to relive the feeling of grandeur! Sip Champagne on board to enhance the occasion - how decadent!
Or get married on board for an extra special occasion! 30 of your friends and family can sit in the front cabin whilst you say 'I do' , with standing room for a further 28 guests in the rear cabin.

Hilton Birmingham Metropole is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2026 with a year-long programme of “50 Acts of Kindness”, bringing together staff, guests and the local community through a series of thoughtful gestures, wellbeing initiatives and fundraising activities. The landmark anniversary provides an opportunity for the hotel – one of the UK’s largest residential conference and events venues – to reflect on five decades of hospitality while giving something back to the people who help make it such a vibrant hub for meetings, events and travel. The initiative began in January with a focus on team wellbeing offering staff the chance to take part in Reiki sessions on Blue Monday. In February, the focus shifted to guests, with a series of surprise treats designed to enhance their stay. To celebrate Valentine’s Day, the hotel gave out 50 red roses to guests checking in, creating a memorable welcome for visitors arriving at the property. Guests checking in throughout the month were also invited to take part in a scratch card giveaway, with each guest receiving a card and the chance to win one of 50 prizes, such as cocktail experiences, complimentary suite upgrades and champagne. Looking ahead, the anniversary celebrations will also include a significant fundraising challenge. In June, members of the Hilton Birmingham Metropole team will take on a 50km hike in the Lake District, raising money for charity as part of the 50th anniversary programme. The initiative will also extend beyond the hotel itself. In the coming months, team members will be heading out into the local community to deliver a number of community-led projects, including volunteering at local charity Birmingham Dogs Home in April, helping to spread the spirit of the “50 Acts of Kindness” campaign more widely. Nicola Betley, General Manager for Hilton Birmingham Metropole said:“Celebrating 50 years is an important milestone for the hotel and a moment to recognise the people who have helped shape our journey – from our team members to our guests and the local community. Our ‘50 Acts of Kindness’ initiative is about creating positive moments, whether that’s supporting the wellbeing of our team, surprising guests with thoughtful gestures or giving back through charity and community projects. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate our anniversary while reinforcing the values that sit at the heart of hospitality.” The programme will continue throughout the year with further acts of kindness planned, reflecting Hilton Birmingham Metropole’s ongoing commitment to people, community and creating memorable experiences for guests and event organisers alike.

Corporate event planners are increasingly prioritising experience-led ‘social-ready’ venues that do more than host meetings, according to Royal Windsor Racecourse, part of YourVenue, which represents 16 UK racecourses.Planners are seeking locations that provide shareable, Instagram-worthy moments and enhance delegate engagement — a trend that has shaped enquiries at Royal Windsor Racecourse.“Planners aren’t just booking a space anymore,” says Julie Coates-Walker, Group Head of Sales at Arena Racing Company (ARC). “They want venues that create built-in content opportunities — from striking arrival experiences to visually engaging settings and experiences.”At Royal Windsor, enquiries and bookings are being driven by its unique boat arrival on the Thames, creating a dramatic first impression for delegates, as well as its on-site pub — now known as the Fitzdares Arms, following its refurbishment for a Marvel film and current sponsorship by Fitzdares — which provides a distinctive hospitality setting that sparks conversation and social engagement.The venue’s wider infrastructure further enhances the experience, with Airstreams offering street food and container bars serving bespoke cocktails — all designed to create vibrant, highly Instagrammable moments for guests.“With summer bookings on the rise, planners are increasingly seeking venues that combine wow-factor, social amplification, and experiential programming,” says Julie. “Royal Windsor Racecourse is a prime example of this emerging trend.”Jimmy Wallace , Executive Director, Windsor Racecourse, adds: “Our clients increasingly want experiences that inspire delegates and create content naturally. Royal Windsor Racecourse’s combination of riverside views, heritage, and immersive elements like the Fitzdares Arms and our food and drink offerings allow us to deliver that — creating memorable events that stand out.”Julie concludes: “We are seeing this demand across all of our racecourses nationwide. With each venue offering large-scale, distinctive, and outdoor spaces for conferences, meetings, summer parties, exhibitions, team-building exercises, and corporate hospitality, we can support planners in delivering immersive, content-rich events.”
