We had our civil partnership ceremony in this hotel April 2006. The hotel is in the old Greater London Council building. As you can imagine this building was very grandoise when it was the GLC. Marriott have kept the wood panneling, oil paintings and ambiance of the time.
Our ceremony was held in The Library with great views over the River Thames toward The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Our wedding breakfast was in The Parliament Suite on the 5th floor with stunning views over the Thames and as it got dark and the lights started twinkling the view was unforgettable.
Rooms are a bit expensive £175 b&b (standard room) £204 b&b (riverview room) We paid for a riverview room and were upgraded to the honeymoon suite free of charge!
We had a very specific menu in mind; Haggis, neeps, tatties as a starter with roast beef, yorkies & parnips and banoffee pie to follow. We found the per head price which included half a bottle of pinot grigio was very reasonable compared to prices here in Scotland.
Overall we had no complaints. the only downside was the price of drinks. Two glasses of wine cost almost £15.
I would recomend anyone to use this hotel as a base for a weekend away. It is a two minute walk from Westminster tube, right next door to the BA London Eye and central for everything.
If you are looking for a romantic weekend then the County Hall is the one for you. There is a spa on site to pamper you (payable directly)
Or if you would like a very special wedding or civil partnership then use this hotel. The events team & banqueting manager do everything they can to help and nothing is too much bother.
Whatever you do have a brilliant time at this hotel.
