Why We Love It
The Windsor Hotel straddles the line between modern and classic perfectly. It's only a couple of years old, so it's fully equipped with all the latest mod-cons - we love the fact that the meeting rooms have iPod docks built in to the walls, so if you want to create a relaxed atmosphere while your group brainstorms, you can just plug in your iPhone and set the tone with music. The smart yet tranquil atmosphere and impeccable service hark back to the 'golden age' of hotels and will make you feel more like you're on holiday than at work. It also boasts a fantastic location - there's something special about being in the heart of Windsor; with it's amazing history, quaint buildings and relaxed, elegant vibe, being here always makes us feel extremely proud to be British. There's plenty to see, and The Windsor Hotel provides the perfect base for exploring - make the most of the hotel's central location by using at as the starting point for a Windsor Adventure, which is a great way to see the sights and boost team motivation. If you'd prefer something indoors, relax after a long day of meetings with a World of Wine team build before dinner in the hotel itself.
"Being a MacDonald venue, The Windsor Hotel is second-to-none when it comes to hosting your team building event. I love the fact that you can even watch the changing of the guards from the comfort of the hotel lobby" - Kye Harman, CCC Event Manager
The first challenge for the guests is to assemble their chariots from the high quality kit provided - there are no instructions for this so each team must work together to achieve their goal.
