Hot on the trend of all things new, micebook treated a group of 50 planners to the first MICE industry preview of London’s newest luxury opening last week – the stunning Belmond Cadogan Hotel.

We teamed up with Belmond to host the event, which saw representatives from agencies including Black Tomato Agency, BCD Meetings & Events, Brands at Work, Pure Events, McKinsey & Company and Imagination along with several micebook partners, enjoy a sneak preview of Belmond’s first London property ahead of its official opening this week.

The hotel’s general manager Klaus Kabelitz welcomed guests, who were then taken in groups on a tour of the historic property – once home to British-American socialite Lillie Langtry and the location for the arrest of playwright Oscar Wilde in 1895.

Guests also enjoyed delicious canapes created by revered executive chef Adam Handling, who heads up the property’s new restaurant, which is focused on providing exceptional modern British cuisine.

Belmond Cadogan is located on London’s prestigious Sloane Street and has been fully renovated as part of a £28m investment project. Its 54 rooms and suites and gourmet restaurant reflect the hotel’s rich heritage, creating a stylish retreat for luxury travellers and small meeting and incentive groups alike.
