4 sophisticated London hotels with conference facilities

London is renowned for its superb selection of conference facilities. It’s the go-to choice for delegates travelling from all over the world. With so many venues to choose from, pinning down your requirements is key to make sure you get the very best venue for your conference and your delegates.

With delegates travelling from far and wide, it makes perfect sense to find a conference venue that is part of a hotel. For a start, your delegates won’t have to drag luggage between accommodation and the conference venue. Your attendees will welcome the opportunity to be able to stay in the hotel, right at the heart of the action.

If you are organising a big conference, you’ll likely be doing all of the booking and preparation a long time in advance. Choosing a hotel as your preferred venue will give you bargaining power if your delegates are going to be staying at the venue. Many of London’s hotels with conference facilities will offer preferential room rates to conference delegates that choose to stay at the hotel.
