De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms

Grand place to have a work event - team meeting/roadshow.. Breakfast and lunch were really good. Clean toilets, very lovely building. Good location, close to Holborn Starion in Central London.

Nice venue for big events such as award ceremonies, etc Have been here three times now, and each time, the food and drinks were of really good quality. The position of the tables can sometimes be an issue as it's hard to see the stage directly, although if the event companies put up decent screens, it's not an issue.

We had our wedding at this hall and it was a wonderful experience. The venue was clean, beautifully decorated, and spacious enough for all our guests. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout the event. Everything went smoothly and we couldn’t be happier with how the day turned out. Highly recommend!

We have attended the I Love Claims event at the Grand Connaught rooms annually for the past 7 years. This year I felt compelled to leave feedback, as the customer service we experienced was a disgrace. There were an inadequate number of staff serving at the bar. After waiting 15 minutes to grab the attention of one of the nonchalant bar staff, I was told 2 out of the 3 lagers were not available. I was also unable to purchase a glass of white wine or rose for my guests. The barman eventually "kindly" sold me a bottle of prosecco and but then told me I had to find my own glasses from elsewhere in the venue! I would not have given the starter for my £500/head meal to my pet slug (Picture attached for reference). The main and desert were at best tolerable.

Great venue for our conference event. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I had the pleasure of working with Shannen and Ellie for the event space procurement and planning stages, which went smoothly. On the actual event days, we had a dedicated events person, Aura, who was incredibly on the ball and attentive to details. I'm very thankful to the rest of the staff and catering team, as well as the AV team, all of whom reacted quickly to our requests on site. The location of the venue is also pretty convenient. The building is definitely old but has a certain charm to it. I think most of our conference guests were happy with the venue. I would recommend this establishment but just one thing to note - the building has different wings and can be confusing to navigate. Signages are definitely needed if your event has breakouts in other rooms.

I witnessed countless love stories unfold at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms and is an absolute pleasure to shoot events over there. From the moment you step foot into the grand lobby, you're greeted with an air of elegance and sophistication. The ballroom is a sight to behold, with its sparkling chandeliers and ornate architecture providing the perfect backdrop for a glamorous wedding. If you're exchanging, this venue promises an experience that is nothing short of extraordinary.

Had our Christmas party here. Venue is absolutely stunning, food was good, staff was kind, very beautiful decor. Loved it!

Fantastic location for an event and the 5th floor penthouse is just perfect for summer parties with its plentiful space and rooftop terrace.

I came to this venue for a fashion show and I enjoyed every moment. The architecture reminisces the residence of a govt official. When entering into the building, the doorman and receptionist were very professional, polite and gave us directions leading to the show floor. The hall for the show was an average size and eventually seating was sold out! People were so anxious to view the show; they asked security if they could stand against the wall. During intermission, we could munch on edible flower arrangements made of fruit. I splashed a few strawberries in my glass of Pinot Grigio.

I recently went to an event here to celebrate The Pink Singers 30th year birthday! It was a big achievement for the choir which I'm so proud to be apart of - so we threw a party!! I didn't know what to expect from the venue. I'm always weary of venues that only exists for one off events. Picturing them to be dodgy office spaces. But it was beautiful. The entrance to the hall is sleek and classy, with a wide marble staircase to welcome you into the building. And with such a central location, it's perfect for a large party. There was also a wedding taking place in the venue so there was a lot of excitement around the venue. Walking to the first floor where our event was taking place we were welcomed by a bit of bubbly in the bar room. A cute circular bar in the centre of a wide, wooden floored room really suited the events 1930s theme. I ordered a drink, single JD and coke - and at £8.00 all I can say is I'm glad wine was included with the meal. Dinner was three courses with wine and coffee. At £45 pp it was a bargain. They accommodated all of our weird dietary needs and the food was beautiful. I was not very excited when I saw the menu - starter: Goats cheese tart: Main: Risotto and desert cheesecake - but it was all very beautiful. The best Risotto I've ever had. The service was also impeccable. I've been to wedding dinners and events similar and you can often find yourself waiting around for food for ages, not being able to get anyone's attention. Not here - service was so smooth and friendly. Suitably sozzled after dinner we danced the night away on the main dance floor to the Gay Big Band (A group formed out of the LGSO) who were great. Overall it is a lovely venue with great staff.

Ah, conferences. Is there anything better? I won't go there. But what I WILL say is that you can get completely lost in this venue, dare you try and find the facilities in between panel A and panel B. That said, it's comfortable, and a wonderful spot to have a medium-sized seminar with a great central room for receptions or breakout sessions. (Insert other corporate buzzwords here). But the best part is the location -- could you be any more central? No.

I was actually quite pleased with the layout of the conference rooms, as I went for a job fair that had the exhibitors divided into rooms based on bacground (NGO, charity / corporate). The building was really easy to find, though when people say Covent Garden, it's really closer to Holborn I think on the map, but regardless, a short walk from either. I will say this though, the audio was terrible, some people kept making announcements on the PA and we couldn't understand what they were saying. But the set-up and facilities were all crisp and professional. Also, great location for some after-conference lunching.

Was here in business for 2 days in a meeting room. The place looks grand from the outside and the lobby area. The meeting rooms and corridors would benefit from a minor upgrade/makeover. The coffee and range of snacks served was excellent and good quality, and changed throughout the day. The lunch was amazing and top quality. Its ideal location allows for a great meeting room venue. Its a shame I cant give it 4.5 stars officially because it deserves a tad more than just 4.
