Floor-to-ceiling windows allow natural light to flood in, complemented by beautiful chandeliers in the evening. Meanwhile, the hotel’s exquisite wrought-iron staircase backed by vivid fleur-de-lis wallpaper has appeared in multiple star-studded film sets.

If you want to get married at a venue steeped in history and elegance, you should not look any further. We have photographed weddings all over the world, and this is one of the best venues we have been lucky enough to work at. Friendly staff and a very special atmosphere.

This is a fantastic venue for a wedding. The Renaissance hotel is full of character and a feel of opulence. Juxtaposed against St Pancras station's modern architecture, with an expanse of glass, steel and polished floors. I often recommend this venue to engaged couples looking for something unique in London.
Eddie O
