About this space

Great Western 1 is a ballroom in Hilton London Paddington characterised by high ceilings and tall sash windows that bring abundant natural daylight into a long, formal space.

Design: The room presents an art-deco influenced interior with a long rectangular plan and generous ceiling height. The room features ornate cornicing, crystal chandeliers and a patterned neutral carpet that reinforce a formal, traditional character.

Features: An in-house PA system and venue speakers are available for amplified sound. Wi‑Fi and air conditioning provide technical and comfort support. A flexible seating layout can be configured to suit theatre or cabaret arrangements, and external DJs or owner-supplied music are permitted subject to the venue's noise restrictions. Wheelchair access and accessible toilets are provided.

Ideal for: Large professional groups seeking a formal, front-facing room for structured, seated presentations and staged programming.

What sets it apart: A bank of permanently installed display panels flanking a central projection screen provides multi-panel presentation visibility from across the room.
