Approached though Claridge's prestigious Brook Street banqueting entrance, a gentle flight of stairs leads expectant guests into the imposing and recently refurbished Ballroom Reception area. The setting of many a society wedding, ball and state banquet, Claridge's Ballroom is also a prestigious venue for cocktail receptions on a grand scale. It accommodates 400 for receptions or 250 for dining - and up to 650 guests in combination with the Mirror Room, French Salon or Drawing Room. It has its own entrance, reception area, marble Rotunda and cloakroom.
