Grand Hotel Bellevue London is a boutique hotel in Paddington for small executive meetings, confidential workshops and private cocktail receptions. The Great Green Room seats up to 22 guests, the neighboring Green Room hosts up to 15, and the Pondicherry Bar can be hired for 15 guests standing. Bedrooms are on site, so a short working day can end with an overnight stay for the whole group.
Seminars and company events
The hotel presents its meeting space as a discreet alternative to a conventional conference center. The rooms are small, so the format suits board sessions, strategy days, client workshops and any gathering where privacy matters more than headcount. Both rooms have natural daylight, flexible layouts, a connected screen, high-speed Wi-Fi and tea and coffee facilities. Snacks are available on request.
The Great Green Room is booked for hours from 12:00 to 21:00, which fits an afternoon session followed by an early evening drink. The hotel does not describe morning use on its meeting page, so ask the events team about start times if you need a full day.
For a less formal format, the Pondicherry Bar can be hired privately. The hotel suggests incentive groups, networking evenings, client entertainment, press launches and cocktail receptions. The bar offers bespoke cocktails with a private bartender and holds 15 guests cocktail style.

History and setting
The building is a Victorian residence on Norfolk Square, a quiet garden square in Paddington. The interiors were designed by architect Fabrizio Casiraghi, who combined fireplaces and soft furnishings with contemporary touches. The Pondicherry Bar has walls covered in embroidery made for the hotel by Bode. The hotel belongs to the Lignée Hotels group, which also runs hotels in Paris, Angers and Bordeaux.
Getting there
The hotel is at 25-27 Norfolk Square, London W2 1RX, five minutes from Paddington station and about 20 minutes from Heathrow Airport. The Paddington Cube workspaces, Hyde Park and Little Venice are close by. Guests arriving from Heathrow or from the north via St Pancras both reach the hotel on public transport without a change of area.
