As London’s corporate calendar fills with year-end celebrations, one West London venue is rapidly climbing the ranks for businesses seeking scale, flexibility and style. Fresh from a £30-million refurbishment, the dual-brand Mercure and ibis London Earls Court is positioning itself as one of the capital’s most adaptable event spaces, and just in time for the festive season.
Located between Fulham and Chelsea, the 508-room property now boasts state-of-the-art facilities that blend the two Accor brands under one roof. The overhaul, completed in 2024, has introduced communal areas designed to encourage interaction among business and leisure guests, while refreshing all 226 Ibis rooms and 282 Mercure rooms to contemporary standards.
The crown jewel, however, is The London Suitespace: West London’s largest, and arguably most versatile, conference and events venue. Spanning 1,260 square metres, the pillarless main ballroom can accommodate up to 1,200 people, making it suitable for large-scale corporate galas, award ceremonies, or high-profile festive parties. For more intimate events, movable walls allow the space to be configured into smaller rooms, accommodating groups as small as 24.
A 250-guest pre-function area sets the scene for welcome drinks, while direct ground-floor loading access enables large builds, elaborate sets, or themed décor. An additional suite of meeting rooms on the second floor provides further flexibility for gatherings of 2 to 50 people. Businesses can even reserve the entire floor, including guestrooms, offering a fully self-contained setup ideal for sports teams, entertainment tours, or multi-day seminars.
This season, the venue is also opening its doors for festive parties, offering buffet (£55 per person) or plated (£59 per person) Christmas dining options, a timely launch as companies look to secure celebration spaces across the city.
Guests booking events through Accor’s ALL Meeting Planner programme can earn both reward and status points, collecting one point of each for every two euros spent across more than 2,400 participating hotels worldwide.
Beyond the meeting spaces, the hotel is home to Barnaby’s Kitchen and Lounge, a 130-seat British restaurant serving classics with a contemporary twist. The semi-private dining room accommodates up to 15 guests, while a separate bar and lounge pours signature cocktails and hosts relaxed gatherings, from live sport screenings to evening drinks. Conference delegates and hotel guests can fuel their day with a full English buffet breakfast before returning later for an à la carte dinner.
