The Nine Kings Suite at Lancaster London is widely acknowledged as Europe’s ultimate venue for product launches, conventions, awards events and exhibitions. Guests approach the Suite via its own street entrance that leads into a reception foyer with space for 600. Alternatively, we can partition the foyer into three sections for breakout rooms, VIP drinks areas – whatever your reception and event requirements.
The main suite is directly adjacent and, with a truly dramatic flourish, can be revealed by raising the dividing partition walls electronically. Within this vast, classically proportioned room – entirely without pillars, with daylight or full blackout – you can accommodate up to 1,000 meeting or banquet attendees. It’s a highly flexible room: we can easily change it from a banqueting to a conference space (the Italian chandeliers retract), or divide it into four separate conference spaces with acoustically dampened partitioning.
The Nine Kings Suite also benefits from a central control room equipped with up-to-date audio-visual technology encompassing sound, lighting and data, complete with maintained tie-lines to keep setup times to a minimum and unsightly cable runs at bay. For events of up to 1,000 people where a variety of setups are required, the Nine Kings Suite can be used in conjunction with the Westbourne Suite directly below.
