There's plenty of special wedding venues in London, but if a cosmopolitan take on a fairytale day is what you're looking for, we think the Hotel Café Royal will just about blow you away. Hotel Café Royal has a fabulous location on Regents Street, surrounded by the bright lights of the city and close to major transport links.
It's been there since 1865, when French wine merchant Daniel Nicholas Thévenon fled Paris for a new start. Since then, its gold gilded rooms have entertained the likes of Oscar Wilde, Princess Diana and Mick Jagger, becoming known as a place to host the most glamorous parties. 150 years on and not much has changed, making this one of the most beautiful wedding venues in London.
There is a portfolio of spaces available for both ceremony and reception, with the largest being The Pompadour Ballroom; a Louis XVI style space with capacity for 110 people. Here, fluted Corinthian pilasters and mirrored panels shimmer, serving as a truly stunning backdrop to your wedding day and importantly, those all-important photos. The space can be reconfigured for your ceremony, canapes and cocktails and an evening meal, transporting your guests through different moods throughout the day.
For a more contemporary feel, consider The Queensberry suite. With a capacity of 100 people it's incredibly spacious, boasting oak walls and panelled ceilings, as well as huge, spanning windows which offer views over Piccadilly Circus and gorgeous natural light.
One of the many joys of tying the knot at Hotel Café Royal is, of course, the stunning bedrooms and suites, with plenty of options for the happy couple and guests. Simply start your enquiry with the team and they'll be happy to help you organise your perfect day, from beginning to end.
