Get my Free Venue ShortlistContinuing its celebrated legacy, Café Royal hotel offers a selection of restaurants and bars for guests to enjoy. At the heart of the hotel, the Ten Room offers British informal all-day dining while The Bar is the perfect place to relax and unwind with a cocktail. Restored to revive the ornate Louis XVI décor and detailing, the iconic Grill Room (originally established in 1865), is now the place to enjoy Champagne, cocktails and a light menu of British dishes. Reservations are recommended and to recapture the spirit of the room we ask that guests dress to be celebrative and sophisticated. The Café, on Regent Street, revives the European tradition of café culture.

Café Royal hotel is the second member of The Set, a collection created to redefine the concept of the luxury hotel for sophisticated, design literate travellers in the 21st Century. Working to an uncompromising brief that called for hotels that were not only of the moment but that would define their times and locations, architects and designers to rework the DNA of the grand hotel and create spaces that are contemporary in conception, whilst simultaneously evocative of the style and glamour of the past.
The hotel is perfectly positioned in the heart of central London for meetings and events ranging from a discreet business dinner to an exclusive residential conference.

From the beautifully restored Pompadour Suite, rich with historical detail, to the cutting-edge boardroom – all boast natural daylight and are equipped with the latest technology, including complimentary WiFi and full AV support.

Spaces range from 26sqm to 176sqm with capacities from 14 – 230. Entrance to the meeting centre is via a welcome reception and rooms are orientated around a separate lounge foyer at the centre.
