The question we get most is about timing. For events held inside a hotel, the weather matters less than it does outdoors. What matters is demand, availability, price and how easily guests can travel.

October and November

Travel is comfortable and demand is building. Good for corporate events and for weddings that want to avoid the December peak.

December and January

Peak. Ballrooms and performers are in highest demand and prices are highest. Book early.

February and March

Still busy, with a slightly easier market than December. Excellent for galas and launches.

April

Warming. Good value and easier to book, particularly for weddings and celebrations.

May to September

Hot outside, but indoor events are air-conditioned and comfortable. Availability is better and pricing can be lower. Plan arrivals and transfers for early morning or evening.
