One of the first practical questions of a London wedding is where everyone sleeps. A venue with its own rooms lets the couple, their families and the guests who stay late go upstairs, and it keeps the night before and the morning after in one place. A venue without rooms leaves guests to book a hotel, travel at the end of the night and arrive in time for the day. Of the 61 London venues listed on 5 Star Weddings, 29 are recorded with rooms. This guide sets out what is known about them, and what is left for you to confirm.
How the venues with rooms divide
The 29 venues fall into three groups by the size of their room count: 8 with up to about 100 rooms, 12 with between 100 and 250, and 8 with more than 250, plus The May Fair, which is described by its suites only. The size of a hotel says how many guests it can house across a weekend. It does not say how many rooms a wedding can use on a given night, and a room count is never a sleeping capacity, so the number of beds for your date is a question for the venue.
Smaller hotels and houses
At the smaller end are The Groucho Club (20 bedrooms), Home House (23 bedrooms and suites, plus rooms at the Studio), Haymarket Hotel (53 rooms and suites, some with terraces), West Lodge Park (59 bedrooms), The Goring (69 rooms), The Lansdowne Club (73 rooms), Ham Yard Hotel (91 bedrooms and suites, plus 24 residences) and The Soho Hotel (96 bedrooms and suites). A property of this size suits a wedding where the couple and the closest guests stay together and the rest are placed nearby. It also means rooms run out quickly, so the weekend is built around how many beds the venue can hold for the date and where the remaining guests go.
Hotels of middle size, from 100 to 250 rooms
The middle group is the largest: One Aldwych (101 rooms and 16 suites), The Ritz London (136 rooms), The Bloomsbury (153 rooms and 12 suites), The Chelsea Harbour Hotel (158 rooms and suites), The London EDITION (173 rooms and suites), Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park (181 rooms), Sofitel London St James (183 rooms and 21 suites), The Berkeley (around 190 rooms and suites), London Marriott County Hall (200 guest rooms), Shangri-La The Shard, London (202 rooms), St Pancras Renaissance Hotel London (207 bedrooms and 36 Signature Suites) and The Dorchester (238 rooms and suites). At these hotels a wedding party can usually be housed in one building alongside other guests, so ask which floors or room types sit together and whether any can be held for the wedding.
The largest hotels
Eight London hotels are recorded with more than 250 rooms: The Savoy (263 rooms), Corinthia Hotel London (279 bedrooms, 62 suites and seven penthouses), St. James’ Court, A Taj Hotel (329 rooms and suites), Kimpton Fitzroy London (334 rooms), The Londoner (350 rooms), The Langham London (380 rooms), InterContinental London Park Lane (449 rooms and 75 suites) and London Hilton on Park Lane (453 guest rooms and suites). With this much choice the useful questions are about how rooms are held, released and priced for a wedding block, not about whether there is room for a few guests. The May Fair is recorded with 37 suites.
Suites for the couple
Several venues name individual suites. Corinthia Hotel London names a Royal Penthouse, a Hamilton Penthouse and a Musician’s Penthouse. St Pancras Renaissance Hotel London names a Royal Suite, a Queen Victoria Suite and a Sir George Gilbert Scott Suite. The May Fair names a Penthouse Suite and a Schiaparelli Suite, The Londoner a Tower Penthouse Suite, One Aldwych an Aldwych Loft Suite, Kimpton Fitzroy London a Fitzroy Suite and Sofitel London St James Suite 70 and the Opera Suite. Whether a named suite is offered to a wedding couple, and on what terms, is for the venue to confirm for your date.
Rooms are not the same as exclusive use
Having rooms does not mean the whole property is yours. Of the 29 venues with rooms, 8 are recorded as offering exclusive use (The Goring, The May Fair, The Londoner, Corinthia Hotel London, St Pancras Renaissance Hotel London, St. James’ Court, A Taj Hotel, The Langham London and West Lodge Park), 10 as offering it in part, 2 as not offering it (Haymarket Hotel and The Berkeley), and 9 have no recorded answer. Where exclusive use is not offered, other guests may be staying in the building on the night of the wedding. Our guide to exclusive-use wedding venues in London sets out what the phrase covers and what to ask.
When the venue has no rooms
The other 32 London venues listed are not recorded with rooms. For these, the guest question moves to a hotel nearby, and the venue is the best first call: ask which hotels couples and guests commonly use, how far they are, and how guests travel between the two at the end of the evening. No nearby hotels are named for these venues, so nothing here should be read as a recommendation of one. Our guide to getting guests around a London wedding covers airports, trains and cars.
What to ask before you book rooms
- How many rooms can be held for the wedding, for which nights, and by when they must be released.
- Whether the couple’s suite and the family rooms can be reserved together, and on which floors.
- Check-in and check-out times on the day before and the day after, and whether late departure is possible.
- The room rate for guests, and whether it is the venue’s rate or a negotiated one.
- Whether breakfast is included and where it is served after the wedding.
- Step-free access and rooms adapted for guests who need them.
- Whether rooms count towards any minimum spend, or are charged separately.
