For cut-price hotel bedrooms and conference spaces, buyers can now try a new Ebay-style online auction site from Expotel.
Prices on the new website, www.expotelauctions.com, start from £1.
Packages can include everything from a conference space for a day or a hotel room for the night, to spa breaks and even furniture.
Today (March 25) Expotel Auctions is offering a one-night stay at London’s St Giles Hotel for £1, and a full-day meeting room hire for up to 16 people at Nunsmere Hall hotel in Cheshire also for £1.
Mark Bevan, head of partner services for Expotel, said: “This site will allow properties to auction ‘one off’ deals such as a conference room, spa break or wedding package on a given date for a fixed number of people.”
He said the site is intended to help hotels and conference centres sell space and facilities during period of lower demand, and at short notice.
“The platform is simple to use and will deliver fantastic savings to buyers from Expotel’s existing hotel and venue partnerships,” he said.
