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

Quite nice especially for a wedding. Not sure I'd have my own here, but it was nice, very grand

How a company acts in a pandemic is particularly telling. One of our party has unfortunately contracted COVID. The venue were understanding and have offered us a credit note.

Had my wedding here 29th Aug 2021. Couldn't fault a thing. Shout out to Amber who left just before our wedding date. She was great from the start.

Downstairs is absolutely stunning. However, the upstairs, perhaps less used? - is a little tired and some of the facilities need a bit of attention. Staff helpful and friendly.

Have been here a few times for different events over the years, most recently for a 50th birthday party last night. The venue is gorgeous and the staff very professional, friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. However, I can't believe that a hotel of this size, in Central London, in 2021, could offer no alcohol-free drinks aside from the usual mixers, hot drinks or sickly J20s! Given the huge selection of alcohol-free beers and spirits available now, it's astounding that non-drinkers aren't better catered for in such a high end venue. Such a shame and a massive missed opportunity.
