There are few things more exciting with venue inspections than driving along a stately tree-lined avenue and the anticipation of what’s at the end. Arriving at Pennyhill Park Hotel however can be a bit confusing; some Satnav systems may direct you to the deliveries entrance, as happened to the client I was meeting! You are first signposted to the Car Park, but it’s only a short, steep walk down to the hotel entrance, that’s unless you have a truly stunning motor in which case you are allowed to park in small area in front of the hotel. However, Pennyhill Park understands first impressions count, and there is a competent car valet service to take care of your wheels if you’ve left the Ferrari at home. 
Pennyhill Park Hotel & Spa is a luxury 5-star hotel, comprising of a combination of a beautiful ivy-clad manor house and at the rear a luxury spa and accommodation complex. Meeting rooms are attractive, light and airy and all have the latest technology. If you need a lot of breakout rooms this could be a problem – they’re not that many and not all meeting rooms are located in the same place. The bedrooms viewed were elegant, well appointed and the décor not too glitzy. Perhaps reflecting the fact that the hotel is home to England’s Rugby team during training for home internationals.
The jewel in Pennyhill’s crown is it’s staff – efficient, attentive and friendly, this more than anything confirms its luxury status. What would the VG consider Pennyhill Park Hotel & Spa for? Certainly, this venue’s aim is to attract those senior executive board meetings and it’s impressive enough for important customer events and incentives, plus, the Manor House makes a beautiful backdrop for weddings. Rates are high for run of the mill meetings and events but it’s ideal for smallish incentive groups. Following other top hotel trends, they’ve introduced a “Chef’s Table” or rather a “dine in the hotel kitchen experience” where you can watch chefs prepare your food order on TV screens – it gives a whole new meaning to TV dinners!Fast find facts - What is it?
