With wood panels, high ceilings and chandeliers, this space can accommodate up to 300 for a drinks reception. We also loved the Taj room &#8211; long and naturally lit, this bright space can accommodate up to 45. You can combine the rooms, or mix and match them, depending on your requirements, they really are so versatile, definitely worth a visit.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10863294\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10863294\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10863294\" title=\"Review: Taj 51 Buckingham Gate\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/edwardian-i-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Review: Taj 51 Buckingham Gate\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/edwardian-i-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/edwardian-i-1-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/edwardian-i-1-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/edwardian-i-1-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/edwardian-i-1-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/edwardian-i-1-1400x933.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/edwardian-i-1-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/edwardian-i-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10863294\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10863294\" title=\"Review: Taj 51 Buckingham Gate\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/edwardian-i-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Review: Taj 51 Buckingham Gate\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/edwardian-i-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/edwardian-i-1-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/edwardian-i-1-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/edwardian-i-1-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/edwardian-i-1-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/edwardian-i-1-1400x933.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/edwardian-i-1-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/edwardian-i-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/noscript> Edwardian 1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Jiva Spa<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">With our tour over, it was time to relax in the spa.
