Why Hire
De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms combines the scale of a purpose-built conference venue with the architectural character expected from one of London's historic event buildings. The Grand Hall alone can accommodate 1,000 guests standing, 750 theatre-style or 540 for dinner, while the substantial collection of adjoining suites allows organisers to build complex multi-room conferences, exhibitions and evening events within one property.
The location is another major advantage. Sitting between Covent Garden and Holborn, the venue provides easy access from London's mainline stations while giving delegates and guests a genuinely central London setting.
