Dating back to the swinging sixties, The Royal Lancaster is a mid-century architectural icon with a myriad of event spaces that are suitable for weddings both large and small. The hotel also features 411 luxury bedrooms for guests with every amenity in mind, plus there are a variety of restaurants on site to get them settled in before the main event.

The primary ground floor function room, the Nine Kings Suite, is directly accessible from the marble lined lobby as well as via its private roadside entrance. This colossal event space can accommodate up to 1500 standing and 1050 for a dinner and dance, making it one of the largest and most versatile suites in London. The Nine Kings Suite also has the benefit of natural daylight through its floor to ceiling length windows and after its complete refurbishment in 2015, the hotel introduced dazzling retractable chandeliers and ceiling cameras for the head chef to monitor the table service. The Nine Kings Suite particularly lends itself to Mandap ceremonies and large cultural weddings that require a huge dance floor and hospitality operation.

On the lower ground floor, The Westbourne Suite has a similar capacity of up to 900 for dinner guests and 1500 for a standing reception. Its multi zoned Bose audio system creates an instant atmosphere and the effective colour changing ceiling lights replicate the night sky. With just a spark of imagination, the room can be transformed into an unforgettable wedding setting. The Westbourne Suite also can be separated into different zones with its three partition walls. The room’s adaptability and state of the art technology combine to create an experiential space like no other.

Alternatively, smaller weddings of up to 150 standing and 90 seated are suited to the Beech Room. This bright and neutral space is equipped with all of the essentials to conduct a sophisticated event with direct views over Hyde Park.
