Cancellation Policy
The rates offered are based, in part, upon the total gross revenue anticipated by us from your agreement. You guarantee that your event will provide minimum revenues (exclusive of tax and gratuity). Cancellation damages will be calculated as a percentage, based on the date of cancellation and the minimum number guarantees listed. Please ask for these. We will make reasonable efforts to re-let the cancelled Event and/or accommodation space. The cancelled Event and/or accommodation space will be classed as last let and therefore we will confirm definitive cancellation charges after the intended date of the Event. We shall reduce your cancellation damages by the profit of any alternative business we are able to secure on your behalf. All notices of cancellation must be received in writing from you and will take effect from the date of receipt by us. All charges will be based on guest numbers and rates in the Schedule of Event. All charges are ex-VAT. Cancellation charges will be a set out genuine pre-estimate of the Hotel’s profit loss, in line with MIA (Meeting Industry Association) guidelines, i.e. 90% of prebooked accommodation and room hire (“ARH”) and 65% of pre-booked “F&B”. Following confirmation of an Event, should ‘total guest numbers’ increase, so that a new applicable cancellation period becomes valid, then the new cancellation period will automatically supersede the previous. Should guest numbers decrease at any time following confirmation the original applicable cancellation period will still remain valid.
