You have to give it to them - the team at this sleek, chic hotel in the heart of Covent Garden certainly know how to throw a party. St Martins Lane London proudly boasts seven entertaining spaces, each one different in style and ambience, with enough options to suit any shindig you might be planning.
Picturing an oh-so-cool cocktail party where guests can lounge and mingle freely? Say hello to The Basement which has total privacy in the belly of the property and with low ceilings, sumptuous booths and flickering candle light, is incredibly atmospheric. We particularly like the mustard-hued foot stools dotted about which are perfect for perching here and there. The Basement has a capacity of 100 people standing and there's DJ equipment too, so you can keep the party going.
Similarly, the stylish Den has a retro-inspired aesthetic with classic brown leather furniture, vintage tables and patterned carpeting in the best shade of burnt orange. This space again is perfect for relaxed socialising, but would also work really well for a networking event or book launch, for up to 60 people.
Thinking of something a little more formal? St Martins Lane London has plenty of answers for that, too. Perhaps the ultra-modern Backroom is what you're looking for with blanched-white walls and clean lined-furnishings. This space has a total capacity of 40 people and its huge table and floor-to-ceiling windows make it an ideal place to hold a meeting or creative session.
Then, there's the Studio spaces, both 1 and 2, which are a blank canvas. Think white walls, loads of natural light and LCD screens which mean you can show presentations, entertain clients or just share promotional imagery in the background of a corporate gathering. These are the largest of the hotel's spaces with a total capacity of 200 people, so dream as big as you like.
