If you're looking for somewhere particularly swish to hold an important dinner, whether it be a milestone birthday, client meeting or networking get-together, the Park Plaza Riverbank hotel ticks every box. First off, let's talk about that location: situated right on the Thames South Bank, not only are the transport links impeccable, but you'll be in the heart of the action, surrounded by culture and nightlife.
As for the style and vibe of this four-star hotel, think sleek lines, a sophisticated feel and neutral colour palette, which is exactly what you want when planning an event - a blank canvas to project your celebration onto. There's a huge breadth of private dining spaces too, with capacity stretching from small and intimate all the way up to Park Plaza Riverbank's Ballroom, which seats 540 for large banquets.
The best thing to do is to have a chat with the in-house events team about what you need and they'll help guide you through the many, many choices available. The Ballroom is a natural choice if you're planning a gala dinner or large networking event with canapes, but you could also take over the hotel's award-winning restaurant, Chino Latino. Here, there's space for up to 150 people, plus the setting of a stylishly suave bar and restaurant, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows and great views of the city. There's also the 12th floor Executive Lounge, which offers a more business-like setting for up to 66 guests.
There are smaller rooms for cosier private dinners too, and all the catering is handled by Chino Latino, with a range of banqueting and restaurant menus available.
Of course, organising a shindig at a hotel also means those travelling from further afar have a convenient place to rest their heads and the hotel team can help you pre-book rooms if needed.
