ExCeL London completes six-figure refurbishment of Platinum Suite

ExCeL London has completed a major refurbishment of its self-contained Platinum Suite conference centre, andmanagement says market demand for internal meeting spaces continues to see an upturn. Catering for up to 1,100 delegates, ExCeL’s Platinum Suite is split across three levels and specifically designed for meetings, AGMs, gala dinners, product launches and award ceremonies. The six-figure transformation has created a fresh look with new lighting features and enhanced planting. The design team also worked with UK artist Liam Roberts to help dress some of the rooms. ExCeL’s executive director of conference & events James Rees commented: “Prior to the pandemic, the importance of internal meetings was perhaps considered secondary by some organisations. But now we are seeing a notable shift in priorities, with internal meetings expected to see the biggest percentage increase this year at 4.5% globally. “For ExCeL, the refurbishment of the Platinum Suite allows us to further enhance our offering in this sector combined with factors such as being just 12 minutes from central London thanks to the new Elizabeth line – and three minutes from Canary Wharf.” MD of Clarion Gaming Stuart Hunter, who recently used the Platinum Suite as part of its ICE London event, said: “We have a long and successful history of hosting events at ExCeL where its variety and flexibility of space is one of its greatest assets. The refurbished Platinum Suite was an obvious choice for us and provides a bespoke and intimate setting that perfectly complements and works seamlessly with the rest of the venue.” For more information on ExCeL and its Platinum Suite visit here.
