RIBA at 66 Portland Place

Located in the heart of Marylebone, RIBA at 66 Portland Place is one of London’s most architecturally significant event venues — a Grade II* listed Art Deco landmark that combines historic grandeur with contemporary event spaces. As the headquarters of the Royal Institute of British Architects, the venue offers a prestigious setting for conferences, receptions, private dining and high-profile corporate events in central London.

Inside, the building’s event spaces balance period architectural detail with modern functionality. Grand proportions, original finishes and abundant natural light create an elegant backdrop, while flexible layouts and integrated technology allow spaces to be tailored to a wide range of event formats. From large-scale conferences and awards ceremonies to refined receptions and executive meetings, 66 Portland Place offers a strong sense of occasion without feeling corporate or generic.

A key highlight is the venue’s recently launched 6th Floor Suite, available for exclusive hire. This self-contained top-floor space includes the Wren Room and Hawksmoor Room, alongside a private landing and wraparound terrace with views across central London. The suite is particularly well suited to VIP meetings, private dinners and discreet drinks receptions, offering privacy, natural light and outdoor breakout space within a prestigious setting.
