The MacDonald Berystede Hotel and Spa is the largest of the MacDonald properties. The hotel boasts a separate hall from the rest of the venue which can hold up 260 delegates in a dinner/dance layout. The venue also has numerous other spaces that can hold anything from a small boardroom to 120 delegates for a dinner.  One of the key features of the hotel is the state of the art spa facilities, which consist of a thermal spa with six spa treatment rooms, an 18-metre swimming pool, rock and infra-red saunas and an outdoor hydropool.   The area consist of large amounts of space, and a short distance from popular attractions such as Legoland, Thorpe Park, Windsor Castle and Wentworth Golf Course, perfect for team building.

MacDonald Complete Angler, Marlow

The Complete Angler hotel is situated in the town of Marlow next to the river Thames. The beautiful location of this venue makes it its unique selling point with two boardrooms, a restaurant and a large amount of the bedrooms are all situated looking over the river which provides a wonderful tranquil atmosphere. With regards to meeting space there are a few rooms which are situated in the main building and overlook the river. There are also two newly refurbished boardrooms that have the new smart boards and comfortable 24 hour chairs. The venue is also host to a restaurant owned by Atul Kochhar- the first Indian chef to receive the Michelin star.

MacDonald Hotel, Windsor

The MacDonald Windsor is the newest addition to the MacDonald portfolio. The property is very well designed with interior that is very welcoming and while also maintaining a somewhat homely atmosphere. The hotel is very eco-friendly while not compromising on luxury. The unique feature of this hotel is that they make their own honey and have 12,000 bee’s situated on the roof of the hotel that pollinate the royal gardens. There is also the changing of the guard every day outside the front of the property which has become a huge attraction.

Mercedes Benz World

Mercedes Benz World is a large and incredibly flexible venue that can accommodate a variety of bookings. The venue consists of several board rooms that are all appointed with the latest technology. There are rooms able to hold up to 70 for a dinner. For larger bookings, the hotel can rely upon their exhibition floor and The Brooklands Hall – both of which can hold 200+ for a dinner. The Mercedes Benz World really shines in the additional packages and experiences they offer for the clients, with a multitude of driving packages to make an event truly unique with friendly and professional instructors.
