The Carlton Club is a luxurious Grade II* listed building in the heart of St James’s. Its majestic exterior boasts lofty windows that provide a glimpse of the splendour within and a grand double entrance door. The spacious terrace to the rear, with its beautiful glass verandas and established planters, is the envy of St James’s and provides its guests with an unrivalled al fresco experience.

Indoors, there’s an enchanting sweeping staircase and three beautiful private dining rooms, all of which are perfect for intimate functions and grand celebrations and are adorned with historical portraits and luxurious furnishings. The largest private room is The Churchill Room. This palatial setting, with grand portraits and gilt-edged walls seats 100 for your ceremony, 94 for the wedding breakfast and 120 for the reception. The Wellington Room’s suitable for dining of up to 70 guests and The Morning Room lends itself well for a reception for up to 100 guests. Bathed in light from St James’s Street, this beautiful room contains the mahogany bar, which remains from the days when this room served as the Members Bar.

With 24 bedrooms, including two larger suits, your guests can stay the night and couples are treated to a bottle of Pol Roger in their Bridal Suite, as a celebratory gift from the Club.
