Cumberland Hotel

Located on Oxford Street, directly opposite Marble Arch, The Cumberland Hotel is one of central London’s most accessible large-scale event venues. Combining extensive event space with full hotel infrastructure, it is designed to deliver high-volume conferences, exhibitions and corporate events with ease.

With a total capacity of up to 1,000 guests, the venue is built for scale.

The hotel offers over 900 bedrooms on-site, making it particularly well suited to multi-day conferences, residential events and international programmes where accommodation, meeting space and catering all need to sit under one roof.

Catering is structured around efficient, high-quality service for large numbers, with the capability to deliver everything from conference catering and working lunches through to gala dinners and drinks receptions. Back-of-house infrastructure and experienced on-site teams ensure service remains consistent, even at full capacity.
