Platinum Plus Hospitality Critic Review
Introduction
The Platinum Plus Suites are in essence private corporate hospitality boxes, situated in a prime location in the Principality Stadium. There are over 100 hospitality boxes in the stadium however the Platinum Plus Suites are among the finest available for hire, by virtue of their central location. Most of the boxes in the stadium are sold on an annual basis but a few boxes are available for match-day hospitality.
Location
The Platinum Plus Suites are located between the 22m and half-way line. The suites are situated at the top of the East Middle & West Middle Stands on the Hospitality Box Level (the prestigious Level 5) - the Middle Tier is the premium area to view rugby in the Principality Stadium.
Facility/Décor
The suites are completely glass-fronted, affording superb views of the hallowed turf. They are decorated to a high standard however some are more luxurious than others, due to previous refurbishments carried out by annual box-holders. Most offer a rectangle dining table to seat 12 guests. There is a private bar in each suite.
Private Suites
Private suites are available for 12 guests, up to a maximum of 16 guests. There are a few ‘double’ boxes that accommodate up to 32 guests.
Admission
The seats are situated on a private balcony, directly in front of the suites through a glass sliding door. Convenient access to the suites is available throughout the day. There are 12 balcony seats allocated to every suite, additional guests (up to 4 extra) will need to view the match sitting on high stools behind the glass window.
Catering
Catering consists of a five-course fine-dining luncheon, followed by a half-time cheeseboard and additional refreshments post-match.
