Description:

The Zen Garden is an amazing treasure that is solely for the private use of hotel guests. Enclosed by a six-foot hedge and beautiful trees, three squares of raked Italian marble pebbles surround three perfectly symmetrical slate-lined ponds, offering guests a peaceful green refuge in the heart of London.

The Zen Garden is available for events and can accommodate up to 350 guests for a reception, or 300 guests for a seated dinner in combination with a beautiful marquee.

The Hempel has also been appointed as an official Wedding Venue in Westminster and holds three wedding licences. The hotel is certainly a unique venue for that most special of days, as perfectly illustrated by the wedding scene in the hit movie Notting Hill, when Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant are married in the hotel’s Garden Square.
