Hire the perfect Christmas party venue in Mayfair

Home of the English-Speaking Union, Dartmouth House is one of Mayfair's most handsome event spaces — and it comes into its own at Christmas. The elegant period interiors, sweeping reception rooms, and outdoor courtyard make for a natural festive setting that requires little decoration to feel the part.

Exclusive hire of the full house accommodates up to 350 standing, with seated dinner options for up to 150. The range of spaces across the building — from intimate drawing rooms to grander reception areas — makes it equally well-suited to smaller seated dinners and larger celebratory parties. Just minutes from Berkeley Square and Green Park station, it's one of the more straightforwardly impressive Mayfair Christmas party venues available to hire.

Set over three gorgeously decorated floors, Hide successfully directs the luxury energies of Mayfair into something tasteful, striking and delicious. At the centre of your Christmas party will be the iconic wooden staircase which snakes it's way across the three distinct floors of the restaurant.

Whilst the aesthetic appeal of Hide is undeniable, it's the Christmas meal that you'll want to savour. With everything being made in-house wherever possible: from charcuterie & bread to jams, juices and pickles, you can be sure that you'll be enjoying a truly bespoke Christmas meal with whoever's lucky enough to be sitting at your table.

Six Park Place sits in the heart of St James's and brings serious heritage credentials to the Mayfair Christmas party circuit. The Grade I listed building houses a range of distinctive spaces — from the grand Princess Alexandra Hall to more intimate dining rooms — each carrying the kind of period detail that does the decorating for you.

Bespoke Christmas packages are available from £108 per person, with themes spanning Disco Luxe, Festive Art Deco, and Classic Christmas. Seated dinners can be arranged for up to 120 guests, with standing capacity for 180. Two minutes from Green Park station, the location is as central as Mayfair gets.

The Colnaghi Gallery in Mayfair presents an exceptional opportunity to orchestrate a memorable Christmas party amidst one of the most distinguished Old Master art galleries in the world. Situated in the historic and fashionable district of Mayfair, this sophisticated, modern venue is an idyllic setting for upscale holiday gatherings in intimate surroundings.

Its galleries and library transform into perfect spaces for daytime and evening festive events, such as holiday cocktail parties, exclusive yuletide dinners, or corporate holiday celebrations. Provided at competitive rates, these spaces come equipped with internet and audio-visual facilities, to ensure your holiday event at Colnaghi is nothing short of spectacular.

For a Christmas party with a little more edge, Palm Beach Casino's private Lounge ticks a different kind of box. Plush interiors, a private bar, and a casino backdrop set the scene for an evening that's unlikely to feel like any other office party on the calendar. The space accommodates up to 110 standing and comes with full AV, bespoke catering, and dedicated Christmas drinks and canapé packages.

It's a self-contained, exclusive hire option that works particularly well for smaller teams looking for something more intimate and memorable than a shared party night. Green Park station is a two-minute walk.

Lots of venues gesture towards the illustrious excess of the 1920s London, well Quaglino's was actually born in it. Opening in 1929, the underground bar, theatre and good-time mecca carved its mark on the aristocratic party circles with a gold-trimmed flair. Frequent punters include (get ready): the Mountbattens, Evelyn Waugh, Edward, Prince of Wales and Mrs Simpson, King Alfonso of Spain and even Queen Elizabeth herself. Now you can breathe.

Today, Quaglino’s retains its early twentieth-century charm, with regular performances, theatrical drinks and a stunning art-deco interior. For a Christmas party fit for a monarch, this is the real deal.
