The May Fair Hotel

The hotel's grand ballroom, set beneath a six-metre Baccarat crystal chandelier that has hung here for close to a century. Completely secluded with its own entrance and cloakroom, the room takes up to 260 for a seated dinner or 370 for a standing reception, with room for a dance floor and a stage. A retractable divider lets the space open in stages through an evening, and a private staircase connects down to the Screening Room. A house sound system, programmable lighting and an on-site technician support live performance and DJ-led nights.

A 201-seat private cinema reached by a staircase from the Crystal Ballroom, with deep upholstered seating, a full-width screen and a stage area for presentations and panels. It hosts premieres, product launches and screenings, supported by a house sound system and an on-site technician, and pairs naturally with a reception in the ballroom above.

The hotel's signature social space, reimagined with curved velvet banquettes, a marble-topped bar and clusters of frosted orb lighting, set against a contemporary art display curated with Maddox Gallery. All-day cocktails run into the evening with the occasional live music set, and the whole room can be taken exclusively for a private party.

A self-contained suite paired with a glass-roofed atrium, used for receptions and seated dinners away from the main event floor. Natural light fills the atrium by day, while the adjoining suite takes round-table banquets of up to 100 or standing receptions of 140. Its own entrance and an adaptable layout suit launches, celebrations and corporate evenings.

A discreetly tucked-away suite with antique walnut parquet, dark wood panelling and an opulent green marble fireplace, served by its own fully stocked bar and a curtain divider for flexible layouts. It opens directly onto a heated open-air terrace under a canopy, so dinner can spill into a reception with music well into the evening.

A secluded, velvet-lined soiree space set in a corner of The May Fair Bar, with its own marble bar, dedicated entrance and heavy velvet curtains drawn for complete privacy. Intimate enough for a private celebration, with the bar's music and atmosphere just beyond the drapes.
