Venues, Venues, Venues
There have been some fabulous new venues open recently including Raffles London at the OWO, The Peninsula, The BoTree and The Broadwick Soho in London, The Post Barn near Newbury in Berkshire and Port Lympne’s stunning new Orangery. It is so exciting visiting these new venues and seeing the potential of their event spaces – it certainly gets the creative juices flowing with possibilities….
There are also more on the horizon for 2024! Here are a few I am really excited about!
The Other House, Covent Garden
This new luxury hotel is going to feature a pool, gym, wellness studios and a rooftop terrace, together with some amazing dining venues such as The Other Kitchen Cafe and the Owl & Monkey Cocktail Bar. Consisting of seven separate historic buildings, including a former rectory, with plans to include a four-storey internal glazed atrium and an additional three-floor extension, this new hotel is going to be a definite must see for me!
The Zetter Bloomsbury will be the first new property from the Zetter Hotels group in 10 years. Fusing together six 300-year-old townhouses to create the hotel, it will be located just steps away from the British Museum. With plans for a gym, alfresco garden restaurant and terrace, and 71 guestrooms, there will be a Georgian aesthetic for the interiors with antique furniture and restored original detailing.
The Orangery at Blenheim Palace
In 2024, the doors to Blenheim Palace’s revitalised Orangery are opening for private gatherings. It will be the ideal setting for private parties and celebrations, a variety of corporate events and more. The Orangery, restored to its former glory, now embraces a captivating bar area and seating arrangement for up to 120 guests. The designers have successfully merged contemporary chic with timeless charm, which has amplified the allure of this stunning historic venue, creating a unique and memorable exclusive event destination. It’s just on my doorstep and I can’t wait to explore!
Nestled in the pretty village of Kington Langley in north Wiltshire, Kin House is a Grade II listed manor house set among walled gardens and private woodland. Available for exclusive hire, this stunning house will be able to host everything from woodland lunches and workshops to team retreats, launch events, photoshoots and beautiful celebrations for up to 200 people.
A place with a definite wow factor is new restaurant, Jacuzzi in west London. Spread over four floors and with 170 seats, this stunning space is crammed with Italian treasures from Roman statues to Murano glass! It is definitely an amazing option for very special events, and don’t even get me started on the food – it looks and sounds divine!
