30th Birthday Party · 50 guests
Not only is the venue sophisticated, chic and high end. The service from initial visit to planning and the actual event itself was outstanding! Attention to detail was impeccable and the service staff on the evening were absolutely amazing. I could not have asked for more. They did everything to ensure the evening ran smoothly as well as feeling like part of the extended family and made all our guests feel welcome which was an important factor for me. My expectations were exceeded. Yvie has been an absolute pleasure to work with and the Manager on the night Julianna (I believe) was blooming fantastic she was on top of everything at every stage and just amazing - the whole team was fantastic I cannot stress this enough. Thank you so much - the memories of this evening will not be forgotten. I have been inundated with messages and calls from the guests with nothing but compliments!

About St Martins Lane London

Located in the bustling Theatre district in London’s Covent Garden, St Martins Lane London is a dramatic and daring evolution on English luxury. This boutique hotel retains all the youthful, unexpected charm of a London hideaway, at the very heart of the energetic West End. St Martins Lane London is truly a hidden gem.

Guests can begin their journey in The Den, a modern gathering place and decompression zone. Situated just off the lobby, The Den is the perfect place to enjoy afternoon tea or sip a Gin and Tonic. The décor is warm and sophisticated with a tongue-in-cheek British flair – even the art on the walls is irreverent, animating the space with larger-than-life portraits and visual puns.

At night, guests will find a hidden entrance to Blind Spot London, an innovative cocktail bar, behind the tea counter’s posh façade. Blind Spot London is a golden cocktail sanctuary designed like a modern hunting lodge and inspired by the colours and aromas of exotic tea leaves.

Just steps from Trafalgar Square and with wonderful versatile event spaces, St Martins Lane London is ideally located for special occasions, weddings, meetings, product launches and receptions.
