3. Sundowners & Riverside views at The Tower Hotel's Vicinity bar

Monday 21 June 2021

Earlier this month the VSL team were invited to a fantastic FAM Trip experience at The Tower Hotel's recently refurbished Vicinity Bar and outdoor terrace.  It was the perfect summer's evening to enjoy the venue's riverside views and the versatile event spaces that the hotel has to offer.  

The evening started with welcome drinks served on the beautiful Vicinity Terrace alongside the River Thames,  offering unrivalled views of some of London's most iconic landmarks including the Tower of London and the Shard.  

The recently refurbished Vicinity Restaurant and Bar can accommodate numbers up to 200 for a standing drinks reception.  The terrace offers both indoor and outdoor cover depending on the British weather, including contemporary and stylish features such as individual fire pits and comfortable low-level booths to enjoy the sunset views.  The all-day grazing style catering compliments the relaxed atmosphere that can be enjoyed with the venue's extensive wine and cocktail list.

After drinks were served, the VSL team embarked on an informative site visit of the hotel's event spaces and bedrooms.  Where we learnt about the versatile event spaces and opportunities that we could share and recommend to our client's depending on their brief.

The largest room is the Tower Suite which can accommodate up to 570 standing and 500 seated. Fully refurbished in 2007, this 550m2 space can be divided into three smaller rooms, separated by soundproof walls to ensure complete privacy.

Located on the first floor, The Tower Suite has its own private entrance and foyer area, with magnificent views of Tower Bridge. The Tower hotel can provide movable staging and a dance floor to cater for all types of event, and our in-house AV company can provide on-site technicians as required.

Another amazing space where views of Tower Bridge and the River Thames can be enjoyed is the Tower Foyer and Bridge Suites offering floor-to-ceiling windows offering masses of natural daylight and of course the exceptional riverside views.  The Suite has its own private entrance and reception area perfect for numbers up to 450 standing and 150 seated. 

We were then taken to the hotel's 12th-floor penthouse meeting rooms which have been named after famous ships that helped shape British history.  The meeting rooms boast full 360-degree views of the capital depending on which side of the building you're located in the modern and fresh rooms work perfectly for meetings and smaller dinners.

After exploring the hotel's amazing event spaces we were treated to a special Tower Hotel gift bag as a token of our visit.

We highly recommend The Tower Hotel for celebratory gatherings such as summer and Christmas parties and of course larger scale dinners and conferences.
