Venue at a glance
Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge is a major central London meetings, events and accommodation venue on the South Bank, close to Waterloo, Westminster, Big Ben and the London Eye. It combines a large pillar-free ballroom, multiple suite configurations, 1,023 guest rooms, on-site restaurants, bars, spa facilities and dedicated event infrastructure under one roof, with around 3,330 m² of flexible meeting space in total.
The venue is particularly strong for large conferences, awards dinners, gala events and residential programmes where arrivals, catering, breakouts and accommodation all need to work smoothly together. The pillar-free Westminster Ballroom can be used as one large room or divided into four sections, supported by Plaza Suites, Park Suites, City Rooms, foyer areas and on-site dining, spa and leisure facilities.
Why choose this venue
The Westminster Ballroom gives organisers a rare combination of scale, flexibility and location, with a pillar-free main space supported by pre-function areas, suites and dedicated event floors. It is particularly strong for conferences, awards dinners and events where arrivals, catering, breakouts and accommodation all need to work smoothly together.
The venue sits on the South Bank, directly opposite the Houses of Parliament and close to Big Ben, the London Eye, Waterloo and Westminster. This gives bookers a clear London identity without asking guests to travel far from major transport links.
With 1,023 guest rooms, dedicated groups check-in, luggage storage, business centre support and multiple meeting floors, the hotel is well set up for multi-day and residential events. It is especially useful when delegates need to meet, eat, sleep and socialise in one place.
The venue works well when a main plenary needs to be paired with breakouts, registration, catering, exhibitions, smaller meetings or evening events. The Westminster Ballroom, Plaza Suites, Park Suites, City Rooms and foyer areas allow bookers to scale the event footprint up or down.
Brasserie Joël, Ichi Sushi & Sashimi Bar, Primo Bar, illy Caffè, Mandara Spa, the indoor pool, fitness centre and Executive Lounge add useful options for hospitality, delegate downtime, speaker accommodation and private dining.
