Making a pitch can be a pretty nerve-racking experience. After all, a successful pitch serves to galvanise your company’s reputation and can open you up to new business deals and exciting ventures. And a bad pitch…well, a bad pitch is quickly forgotten. So how to ensure your presentation is firmly lodged in your clients’ retina long after the final Powerpoint slide? Preparation is important. Good delivery is vital. But don’t overlook the setting.

 

The right meeting room helps to set the tone for the whole event. Not to mention, a quietly sophisticated space assures your audience that the company is doing well. All before you open your mouth. And if people are plied with delicious pastries and piping-hot coffee they just might be more receptive to whatever you’re selling.

 

At Simplexity, our corporate travel experts are adept at finding the right meeting room to suit your business needs. Here is our guide to four very distinctive event spaces in four different parts of the world.

 

meeting rooms

 

The Corinthia Hotel is located in the very heart of London right by Embankment station within view of the Thames. And every cornice, every window, every inch of the ornate façade oozes old-school British glamour. The meeting and conference rooms are no less impressive. Elegant rooms with beautiful art and soft lighting are equipped with all the essentials – wifi, refreshments, stationery. Plus, bend-over-backwards service is there to help you at every turn.

 

 

Meeting room Ace hotel

 

Is your company less stuffy-boardroom and restrictive-suits and more exposed-brick-warehouse and tartan shirts? Then your chosen meeting room should illustrate this. Everything should tie back to the personality of your business. You can’t get much more hipster than the Ace Hotel in New York City. Their meeting space is beautifully designed and features carefully curated pieces. Scandi-looking chairs? Check. Retro Smeg fridge? Check. Plus food is rustled up by the on-site Michelin-starred restaurant. Nice.

 

 

 

Berlin has now firmly established itself as a real creative hub in Europe. Good transport links between other major European cities make this a great place to do business. The Kudamm 101 Hotel is one for the minimalists. Think clean lines, sparse décor and a subdued colour palette. The kind of space that will let your ideas do all the talking.

 

 

 

The Standard Hotel is kitted out with everything you could possibly need to deliver a career-defining presentation. Breakout room, coffee, pastries. And, better yet, when things go very well indeed (which we have every confidence they will) there is plenty of scope for celebrating. Rooftop pool, firepit, beer garden anyone? Now, that’s the business.
