Chelsea FC joins Lime Venue Portfolio

Chelsea FC has become the latest member of Lime Venue Portfolio adding another high-profile sporting arena into the portfolio.  

Based in West London, and easily walkable from Fulham Broadway, it is an accessible venue; close to major rail, road, and air routes, and tapping into the ‘M4 corridor’, putting it near Heathrow airport. The venue regularly hosts meetings and conferences of every scale, as well as pitch events, dinners, world cup viewings, exhibitions, Christmas parties, lunches, and charity dinners. The onsite hotel opens up options for residential meetings as well.

“We believe we can help Lime Venue Portfolio and that they can really support our business in return,” said Chelsea FC’s meetings and events manager, Lucy Adamson. “It’s clear that event organisers are increasingly looking to book multiple venues with event programmes that cover the whole of the year. Lime Venue Portfolio really understand that market, and it’s something we’re looking forward to working with them on.”

New Opening 2023:

Faern, a collection of Lifestyle resorts in the Swiss Alps

January 2023 will see the launch of Faern; a new collection of lifestyle resorts in the Swiss Alps. Debuting with two hotels; Faern Arosa Altein and Faern Crans-Montana Valaisia, Faern will approach each alpine destination with a fresh take.

"We are delighted to announce the opening of Faern, Switzerland’s new destination lifestyle resorts, introducing Crans-Montana and Arosa launching in December 2022" said Faern Resorts co-founders Romain Semmel and Thibault Catala.

The brand name Faern has evolved from the German Feiern, meaning 'to celebrate', and the English fern, an icon of mountain flora.

Both Arosa and Crans-Montana have on-site restaurants and cocktail bars as well as for apres-ski events in winter or pool bar parties during the summer months.
