About Royal Retiring Room
8 Boardroom
25 Standing / Reception
When royalty required privacy between acts, they retreated to this particular room, and you'll understand why the moment you enter. The Royal Retiring Room carries the weight of its distinguished past in every detail, from the intricate plasterwork ceiling to the floor-to-ceiling mirrors that have reflected countless notable figures over the decades. We've preserved the original Edwardian character while ensuring the space works perfectly for modern gatherings. The deep red carpeting and velvet-upholstered chairs create an atmosphere that's both grand and welcoming. At the heart of the room sits our polished round table, where up to 8 guests can dine in considerable comfort, or you might arrange the space for standing receptions accommodating up to 25 people. The vintage wooden cabinet and period furnishings aren't just decorative pieces, they're functional elements that our events team incorporates into each setup. Having a private washroom directly accessible means your guests never need to venture into the public areas, maintaining that sense of exclusivity throughout your event. What makes this room particularly special is its connection to the Royal Box and Dress Circle through dedicated access. Some clients use this feature to combine their private gathering with a performance, moving seamlessly between their exclusive space and premium theatre seats. Others simply appreciate the privacy this tucked-away location provides, away from the main public areas. Whether you're planning an intimate celebration, a business dinner where discretion matters, or pre-show entertaining for special guests, the room's versatility surprises many first-time visitors. The combination of historical significance, practical amenities, and that unmistakable atmosphere of a space where important conversations have unfolded for over a century makes every gathering here feel like an occasion.
