This short piece of audio features interviews with Chloe Couchman, head of communications for business & major events at the capital's promotional body London & Partners, as well as London Malmaison's general manager, Anthony Thwaites and Jonathan Ragget, managing director of Red Carnation hotels, who told BigHospitality in November he was not expecting full hotels during the games.
The three hotel experts gave their views on if hotels were changing occupancy expectations or modifying room rates, how lessons had been learnt from previous host cities and other events like the Royal Wedding and how they were preparing logistically for the Olympics and the time after London 2012.
