Perched on the banks of the Thames in the award-winning Falcon Wharf development, Banyan on the Thames at Hotel Rafayel is a hidden gem for parties, private dinners, corporate events and everything in between. Set within one of London’s first eco-luxury hotels, this riverside spot delivers serious style with a side of sustainability - perfect for those looking to host an event with impact.
Whether you’re planning a birthday bash, business meeting, cocktail reception or product launch, Banyan on the Thames offers a versatile and impressive setting. The hotel’s third-floor event space can host up to 150 guests, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing sweeping views over the river. For something even more showstopping, head to the 17th-floor roof terrace - an exclusive space with uninterrupted 360-degree views across London. It’s the kind of backdrop that turns a great party into a memorable one.
If it’s business rather than bubbly on the agenda, Rafayel’s boardroom is equipped with the latest AV and networking facilities, seating 12 for high-level meetings. You’ll also find a peaceful library for breakouts or working sessions, and a wellbeing spa and gym to wind down once the deals are done.
Food-wise, the Banyan kitchen serves up fresh, flexible options for any style of gathering. Working buffet lunches feature everything from paninis and mozzarella sticks to fruit platters and juice, while private dinners can be tailored to suit. And when the formalities are over, the hotel’s champagne bar and Havana Dreams cigar lounge offer the perfect place to toast the occasion.
With a dedicated team of event managers on hand to take care of every detail, you can focus on your guests while they handle the logistics. Add in smart rooms for those who want to stay over, a commitment to low-impact luxury, and a location that’s as convenient as it is striking—and Banyan on the Thames makes a seriously strong case for your next event.
