Venue Testimonials
Top class hotel. The food was delicious ten out of ten and the cocktails very nice. The decor was stunning. Very comfortable surroundings. The table service was excellent.
Justina A ·
The hotel itself is beautiful and in a brilliant location. The staff couldn't be more helpful and their customer service was exceptional.
Kim French ·
The staff, the rooms, the food, the service and the atmosphere were top class. Having the right venue and the right staff are two main ingredients for success for any event and the Waldorf delivered big time. Added to this, the food was divine and all of our guests commented on these things!
