The Cumberland Hotel is one of London’s premier venues for business meetings and other events. With their own private entrance and lift access, our meetings and events facilities are completely separate from the rest of the hotel, but share its striking design and impeccable service standards.
Grouped into two zones – Green and Aqua – they offer a huge choice of sizes and layouts for board and team meetings, training sessions, presentations, interviews and private dining for between 10 and 120 people.
All our meeting rooms are air-conditioned and fully equipped with LCD projectors and screens, plus BT Wi-Fi internet access. You also have a huge choice of food and drink in The Market, our dedicated dining area offering five different types of cuisine freshly prepared in open ‘theatre’ kitchens.
From your initial enquiry to the last guest’s departure, our friendly, experienced team will be on hand to provide all the advice and practical help you need.
The Arena is the largest event room at The Cumberland Hotel, London, with 414 m2 of space. Inspired by contemporary design, it boasts a unique ‘wave-form’ ceiling, and ‘light-walls’ that change colour to create the perfect mood and ambience.
Working with our partners, and our own in-house events manager, you will have access to a huge range of AV equipment, making The Arena one of the most popular event venues near Hyde Park for conferences, awards ceremonies, fashion shows and product launches. And while it’s big enough to accommodate 400 people, The Arena retains a remarkably intimate feel. So when you’ve got something important to say, you can be sure no one’s going to miss a word of it.

Lovely atmosphere in a very aesthetic restaurant, great location near Marble Arch! Fantastic value for money as we booked through FirstTable and received 50% off the food bill. Serving staff were very friendly and accommodating, especially Dario. Fun quirky serving robot too! Would’ve been better if the live music started earlier.

Enjoyed our bottomless brunch here at the Sound cafe inside the Cumberland hotel. Food was very good, as was the excellent service by our waiter, who kept our drinks fully topped up. Great setting in what used to be the Hard Rock cafe.

The food was stunning - had a 12 Oz steak and it was very tasty. The entertainment - the mowtown memoirs were excellent. The 3 star review however is because the service was terrible - I visited on a Sunday evening and it wasn't incredibly busy however the service was shockingly slow, the waiter was rude and to the point, never came to check up on the food and took over 30 minutes to get the bill at the end. I would like to come back for the food and I hope this was a one off!

We attended due a voucher given to me for my Birthday for bottomless brunch. Upon arrival the voucher was abruptly demanded despite it being attached to the booking as requested by the booking team previously. When we were sat down it was explained that it was a starter, main and desert, but the menu clearly said main and desert. The server was completely new and had little to no support from other colleagues. We asked to upgrade to bottomless cocktail, and this took half hour to be implemented before we got our first cocktail. Food was nice but didn’t justify the price tag. The cocktails were lovely but we regularly had to chase our waiter to get another drink, and only managed to order 4 in the 90min. Our waiter appeared to regularly ignore us, although I suspect he was struggling to cover the vast number of tables on his own being new. It took an hour to get our desert after the main, which was very small in size, the wrong desert menu was brought initially and I had to go and swap it myself. Robot would regularly pull up at our table with the food some time before waiter so we could have served our self There seemed to be a bit of confusion and they thought it was my birthday and a robot brought some ice cream, we didn’t eat it as ice cream and cocktails does not mix well. It took us a further 40mins to get the bill and found that a ridiculous 14% service charge had been added, the waiter just stuck the card reader down and expected us to pay it. Awful service and not worth the hype.
