About us
At rooms4groups, we specialise in making Group hotel reservations UK easy, efficient, and stress-free. Founded in York by Maria Turley Allerton, we’ve grown from a small idea into a global business that last year alone secured hotel stays for over 10,000 people, ranging from intimate groups of ten to major events hosting up to 1,000 guests.


Our story
Maria started rooms4groups with a clear vision: to offer expert group booking services with a personal touch, while also creating a career that balanced her professional goals with family life. That vision has become the foundation of everything we do.
“I wanted a career I loved but one that also allowed me to be there for the family,” says Maria. “From the very beginning, that became the ethos of the company—to provide that same balance for my team.”
Today, we’re proud to support a team of talented professionals who value flexibility, family, and connection. Many of our staff are working mums who appreciate the ability to attend school concerts and family events, all while being part of a high-performing and supportive workplace. This has created a fantastic, dedicated team who work incredibly hard because they feel valued and supported.
