The Laslett takes private dinners for up to 20, bar parties for up to 35 and terrace receptions for up to 75, with suites that can be hired as showrooms or for photo shoots. The boutique hotel occupies five Grade II-listed Victorian townhouses at 8 Pembridge Gardens in Notting Hill, London.
Seminars and company events
The hotel suits small company gatherings rather than conferences. The Henderson Bar can be hired for meetings, launches, pop-up shops and celebrations on any day of the week. The Henderson Dining Room works for a board dinner or a client lunch around one table. The suites, bright and adaptable, are offered for trunk shows, showrooms, pop-ups and shoots, which makes the hotel a fit for fashion, design and beauty brands presenting a collection in west London. The site also lists meeting rooms in Notting Hill, with details given on request, and brochures for the bar and the terrace.
Weddings and receptions
The site does not sell weddings as such. Private celebrations, birthday drinks and small receptions take place in the bar and on the terrace, which the hotel offers for afternoon gatherings in fine weather and for evening parties.
Rooms and capacities
The Terrace is a planted outdoor space for up to 75 guests, with flexible hire options. The Henderson Bar holds up to 35 people. The Henderson Dining Room seats up to 20 for private dining and is decorated with British art and design books. The suites carry no stated capacity and are hired for showrooms, pop-ups and photo shoots. Each space is quoted with one maximum figure rather than a list of layouts, so the setup is agreed with the events team.
Accommodation
The hotel has 51 bedrooms and suites spread across the five houses. Room types run from the Spare Room Single and Spare Room Double to the Double Bedroom, the Master Bedroom Double and the Master Bedroom Suite, so a team or visiting clients can stay on site after an evening event.
Catering
Food and drink come from The Henderson Bar and Kitchen, the hotel's own restaurant, which serves breakfast, brunch and dinner. Private dining centers on small plates and dishes with a Mediterranean slant, with full wine and cocktail lists and set menus. Food and drinks for the bar and the terrace are arranged with the same kitchen.
History and setting
The five stucco townhouses date from the Victorian period and are Grade II-listed. The Living Rooms group turned them into a hotel, named after Rhaune Laslett, a local community worker linked to the early days of the Notting Hill Carnival. Portobello Road and its market are a short walk north, and Kensington Gardens lie to the south, which gives visiting teams plenty to do around a meeting.
Getting there
Notting Hill Gate station, on the Central, District and Circle lines, is a short walk from the door. Paddington, with the Heathrow Express and the Elizabeth line, is about 2 km away.
