Conference rooms with grass floors?
Hay fever sufferers beware: Crowne Plaza is putting fresh green grass in some of its conference rooms this week in its latest marketing ploy.
The hotel claims the green space will help put creativity into traditional and often mundane business meetings.
It hopes the look and feel of the grass will remind guests of their childhood and therefore “free them of societal barriers that restrict creativityâ€.
The grass-filled meeting rooms are being trialed at Crowne Plaza London Docklands, Crowne Plaza Glasgow and Crowne Plaza Dublin Northwood until this Friday (20 August).
