About this space

The Conservatory is designed to keep guests comfortable year-round, with a retractable roof and integrated heating that adapts to any weather. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls overlook Bond Court, creating a bright, stylish setting with a lively city centre backdrop without the noise or crowds.

Its flexible layout makes it ideal for larger groups, whether you’re planning a sit-down private dining experience or a more relaxed standing reception. Perfect for celebrations, corporate events, and exclusive get togethers, it offers a versatile and inviting setting for any occasion.
