Telegraph staff to take a break after busy Christmas

Staff at Coventry’s Telegraph Hotel will be putting their feet up this Christmas for a well-earned rest of their own.

The mid-century styled city centre hotel, which opened three years ago in the former offices of the city’s daily newspaper, will be giving its 62 staff Christmas off from December 22 right through to January 3.

The team at the Telegraph Hotel will have spent the end of November and the best part of December making sure guests get into the festive spirit, including everything from corporate party nights to Christmas afternoon teas for friends and family.

The Telegraph has proved popular for the third year running with its party nights being close to fully booked early in October. Afternoon teas are still available with or without Prosecco in the stylish Forme & Chase Restaurant and include everything from roast breast of turkey and cranberry jelly finger sandwiches through to chestnut and parmesan arancini.

Festive Fayre lunches and dinners, also in Forme & Chase, which feature three courses and are perfect for meet-ups with family and friends or small business lunches, are also available to book.

Overall, the Telegraph expects to serve a whopping 10,000 roast potatoes, an eye-watering 12,500 Brussels sprouts, thousands of turkey portions and, on top of that, more than 3,000 crackers will be pulled!

Amy Windsor, General Manager of the Telegraph Hotel, said the team will have earned their Christmas off to spend with their own family and friends after working so hard to ensure guests were in the festive spirit.

She said: “We have a team that prides itself on customer service the whole year round and you can see that in the feedback we get.

“People love to come to the Telegraph because of its history and style but they return because of the fantastic welcome they get and because we make sure they feel at home here.

“Naturally, that steps up a notch at Christmas and we are incredibly privileged that businesses, families and other groups choose to spend part of their festive period here with us because it is such as special time.

“Our staff work so hard – from those serving to those behind the scenes – to make it all happen and that is why I am really pleased that we are able to give them a break at Christmas.”
