Egerton House hosts board meetings, round-table discussions, private dinners, afternoon teas and drinks receptions for up to 20 guests, in the Dining Room of a 28-room hotel. The hotel occupies a red-brick Victorian townhouse from 1843 at 17-19 Egerton Terrace in Knightsbridge, London, and belongs to the family-owned Red Carnation Hotel Collection.
Seminars and company events
The Dining Room can be reserved for exclusive use, and the hotel can extend that to some of its public spaces for a private event. Meetings take up to 16 people, with a choice of a light lunch, refreshments through the day or full catering. The hotel lists salon-style talks, interviews, round-table discussions, by-appointment fashion fittings and client viewings among the formats it handles, as well as stays for visiting delegations. For a team that needs a discreet setting near the museums and shops of South Kensington, the scale suits a leadership meeting, a client lunch or a small product presentation. A dry hire option without catering is available in the afternoon, between noon and 6 pm.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel does not stage wedding ceremonies, but it hosts smaller family occasions: birthdays, anniversaries, christenings, graduations and baby showers. Wedding parties staying in the house can gather in the Lounge for a champagne reception before leaving for the ceremony, and drinks receptions of up to 20 guests can be held in the Dining Room.
Rooms and capacities
The Dining Room takes 12 guests for a private lunch or dinner, 16 for a meeting or an afternoon tea, and 20 for a standing drinks reception. The Lounge is used for pre-wedding gatherings, with no capacity stated. Other public rooms can be added to an exclusive booking on request.
Accommodation
There are 28 rooms, from Classic Doubles of 16 square meters to Deluxe Kings of 25 square meters, some with full-height bay windows, plus suites. Interconnecting rooms sleep four or five people. The hotel also handles group bookings, which helps when a delegation or a family needs several rooms in the same house.
Catering
Menus are designed by the head chef after a first conversation with the organizer, and dietary requirements and allergies are handled when shared in advance. The house is known for its traditional afternoon tea, served in The Tea Room, and drinks come from The Bar.
History and setting
The townhouse dates from 1843 and stands on a residential terrace in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The Victoria and Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum are within walking distance, as are Kensington Palace and the Royal Albert Hall.
Getting there
The address is 17-19 Egerton Terrace, London SW3 2BX. South Kensington and Knightsbridge Underground stations are both a short walk away, and Heathrow can be reached by the Piccadilly line.
