11 Unforgettable Hotels & Venues in – London, England

Well, I’ve already talked about why I love London so much, so it really shouldn’t come as a surprise that I’ve dedicated 2 posts to my favourite city. Check out my last post on 14 Landmark Event Destinations for details on some really unique venues, throughout the city. This post is about lovely hotels that pretty much do it all for you! Oh, I snuck one into the last post as well!

If you’re looking for group bookings, contact to me and I’ll work with my contacts to put together an amazing package for you.

As for the time of year to go, well summer is your best bet. Though the weather in England/UK is unpredictable at best. You are probably safe to plan an outdoor event during the summer, however, there are no guarantees that it won’t randomly rain!

*Disclaimer – venue rentals are just a guideline.

40 Liverpool Street, London EC2M 7QN

Style:  Historical | Hotel | Modern | City location

Part of the Hyatt family, so you get the feel of a boutique hotel, but the service of a major chain.

Secondly because it’s easy to get to via the Tube, and thirdly because the hotel itself while steeped in history has been transformed into a modern facility. The exterior is all history, as are the special events rooms, the remainder of the hotel is sleek and funky modern.
