The Londoner, set on the south west corner of Leicester Square, is where the U.K. capital comes alive. Recently opened, the hotel is set to offer a new stage for business and leisure events and a milestone concept for the MICE industry.
Created by interior designers Yabu Pushelberg, this multifunctional hotel is suited for any occasion, from private dinners and corporate functions to weddings, and presentations. It comprises 16 stories, 350 guestrooms and suites, and a tower penthouse with panoramic views. Highlight facilities include two private screening rooms, six concept eateries—including bars, a traditional London tavern, al fresco dining on the ground floor and a Japanese lounge bar with a rooftop terrace and fire pit—a ballroom, meeting spaces, and well-being destination, The Retreat.
The Ballroom is a 6,092-square-foot pillarless venue space, with a capacity to host up to 864 guests. State-of-the-art 4K projections systems, large 18-foot electric screens, ceiling-hung LED screens and a BOSE Showmax Stage audio system are just a few of the SMART features available. Suited for any hybrid occasion, its digital and tech capabilities mean that the space can deliver a spectrum of virtual event experiences such as conferences, AGMs, product launches, exhibitions, awards ceremonies, fashion shows, seminars, receptions and dinners.
For smaller events, The Green Room is ideal for receptions and gatherings. The 3,214-square-foot space serves as a party venue for 150 people standing. Further, The Gallery and its seven rooms are ideal for business meetings. The rooms are linked to a foyer and can be configured to suit various needs.
Delegates can also simply text Edward, Edwardian Hotels London’s AI chatbot, for any support needs—from ordering refreshments and adjusting running orders, to requesting assistance with AV equipment. Built-in assisted machine learning using Natural Language Understanding (NLU) means more than 1,600 requests can be responded to in different languages. The hotel offers a seven-day menu for meetings and events delegates, as part of a significant investment across Edwardian Hotels London’s wider MICE offering.
From micro-weddings to large gatherings, the hotel is equipped to cater to events requiring entertainment from live bands and concert performances. There are two dedicated kitchens equipped to service The Ballroom. Licensed for civil weddings and partnership ceremonies, an in-house team manages and considers every detail, from the cuisine to the finer personal touches.
The Londoner has two private screening rooms. State-of-the-art digital and projection system with Dolby Cinema screens enable archive or specialist screenings for business or press events, offering high-specification video conferencing, the latest technologies for broadcasting, integrated technology with individual electronic voting and microphones and dedicated AV support. One of the screening rooms can accommodate 170 people, while the can accommodate 75 people. Both rooms feature wheelchair accessibility and can accommodate two wheelchairs per room.
