The Westminster Collection

The Westminster Collection is proud to announce it has welcomed four new members to its prestigious collection- Royal Horseguards Hotel, Berry Bros. & Rudd, Shepherd’ s of Westminster and The Clubhouse London. These venues join the exclusive collection which champions the borough of Westminster and the diversity of venues available amongst the iconic sites.
Perfectly situated on the banks of the River Thames right in the heart of the Capital, The Royal Horseguards is opposite the famous London Eye and within easy reach of the key business centres as well as tourist and cultural landmarks of Westminster. Following a complete multi-million pound refurbishment focusing on maintaining its essential British character and pedigree, the hotel offers the latest in stateof-the-art technology and boasts 282 perfectly appointed bedrooms and suites, many with beautiful river and city skyline views.
Joining the collection alongside The Royal Horseguards Hotel is Berry Bros. & Rudd, fine wine and spirit specialists with event spaces on St James’ s Street, Westminster. The venue offers a range of hospitality options, from tutored or walk-around tastings to canapé-and-wine pairing quizzes and blind tastings. Guests can choose between the historic cellars or the Townhouse and enjoy an unrivalled selection of wine from their 4,000-bottle collection alongside exceptional food.
Iconic restaurant Shepherd’ s of Westminster has also joined The Westminster Collection. The restaurant in Marsham Court boasts a rich and varied history and is widely used by politicians, diplomats, journalists and lobbyists as well as having a strong business clientele. The two private dining
rooms, seating up to eight and up to 32, provide a discrete and elegant meeting space and can be booked for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, round tables or receptions. For larger functions, the whole restaurant can be hired exclusively allowing guests complete privacy for their event.
London’ s only dedicated Westminster venue consortium, The Westminster Collection has recently welcomed the first dedicated business club, The Clubhouse, to its membership. Founded in 2012 by Adam Blaskey, The Clubhouse was created as a solution to uninspiring and unproductive meeting rooms around London and aims to provide its clients with a smarter, efficient alternative to outdated corporate spaces.
The venue, located in St James Square, offers a multitude of corporate services that reflect the modern working world including flexible meeting areas, dedicated desks, hot desks and a virtual office designed specifically for the evolving demands of contemporary professionals.
