Your London Wedding - May/June 2020 (Issue 71)

ST ERMIN’S HOTEL Long known as the ‘wedding cake’ hotel for its opulent and romantic spaces, London’s iconic St Ermin’s Hotel is a memorable big-day location. Distinctly individual, this Grade II listed gem boasts some of central London’s most dramatic public spaces. A sense of occasion is guaranteed from first arrival to the beautiful white lobby with curving central staircase, balcony mezzanine and continues in the Crystal Ballroom and Cloisters Suite, where up to 150 guests can join the celebrations. What’s more, featuring a beautiful, recently restored courtyard garden and pretty outdoor terrace, a working organic rooftop kitchen garden and a Bee Terrace – home to the hotel’s very own urban bee colony – there’s a lot more happening outside St Ermin’s than in most central London hotels.
