Re-launch of St Pancras Hotel

The team at LOLA have been very excited to have been involved with the re-launch of the St Pancras Hotel under the new Renaissance name.

The hotel, developed by Manhattan Loft Corporation, opened 138 years, to the day, since the original hotel’s grand opening in 1873. We have been involved with all the staffing teams for the VIP events in the lead up and we even featured last night on BBC with the Royal Academy of Arts event being televised.

The £150m renovation of the 245‐room hotel consists of the historic St Pancras Chambers that will house 38 Victorian bedroom suites, and Barlow House, the newly created 120,000 sq ft extension that will feature original artwork and contemporary design.

The hotel will also house a 350 capacity ballroom, a private club, a barber’s shop and luxury spa, to include a swimming pool and 7 treatment rooms.

Manhattan Loft Corporation won the competition for the restoration of Sir George Gilbert Scott’s Grade I listed hotel in 2002.

Thank you to the team at St Pancras for placing trust in our LOLA Event Staffing team and we’re looking forward to the future.

LOLA Staff Party

Thank you to everyone that attended our staff party last night at Tiger Tiger. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves.

So far today I have heard of a few romances, a few rejections, one fight and a lot of McDonalds. So all in all I guess that makes it a good night!

Special thanks to Diana for organising the evening and Kate for managing the bar (and insisting on cleaning up glasses despite being ordered to relax!)

If anyone has photos it would be great if you could upload these to the LOLA Staffing facebook page. And any comments and stories would be welcomed (especially any dirt!)

PS Who was that mysterious old, very weird guy with the cravat sitting in the corner of our party all night????

LOLA Promotional Staff at the Usher After Party

Following a fantastic night at the Official Usher OMG Tour our LOLA Promotional Staff provided their services as hostesses at the After Show Party at the IndigO2.

Very excited to be spending the evening with Usher at the Intimate LIVE music arena the IndigO2 the promotional staff looked super hot in their Remi Martini sponsored outfits.

Guests were treated to music by Swerve, Tommy Smalls and Ironic and of course some smooth talking by the man himself, who is ‘filling Michael Jackson’s shoes’ (according to his performance on the night). We heard he’s a pretty damn good dancer so I guess we can’t argue with him!

Thanks to Remi Martini and everyone at 02 and a BIG thanks to LOLA Music Management for the booking. Great name!
