Why choose this venue

South Bank location with strong London views

The hotel is close to Lambeth North, Waterloo, Westminster Bridge, the London Eye and the River Thames. Its skyline views and rooftop terraces make it a strong fit for events that want a central London feel without using a much larger convention-style venue.

Flexible ground-floor meeting rooms

All six Park Suites are on the ground floor and can be used individually or combined into larger configurations. Natural daylight, movable partitions, WiFi, AV and individual climate control make the meeting suite practical for conferences, training, private dining and receptions.

Two rooftop terraces for summer events

The hotel has two rooftop terraces on the 11th and 12th floors, with views towards the London Eye, Houses of Parliament and city skyline. They are a useful differentiator for summer parties, BBQs, drinks receptions, networking and celebrations.

Residential event support in one hotel

With 494 guest rooms, 24-hour room service, a restaurant, bar, pool, sauna, steam room and fitness centre, the hotel can support events where delegates or guests need to stay overnight. It works particularly well for smaller residential meetings and corporate programmes.

Strong family and pet-friendly credentials

The hotel has a family offer, family-style room types, children's dining support, a pool with family times and a dog-friendly policy that welcomes all dogs, making it relevant for leisure stays around events as well as corporate guests extending trips with family.
