Cheltenham’s newest hotel the Express by Holiday Inn Cheltenham, is re-launching their brand to become the Holiday Inn Express Cheltenham in April.

To celebrate, the Cheltenham hotel have an exclusive offer for members of Business Pride and Cheltenham Chamber of Commerce, with some healthy discounts on conference facilities and accommodation costs to help local businesses alleviate the cost of the recession when planning a venue to entertain corporate clients.

For a full day in one of their meeting rooms, the price is just £175 (previously £250), and for an overnight stay with breakfast, prepaid rates start from £44, which offers members a saving of nearly 50% on the RRP.

Holiday Inn Express Sales and Marketing Manager Kimberley Hatherall explained that the new prices were designed to provide a partnership with Cheltenham business members and offer them value for money packages that can accommodate all their business needs.

“This is an exclusive offer for those Cheltenham Business Pride and Chamber of Commerce members only,” she said.

“With our re-launch, we wanted to share this success with the rest of the town and provide guests with just what they need when they are on the go. As well as the discounts being provided, we will be hosting select regular events where members can share ideas and exchange information. This is our way of trying to help our local business colleagues during these challenging times.”

Graham Philpot, economic development officer, said: ‘’Local businesses are always asking for a way to talk to and relate with each other because of the current economic climate, and we are therefore pleased to see the new Holiday Inn Express taking the lead with this agenda and passing on the savings that they have made to Business Pride members. These actions will enhance and benefit individual organisations, as well as the economy of the borough.’’
