About this space

Private Section is a Function Room in Abbots Barton Hotel defined by botanical-patterned wall panelling that frames a contained private dining and meeting area.

Design: The room has high ceilings, moulded cornices and a herringbone parquet floor combined with a jewel-tone palette and a statement pendant light. The décor uses deep greens, brass lighting accents and tailored soft furnishings for a composed, refined finish.

Features: The Private Section contains a central table arranged for seated use and can be rearranged for alternate layouts. Banquette seating lines one wall and is supplemented by upholstered chairs and side surfaces for serving or presentation. The room provides natural daylight, integrated pendant and wall lighting, complimentary Wi‑Fi and step‑free, wheelchair‑accessible entry.

Ideal for: Groups wanting a formal, seated meeting or an intimate sit‑down meal in a compact, polished room.

What guests say: The Private Section is beautiful and well laid out.
