Venue at a glance
Leonardo Royal Hotel London Tower Bridge is a contemporary city hotel on Prescot Street, between the City of London, Tower Hill, Whitechapel and East London's creative districts. It combines large-scale meetings and events space, residential conference capability, on-site restaurants and bar, and a full Rena Spa with a 25-metre pool.
The hotel is especially relevant for conferences, corporate events and residential programmes that need strong transport links, accommodation, catering and leisure facilities in one place. It has 17 meeting and event rooms across two dedicated event floors, with a stated maximum of up to 850 delegates and a largest single space, the combined Trinity & Goodmans Suite, published on the current website at up to 800 banquet or 750 theatre.
Why choose this venue
The hotel has 17 flexible meeting and conference rooms across two dedicated event floors, with a stated maximum of up to 850 delegates. This makes it a strong fit for large conferences, multi-room events and residential programmes close to the City.
With 370 bedrooms, on-site dining, a bar, spa, pool and gym, the hotel can support multi-day programmes without sending guests elsewhere. It works well for bookers who need meeting space and accommodation under one roof.
The hotel is close to Tower Gateway DLR, Tower Hill, Aldgate East, Aldgate and Fenchurch Street, making it practical for delegates arriving by tube, DLR, rail or taxi. The DLR connection is useful for London City Airport and Canary Wharf.
Meeting spaces include AV equipment, HD projectors, speakers, plasma screens, video conferencing capability, portable staging, ambient LED lighting, air conditioning, a PA system and foyer areas for registration, networking and breaks. This gives organisers a more complete event setup than a simple hotel meeting room.
Rena Spa includes a 25-metre indoor pool, infinity-edge spa pool, sauna, steam room, treatment rooms and gym. These facilities add value for residential conferences, incentive groups and delegates extending their stay.
