Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons

The whole day was a wonderful experience, from the train journey on the British Pullman to Oxford, with breakfast and cocktails, to the beautiful lunchtime meal at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, and the return back to London. A beautiful and relaxing day, highly recommended!

British Pullman journey to Le Manoir

The entire day was planned perfectly and executed seamlessly. At every location on the day, there were always team members from Imperial there to take care of us and make sure everything ran smoothly. This excellent service complemented the luxurious treatment we received aboard the iconic British Pullman train and the exceptional and unforgettable lunch at Le Manoir. Highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to impress clients, win new ones or just treating yourself to a much deserved day off!

A big thank you to Sally James for telling us all about the fine dining experience they offered in Monaco. The Hotel de Paris was outstanding as were the 2 restaurants we visited for our evening meals. Met some amazing people and the Imperial girls Caitlin & Jessica were fantastic keeping everyone informed of the daily plans. Definitely lots of memories made.

Friendly and Organised

As a business and privately, have regularly used Imperial. Cameron Cleaver is a great point of contact - very helpful and understands what we/ I need. Big thanks also to Caitlin and Jessica who recently provided on the ground support on a recent Monaco restaurant trip. It was a great trip overall and both were brilliant in organising a group of adults (worse than kids at times?!) in a professional and friendly manner.

The Monte Carlo dream

We had an excellent experience dining in two Michelin star restaurants in Monaco and staying at the fantastic Hotel de Paris. It will be something we remember for many years to come. It was well considered and a delight to add to it our memories of other events with Imperial. Thoroughly recommend.

Belmond British Pullman to the MAQS

The initial welcome was friendly yet professional and well organised with clear instructions. The home team kept us informed all day long and the whole experience on the Belmond British Pullman and Manoir Aux Quat' Saisons (MAQS) was amazing. The food was wonderful, with so many flavours and the refreshments were always perfectly timed (and flowing). The train was in beautiful condition and the gardens at MAQS were stunning. It wasn't cheap but it was good value and I would recommend this for a special occasion or if you want to spend quality time in splendid surroundings with contacts, colleagues or a loved one. I was very impressed. One extra bit that made the day was getting to know a couple of Imperial staff members (Will & Beth) who were a credit to the organisation. Some of the rest of the team were hidden away eating their packed lunch which was a bit of a shame.

I rarely make reviews but following our trip this week to the Le Manoir on the British Pullman I felt I should ! The day was described as a unique experience, it really was. A day with many ingredients that could all go wrong ran smoothly from the beginning to the end. It was a day to put away in the memories box! Special thanks to Marcus too who offered it to us originally and helped with arranging revised seating so we could travel with our friends who by chance were booked on the same event. Well done Imperial 🕺🏽
