venue description
Situated in the heart of London’s vibrant Covent Garden, the Grand Connaught Rooms (formerly the New Connaught Rooms) is steeped in history and, since being acquired by Principal Hayley Hotels & Conference Venues in June 2009, has undergone a £7 million transformation. Whatever your event needs, from an exhibition or glittering gala dinner to a high tech conference, training event or executive board meeting, the Grand Connaught Rooms is one of central London’s largest conference and event venues.
The 30 air-conditioned function rooms can accommodate from 2-700 delegates for a meeting and the Grand Hall, with its magnificent high ceilings and beautiful chandeliers, is perfect to treat your guests to an award ceremony to remember. Combined with the Balmoral, the Grand Hall can accommodate over 700 guests for a dinner. As part of the grand transformation, the Covent Garden suite has been converted into a high spec training suite. Escape the outside hustle and bustle of the city and train your delegates in an inspirational setting. Let your delegates dine from the brand new Tempus Restaurant where they can choose from the extensive lunch menu.
The distinctive Georgian architecture and exquisite interiors with state-of-the-art equipment makes the Grand Connaught Rooms a unique venue and, being located in the West End and surrounded by the buzzing bars, theatres, hotels and shopping facilities with excellent transport links, you have everything you need at your fingertips. What’s more, the Grand Connaught Rooms is only a 10 minute walk or 5 minute taxi ride from sister hotel, the Hotel Russell, which has 373 elegant bedrooms and a full-service restaurant – ideal for your delegates to stay overnight if you want a combined residential package.
