At The Clarendon Hotel, we are passionate about sourcing sustainable, high-quality produce and working with local suppliers wherever possible.

For the gin lovers, we have partnered with local distilleries to craft a curated selection of London gins offering a flavourful experience that is sure to be to your liking. 

Room for all your guests 

Picture this – you receive a wedding invitation and have to book your own hotel. With so many guests searching for accommodation in the area, prices surge and there’s no availability. You end up with a hotel miles from the venue and have the added stress of organising transportation to and from the venue – it’s enough to make you want to RSVP ‘no’… 

At The Clarendon Hotel, we have 177 rooms to accommodate your wedding guests, so they can stop worrying about catching the last train or pre-booking a taxi. Instead, they can focus on enjoying the festivities until the last call at the bar, knowing they’re just a short stroll away from one of our comfortable rooms. We also offer a delicious breakfast, a win-win for anyone who may have had one too many gins the night before. 

As an independently owned and operated venue, we pride ourselves on our exceptional service and attention to detail, which is why most of our wedding packages include bed and breakfast for the newlyweds, with discounted hotel accommodations available for your guests.
