Meliá White House hosts meetings, conferences, banquets and wedding receptions for up to 180 people. It offers eight event rooms with 468 square meters of space in all, from a 10-seat coworking room to a combined room for 180 guests. The hotel occupies a Grade II listed 1930s Art Deco building on Albany Street, beside Regent's Park, in London.
Seminars and company events
Most rooms suit a board meeting, a training day or a workshop. Greenwich is the largest single room at 98 square meters, for up to 120 people. St James and Hyde measure 60 square meters each and take 75 people apiece; opened into one room, Hyde & St. James offers 120 square meters for up to 180. Hampstead takes 48, Primrose 40 and Camden 20, which gives breakout rooms around a plenary session. Each event gets a separate high-speed Wi-Fi network, and the audiovisual kit includes screens, projectors and a Meeting Owl system for hybrid sessions with remote participants. An events team handles planning on site.
The hotel also measures the carbon footprint of accommodation, catering and meeting rooms for each event through its Road to Net Zero Events program, a point that helps companies with reporting duties.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel sells weddings and states that wedding banquets are one of its specialties, with catering adapted to each event. Hyde & St. James is the room for the largest receptions, up to 180 guests.
