The Zetter Clerkenwell is a boutique hotel at 49-50 St John's Square in London that hosts meetings, private dinners, receptions and weddings. Its two event rooms take 20 and 50 guests, and the whole townhouse can be hired exclusively for a larger private celebration. It suits executive meetings, small board dinners, client receptions and intimate weddings rather than large conferences.
Seminars and company events
The hotel offers meeting rooms and lists the Dining Room for meetings as well as dinners. The Dining Room holds up to 20 guests and sits beside The Parlour, the hotel's cocktail bar and small-plates room, so a working session can move on to drinks in the same building. The site does not publish layouts such as boardroom or theatre capacities, or the equipment in each room, so these need to be confirmed with the events team. The Zetter also runs a corporate membership across its London hotels, aimed at local businesses and visiting teams, which may matter if you book often.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a stated part of the offer. The formats named on the site are an intimate wedding lunch, a wedding ceremony and exclusive hire for a larger party. The Games Room is listed for sit-down wedding brunches, cocktail parties, launches, birthdays and baby showers, with a maximum of 50 guests. For a celebration that needs more space or privacy, the townhouse can be taken over as a whole.
Rooms and capacities
There are two event rooms. The Dining Room takes up to 20 guests and is used for intimate dinners, meetings and private drinks receptions. The Games Room takes up to 50 guests and is the room for cocktail parties and brunches. Beyond these, exclusive hire opens the entire townhouse for private celebrations. The site does not state seated, standing or boardroom figures for each room, so ask for the setup that matches your format.
Accommodation
The hotel has bedrooms, and the room types named on the site are the Residence, Deluxe Rooms, Deluxe Double and Junior Suite. The number of bedrooms and the guest capacity of each type are not published. If your event needs overnight stays for a group, ask how many rooms can be held alongside the event booking.
Catering
Seasonal menus are available for private lunches and dinners, and a PDF of events menus is linked on the hotel's events page. The Parlour serves classic cocktails and small plates and can anchor a drinks reception. Details of service styles and dietary options are not given on the site.
History and setting
The Zetter Clerkenwell is one of the hotels in the Zetter collection, which also includes the Marylebone and Bloomsbury hotels. The group describes its houses as set in buildings with history, and the Clerkenwell hotel is presented as a quiet retreat in the middle of old London, on St John's Square.
Getting there
The hotel is at 49-50 St John's Square, London EC1V 4JJ, in Clerkenwell. Confirm the nearest station and the best arrival route with the events team when you enquire.
