Royal Lancaster London Weddings
This stunning mid-century architectural icon now transformed into a 21st-century luxury hotel in central London promises a spectacular setting for couples looking to tie the knot. With a selection of luxurious indoor spaces and convenient transportation options, it is no wonder that the Royal Lancaster is a sought-after venue, especially for large cultural weddings.
The Scene at Royal Lancaster London
Royal Lancaster is located in one of London’s coveted neighbourhoods – Bayswater – overlooking the famed Italian Gardens in Hyde Park. From here, guests can also enjoy breathtaking views of the city skyline. Famous tourist attractions like Notting Hill, Oxford Street and Kensington are a short stroll away from the hotel.
The hotel’s modern interiors are decked in luxe finishes, stylish lighting, marble flooring and plush carpeting. If you’re unsure which suite/room works best for you, we suggest starting with the Nine Kings Suite for large wedding gatherings. For smaller wedding functions, consider taking a look at the Beech Suites.
Royal Lancaster London Wedding Ceremonies
Nine Kings Suite is one of the hotel’s most versatile event spaces, making it ideal for cultural weddings and Mandap ceremonies. The floor-to-ceiling windows of this suite bring in an abundance of natural light, lending softness and magic to a day-time ceremony. The dazzling retractable chandeliers add a dash of drama and glamour, creating a spectacular backdrop in the evenings. With the suite’s distinctive ‘L’ shaped layout, you could create two separate areas, one for the Mandap ceremony and one for a seated dinner reception.
Royal Lancaster London Wedding Receptions
If you’re looking for an unforgettable venue for your wedding reception, Royal Lancaster has the choicest selection of glamorous event spaces on offer.
The ground-level Nine Kings suite is a colossal ballroom with a capacity of 980 seated dinner guests or 1050 for a dinner and dance. A luxurious space with dazzling chandeliers and plush interior design – the suite is one of the largest wedding spaces in London. The room’s neutral palette allows you the flexibility to style the wedding space based on your personal preferences.
Westbourne Suite has a similar capacity as its Nine Kings counterpart. It offers space for 780 seated dinner guests or 1500 for a standing reception. The colour-changing lights in this room can replicate the night sky, creating an unforgettable setting for any wedding reception. This highly adaptable room – with three partition walls and a state-of-the-art audio system – can be designed to suit a multitude of wedding traditions.
Beech Suite is designed for smaller wedding receptions of up to 150 guests. Thanks to its minimalist interior design, you’ll be able to transform the space with your choice of wedding decorations and accessories. Audiovisual capabilities here are the same as the Westbourne and Nine Kings Suites. Guests can also enjoy the lush outdoor views from the floor-to-ceiling windows in this suite.

Venue Testimonials
A lovely venue! Great open space including the foyer and function room the toilets were clean and tidy and the staff welcoming and very helpful. I attended an awards ceremony for work and had the most amazing evening. The food was to a high standard and all the staff including their employees and agency staff were on top form. Great job!

Attended a conference, didn’t have the privilege of staying, but if the food at the conference is anything to go by wow! The staff were fabulous in keeping up with replenishing and there was never a dirty plate or glass in sight. It’s also in a brilliant location with the tube station being directly behind the hotel and it is situated at the top of Hyde Park!
