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 L7 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 Londons largest conference and event venues.

The 37 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 for treating 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 Tempus Restaurant where they can choose from the extensive lunch menu.

The distinctive Georgian architecture and exquisite interiors with state-of-the-art equipment make 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. Whats more, the Grand Connaught Rooms is only a 10 minute walk or 5 minute taxi ride from out sister property, Hotel Russell, which has 373 elegant bedrooms and a full-service Tempus restaurant ideal for your delegates to stay overnight if you want a combined residential package.

Free, superfast Wi-Fi with a maximum bandwidth of 1Gb is available throughout the venue.

Ratings & Reviews

A truly beautiful venue in the heart of London. All the rooms have a charm about them but the Grand Hall is exceptionally impressive, with those stunning chandeliers, it adds a real wow to any event. Staff are extremely polite and professional. Highly recommend booking this place for a wedding or event.

GOOGLE REVIEW

Beautiful and spacious event venue. The grand hall is impressive. Well made food with plenty of vegetarian options. However it has ways to improve, some staff were quite brash but within reason. Overall a solid experience and a safe choice for hosting large scale events.

Great venue, really helpful staff. Food looked and smelt amazing (didn't get to sample as I was working!). It's a 4 star because only on a technicality it's so dark in there! If you're filming bring extra lighting or ensure your kit can handle low light situations.
