Five-star service, iconic interiors, and unforgettable guest experiences
London is home to some of the most iconic hotels in the world, each with its own distinct personality, impeccable service and beautifully styled spaces. Whether you are planning an elegant wedding, an intimate dinner or a milestone celebration, these venues offer the perfect blend of privacy, polish and prestige.
At Natalie Hewitt Events, we have had the pleasure of working in many of the city’s most exceptional hotels, from grand ballrooms to tucked away private dining rooms. Below, we are sharing a few of our favourites. These are venues we know well, love dearly and would wholeheartedly recommend to couples looking to celebrate in timeless style.
CLARIDGE’S MAYFAIR
A London icon that’s anything but ordinary
Few venues are as recognisable or as revered as Claridge’s. Known for its Art Deco interiors, old school glamour and world class service, it is the kind of place that makes any occasion feel truly special. Yet despite its prestige, Claridge’s feels warm, welcoming and wonderfully personal. That sense of character and charm is something we truly value in a venue.
We have planned weddings here on multiple occasions and are always struck by the calm professionalism of the team. Nothing is too much trouble, and they truly understand the art of making guests feel completely looked after. Whether you are hosting a ceremony in the Drawing Room, cocktails in the French Salon or a candlelit reception in the Ballroom, the flow of the day is seamless.
Planner Note: We’ve worked with the team at Claridge’s several times and they are truly outstanding: collaborative, warm, and incredibly accommodating. A dream setting for couples who love classic elegance.
THE CONNAUGHT, MAYFAIR
Elegant, intimate, and effortlessly chic
Just around the corner from Claridge’s, The Connaught is an equally refined but slightly more intimate option. It has a quiet glamour about it, understated, stylish and deeply luxurious.
We have worked here on many occasions, from a winter wedding for one hundred guests to a tiny fifteen person ceremony and an intimate dinner party. The food is exceptional, the interiors are rich and romantic, and the team are always an absolute pleasure to work with.
There is something truly special about the way events unfold at The Connaught. Guests move effortlessly from one beautifully lit space to the next, with flawless service and a real sense of occasion.
Planner Note: We’ve planned everything from intimate weddings to grand celebrations here, and it never disappoints. The staff are warm, the spaces are elegant, and the food is always incredible.
THE LONDONER, LEICESTER SQUARE
Contemporary, creative, and made for celebration
A bold and brilliant newcomer to London’s hotel scene, The Londoner is modern, flexible and full of creative potential. With dramatic interiors and multiple event spaces, it is ideal for couples looking to do something a little different.
We recently planned a large wedding here, following a beautiful ceremony at Fitzrovia Chapel. The couple wanted a contemporary setting where they could design something completely bespoke, and The Londoner gave us exactly that. From floral installations to late night lighting transitions, we had complete freedom to build a setting that felt truly theirs.
Planner Note: The Londoner is a fantastic blank canvas for couples who want to create something unique. It’s also perfect for international clients wanting a modern setting in a central London location.
THE LANESBOROUGH, HYDE PARK CORNER
Grand, graceful, and full of warmth
Overlooking Hyde Park, The Lanesborough blends heritage elegance with a sense of warmth and intimacy that can be hard to find in larger hotels. The interiors are sumptuous, with rich fabrics, chandeliers and Regency charm, but the atmosphere remains quietly welcoming.
We have planned a fortieth birthday dinner party here and have attended numerous beautifully hosted events by their Head of Events. Whether you are in the Belgravia Room for an intimate gathering or the St George’s Room for something more formal, every detail feels beautifully thought through.
Planner Note: The Lanesborough is a hidden gem. It offers classic London grandeur but with a surprisingly personal feel, ideal for refined celebrations and milestone events.
