Men ’ s Business Travel : Where Style And Substance Go Hand In Hand
By Elinor Eaton
When it comes to Business Trips , we all know that the planning can be as exhausting as the trip itself ; making sure you schedule the right meetings , at the right time , with the right people ! Then of course you have the added extra of finding a base that ticks all the right boxes ! More often than not , your Business Trip is in a city that you are not overly familiar with too , so location and reputation has to be researched and time has to be spent finding the right place at the right price .
So , not only are you away from your creature comforts , with the prospect of living out of a suitcase for days , your office in an oversized lap top bag , miles of monotonous motorway ahead of you and the memory of all the planning still ringing in your ears ... you now have to hope your hotel delivers too !
Here at the New Continental Hotel , we know only too well what you are going through and now we also know what you really need !
Things have changed for the travelling salesman and the business innovator ; flying in and out of varying cities for business . We have seen their style and habits both change dramatically over the last three years and , what we have been interested in , is just what a hotel can do to support the business man to empower and enable him a smooth and stress free trip .
a glimpse into the fast lane of men who are innovating business , driving success and creating a platform to grow engaging relationships in our city .

Of course it can ’ t go unnoticed that not only have habits changed due to the social and economic landscape ; but also these men look amazing ! Clearly their packing sought to prioritise both classic and versatile pieces ; gone are the days of the single suit , the four white shirts and two different ties !
We see our guests now really pulling together outfits and choices that showcase as much of their personality as their business accruement , and when we asked them about it , this is what was said :
‘ People engage with people , not just businesses and meeting someone for the first time means I have to stand out , they have to remember me and they quickly have to gage if they like me or not . I need to feel comfortable , confident and capable ; my look has to help !’ says a regular guest at the New Continental Hotel .
Every day we see well groomed , well styled and completely on point Business Men checking in and out of our hotel and we have taken the time to ask him :
‘ What do you need ? What can we change ? How can we help ?’ Collating their feedback and thoughts has been amazing ; 60 | The Gentleman Magazine
