Meetings, Conferences and Private Dining Facilities

William Kent House, the Grade II* listed building adjoining the hotel, features an exquisite collection of lavishly decorated reception rooms. Designed in the 1740’s by the renowned 18^th century architect William Kent, the historic mansion was acquired by The Ritz in 2005. After an extensive period of restoration and renovation, in keeping with its original décor, five new banquet and private dining rooms now provide The Ritz with a varied selection of the finest venue space for elegant dining, weddings, gala occasions and bespoke meetings.

The William Kent Room -

The most opulent of all the banquet rooms, The William Kent Room is a spacious private dining room with seating for up to 24 for lunch or dinner. Featuring the most stunning original architecture in the house, the room is dominated by a breathtaking coved ceiling in grand Italian Renaissance style which is highlighted in gold relief against a brilliant blue and red background.
