Our Event Spaces
The John Logie Baird Suite
Our flagship event space — and the beating heart of the V&A's events offer. Vast, versatile and full of atmosphere, the John Logie Baird Suite is where gala dinners, landmark conferences and large celebrations come to life. Uniquely, the suite can be divided into four separate spaces, making it as adaptable as the occasions it hosts. Built-in AV, air conditioning and flexible layouts do the rest.
1844
Named after the year the V&A's building was constructed, the 1844 room is a bright, modern space with floor-to-ceiling windows and a clean, contemporary feel. Ideal for training days, workshops, presentations and private dinners, it offers flexibility and natural light in equal measure.
The Albert Room
Intimate, front-facing and flooded with natural daylight, the Albert Room is the V&A's most refined boardroom setting. With a bespoke setup and views to the front of the hotel, it is the ideal space for executive meetings, senior interviews or confidential discussions that demand the right environment.
The Irwell Suite
Elegant and understated, the Irwell Suite is a light-filled executive boardroom designed for meetings that matter. A beautifully crafted boardroom table, stylish finishes and built-in AV create an environment where focus and creativity thrive — perfect for private discussions, strategy sessions or intimate dinners.
The Victoria Suite
The Victoria Suite is one of the V&A's most characterful event spaces — featuring natural daylight, exposed brickwork and its own private outdoor terrace. Versatile enough to host everything from intimate dinners to drinks receptions, it brings the warmth and character of the building to every occasion.
Our Event Spaces
A Space for Every Occasion
The V&A Hotel offers a collection of beautifully appointed event spaces to suit every occasion. Our flagship John Logie Baird Suite can host large-scale events and divide into four separate spaces for added flexibility. The Victoria Suite offers natural daylight and its own private outdoor terrace, while the 1844 room brings a bright, contemporary feel with floor-to-ceiling windows. For smaller, more intimate occasions, the Albert Room and Irwell Suite provide refined boardroom settings full of character — perfect for private dinners, ceremonies or exclusive gatherings.
