Compliance Summary
Location
London Marriott Hotel Marble Arch is located in the heart of London, close to Oxford Street and Hyde Park.
The area combines commercial and residential uses and is easily accessible by public transport, with nearby underground stations and bus routes. Delegates may also arrive by taxi, on foot, or bicycle. Coaches can use George Street for drop-off and pick-up. The hotel manages its own parking with a total of 50 spaces on-site.
The hotel is approximately 25 km from Heathrow Airport, with a travel time of 45–60 minutes by taxi or Heathrow Express via Paddington Station.
Design
Externally, the hotel is a 12-storey 1970s tower featuring a modern and simple façade, with Juliet balconies present on most floors. The interiors reflect a contemporary design aesthetic, resulting from a comprehensive refurbishment completed in 2017. All public areas, guest rooms, and meeting spaces exhibit a cohesive, modern style that aligns with professional standards. Discrete access to meeting areas is available via common guest pathways, though no separate entrance is provided.
Meeting Spaces
The venue offers a total of five meeting rooms over two floors—the mezzanine and first floor. These include the main ballroom, which can be divided into two sections, and four additional syndicate rooms. The Westmacott Suite is the largest, measuring 170 sqm and accommodating up to 170 attendees in a theatre-style layout. The configuration allows for multiple set-ups, including conference, exhibition, and training sessions. All spaces are equipped with modern amenities.
The ability to fully privatise areas ensures control over visibility and privacy when required.
Bedrooms
The hotel contains 240 bedrooms across 12 floors, with accommodation divided into Deluxe King, Family (two Queen beds), and Superior King (with sofa bed) categories. Rooms measure between 23 and 28 sqm. Business-relevant amenities include a work desk, complimentary Wi-Fi, laptop-sized safe, tea and coffee making facilities, mini-fridge, and ironing set. On request, in-room items such as mini-fridges or Nespresso machines can be removed to meet specific compliance needs.
Restaurant and Public Spaces
The Pickled Hen, located on the ground floor, serves as the hotel’s main dining outlet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The restaurant offers a British gastropub menu and seats up to 90 guests. Full privatisation is not available, so private dining should be arranged in a meeting room if exclusivity is required. The venue does not operate other restaurants or dining outlets. While The Pickled Hen can host informal professional groups of up to 80, it is not suitable for presentations or confidential discussions in its public setting.
