Category: Venue Finding

Senior Conference Consultant, Hannah, recently spent the day in London and managed to visit eight venues.  

Etc. venues 155 Bishopsgate:

The venue is a 2 minute walk from Liverpool Street station. The venue is very modern and bright and has vehicular access. The main space seats up to 600 theatre style, the client would have exclusive use of the venue. The catering is in a wide open space where there is plenty of seating for delegates.

Novotel Wembley:

The venue is easy to get to. It is 30 mins on the tube from Liverpool Street and a 2 minute walk from Wembley Park station. Their DDR is from £45 inc. They only have 2 meeting rooms (20 boardroom each or 70 theatre style if the rooms are opened out into 1 room). There is a separate catering space just outside the room. A larger meeting would therefore have exclusive use. The venue as a whole is very bright with lots of natural daylight, and contemporary décor. The bedrooms are very high standard for a Novotel and they felt really spacious.

The Lancaster: 

The venue was only 2 minutes from Lancaster Gate tube station on the central line. The hotel feels very traditional on arrival with high ceilings in places and chandeliers. There is also a lot of natural daylight. The Nine Kings Suite was very large, grand and elegant. There was only one room without natural daylight directly underneath the Nine Kings that was slightly larger. On the 1st floor there are quite a few boardrooms and one larger space overlooking Hyde Park. The bedrooms are currently going under a refurbishment. The new bedrooms are fantastic – really well furnished and comfortable and they have incorporated their beehives into the room design.

Etc. Venues Marble Arch:

The venue is a short distance from Marble Arch tube station. It is split over three floors. Each floor has a communal area in the centre for refreshments to be served and it has a lot of seating for smaller meetings or 1:1 meetings or just to catch up on emails etc. The venue is very different from 155 Bishopsgate. It has exposed bricks and ceilings. There is a restaurant on one floor where all lunches are served from a buffet.

The Dorchester:

The Dorchester is on Park Lane and is very iconic. The entrance is very grand and the welcome on arrival is extremely friendly with British and traditional feel. The hotel has a couple of different restaurants on site as well as their own grill. The event space is extremely luxurious. It doesn’t have many spaces or endless meeting rooms but each space is very individual. There is a private dining area “The Penthouse” on the 8th floor which has a rooftop terrace with water fountain, which would be perfect for hosting a dinner for up to 20 people. 

St James’s Court:

The hotel is very warm and comfortable. The main meeting rooms were in a separate building to the side of the hotel entrance. They were very traditional with wooden panelled walls and floral carpeting. There were two smaller boardrooms here also which had an additional space at the back of the room (Edwardian and the Buckingham). The hotel does have a state of the art videoconferencing room which can seat around 8 delegates.

Doubletree Chelsea:

The hotel is situated not far the river Thames in Chelsea and just around the corner from Imperial Wharf on the London Overground. The hotel is very pleasant with lots of natural daylight in the main foyer and all bedrooms. The bedrooms are spacious but feel quite empty because they are quite minimalist. Some of the bedrooms are designed by Laura Ashley so are slightly different than the others.

IET Savoy Place:

At the time of the visit, the venue wasn’t opened and was still a building site. Despite the venue being incomplete, it was easy to see how this venue will look once completed. There are two large lecture theatres (one for 400 and one for 150), and a lot of large, flexible spaces. The reception area will be recovered marble from the old building. The Riverside on the 4th floor overlooks the Thames with views of all iconic landmarks of the London skyline and has a viewing platform. Above the 4th floor, is the 5th floor Riverside terrace which can accommodate up to 200 people for a standing reception. 

PPHE Hotel Group, has signed an agreement to manage a new hotel in the Battersea Power Station Development.  It is planned to open in 2019 and be branded art’otel, which is a contemporary collection of properties in Europe with art-inspired interiors.  It is likely that an acclaimed local or national artist will feature prominently.

The hotel will have 160 bedrooms, a number of skyline floors with panoramic views, a roof garden, an outdoor rooftop pool, bar overlooking the power station’s chimneys and a destination restaurant.   Meeting space is to be confirmed.

Queens Hotel

The Queens Hotel is located directly next to Leeds Station.  This traditional feel hotel has a wide reception area with some meeting space off the back of the reception area.  The Ballroom, the largest suite which can seat 600 theatre style, is located on the first floor and although tired in certain places it does not completely affect the overall feel of the room, especially when dressed for a dinner.  The bedrooms, as with the rest of the hotel, are traditionally designed and although well finished would not be favoured by people looking for a modern venue.

Jurys Inn Leeds

Jury’s Inn Leeds is a clean looking, modern hotel that looks quite impressive through the communal areas.  The reception is bright, modern and welcoming.  The bedrooms are all to a modern standard and provide a suitable option for a city centre accommodation requirements. The meeting space at the hotel consists of just 3 meeting rooms, the largest that can seat 60 theatre style but does not have natural daylight.  Despite this the rooms are very practical and include everything required including incorporated plasma screens.  A good options for lower budget, smaller meeting requirements.

The meeting space at the hotel consists of just 3 meeting rooms, the largest that can seat 60 theatre style but does not have natural daylight.  Despite this the rooms are very practical and include everything required including incorporated plasma screens.  A good options for lower budget, smaller meeting requirements.

Queens Hotel

The Queens Hotel is located directly next to Leeds Station.  This traditional feel hotel has a wide reception area with some meeting space off the back of the reception area.  The Ballroom, the largest suite which can seat 600 theatre style, is located on the first floor and although tired in certain places it does not completely affect the overall feel of the room, especially when dressed for a dinner.  The bedrooms, as with the rest of the hotel, are traditionally designed and although well finished would not be favoured by people looking for a modern venue.

National Railway Museum York

The National Railway Museum is located close to the train station in the centre of York and has plenty of on-site car parking so the venue is easily accessible for delegates.  The conference centre at the NRM has six meeting rooms, the largest of which can seat 140 delegates, and whilst these are clean, functional and versatile, it is evening dinners where the venue really comes into its own.  The Station Hall and the Great Hall provide fantastic, unique areas in which dinners can be held for up to 800 people.  For much smaller dining the Countess of York, an old railway carriage, offers another attention-grabbing setting.
