Finest Lodges

Located in the heart of central London, only minutes from the cosmopolitan Notting Hill and Hyde Park districts, The Hempel offers a host of beautiful settings for London weddings, meetings, launches, parties and exclusive hires.

Add a natural element to your event with the help of the Zen Garden, our exquisitely sculpted private grounds where scenes from the film Notting Hill were filmed staring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. Plan a fabulous cocktail reception in No. 17, where Portland Stone flooring, two fireplaces, and a private terrace overlooking the garden lend a stylish designer tone. From intimate family affairs to grand gala affairs, The Hempel sets forth a truly exclusive stage for extraordinary celebrations.

The Zen Garden

The Zen Garden is ideal for events and can accommodate up to 350 guests for a reception or 300 guests for a seated dinner in combination with a beautiful marquee. The Hempel has also been appointed as an official Wedding Venue in Westminster and holds three Wedding licences. The hotel is certainly one of the most unique venues for that most special of days, as perfectly illustrated by the wedding scene in the hit movie “Notting Hill” when Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant are married in the hotel’s Garden Square.

The Hempel proudly showcases Gallery and No. 17, sophisticated London hotel private dining venues for impressive corporate events and unforgettable special occasions.
