One Aldwych, London is an odd shaped building, basically it is in a V, and a great deal of it is underground. However, the hotel has a nice feel, it’s right in London’s theatre land and consequently it’s very much on the visitor/tourist list.
For the events organiser looking for small, modern meeting rooms in central London, there are some good choices. The VG has tried on many occasions to book the screening room, but as a unique room I can understand its popularity, particularly with media companies. The screening room holds 30 max and has luxurious, wide leather seats and hi tech AV system which makes for a great venue for small meetings and presentations. Alternatively, you could even use it as private movie theatre for groups - the hotel will even supply the popcorn!

Another area the VG liked is the semi private dining area located above the restaurant. The great thing about this space is, you have your own bar, are out of sight of the other diners, but have the atmosphere of the restaurant below, so none of that “locked in four walls” experience which a lot of private dining rooms have.
Bedrooms are classic and understated but smart none the less. There didn’t appear to be laptop safes in the rooms, but then One Aldwych is considered first and foremost an independent traveller’s hotel rather than totally business events focussed.
For a smallish London hotel, it has an excellent Spa and swimming pool complete with underwater music. The lobby has the most amazing contemporary flora displays, (see Amaryllis Christmas tree) but then art and design is a key feature of this hotel. In the lobby you can still see signs that this building was once a Bank and it’s obvious there’s been some money spent on this hotel. ©eventoptions
