The Rubens at the Palace is a sophisticated hotel right in the heart of Victoria, with a huge range of spaces available to hire for private events including birthdays, anniversaries, product launches, team away days, engagement parties and intimate celebrations. One of London's smartest hotels, The Rubens quintessentially English styling and luxury decor makes it ideal for events where you want to make a big impression.
The most striking space available to hire is The Leopard Room - the hotel's elegant, private bar. The interiors are particularly unique and opulent, mixing cosy brown leather sofas with pine-panelled walls, antique glassware display cabinets and leopard-print upholstery and carpets. Boasting a well-stocked bar, creative food menus and its own private entrance, The Leopard Bar is a beautiful, high-end venue best suited to sophisticated, intimate occasions. The space can be booked for a maximum of 30 seated guests, or 36 standing, for both sit-down dinners and drinks receptions.
Elsewhere within the hotel there are lots of other suites of varying sizes, many of which can be combined into larger event spaces for big events and receptions. The largest of those is the Van Dyck Suite, which hosts 150 guests for a standing reception, or up to 70 in a banquet layout. If you’re looking for an impressive banqueting suite for a special celebratory meal for up to 40, the Rembrandt Suite is perfect, decked out in pastel shades, period wood-panelling, original fireplace and floor-to-ceiling drapes.
The Rubens also boasts a number of smaller blank canvas rooms, which can easily be adapted to host meetings and corporate occasions that require more AV tech. The Van Gogh Room, for example, is fully equipped with air con, projector and more, and can host all seating setups imaginable.
