A £2.5million expansion is planned at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Lincoln. The plans include an additional 39 bedrooms and a new conference and banqueting suite.

The investment will create a new bedroom wing on land at the rear of the hotel. It will take the total number of bedrooms at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Lincoln to 154.  

The existing ballroom will be extended to accommodate up to 350 guests for dinner. An additional conference and banqueting suite is planned on the 4th floor with a skyline terrace with views across to Lincoln Castle and Lincoln Cathedral.

The expansion plans are currently before the City of Lincoln’s planning committee.

As well as the Cathedral Ballroom, the hotel has two smaller flexible meeting rooms seating 110 and 100 delegates theatre style, both of which will subdivide into two self-contained rooms - with natural daylight and complimentary wi-fi access.

Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Lincoln is less than a mile from Lincoln Central station.

Andaz London Liverpool Street has just introduced ‘SpacetoStartup’. The hotel is opening its doors to a number of startup businesses, offering them event spaces.

A growing number of successful startups were launched as side-projects, worked on when their founders weren’t at their day jobs.

Like many busy metropolitan cities, London has a shortage of comfortable, affordable and quiet spaces for entrepreneurs and their teams to meet, especially after work.

Andaz London Liverpool Street has recognised this issue and formulated a plan to address this demand.

This month Andaz London Liverpool Street will be offering their meeting rooms as exclusive and flexible workspaces, which are only available in the evenings after work; giving startup businesses a chance for growth and success.

With a membership to SpacetoStartup, teams can use the space to meet, code and brainstorm from 6.00pm till 10.00pm every week night.

Andaz London Liverpool Street is just a stone’s throw from Silicon Roundabout, also known as Shoreditch area. It is the vibrant hub for dynamic techies such as Google, Amazon and Facebook.

Spaces are limited and memberships can be requested via SpacetoStartup on a first-come first-serve basis.

Andaz London Liverpool Street is alongside Liverpool Street mainline and tube station.
