About this space

At home in iconic 21 storey flat-iron style building, The Gate stands as an impressive landmark at the gateway to the city. Located just a two-minute walk from Aldgate tube station, The Gate sits on the intersection of the City of London and London’s most creative and vibrant areas of Shoreditch, Hoxton. Brick Lane and Hackney. The iconic Tower Bridge and riverfront is a 10 minute walk away.

On the fifth floor, The Lounge brings together the hotel’s boutique atmosphere with an eclectic East London flare, furnished with beautiful original and new Mid-Century furniture and art curated by Maddox Gallery.

The Lounge is a dynamic space, perfect for private events like birthday parties, after work drinks, corporate events and wedding receptions. The tranquil terrace is also an ideal space to host seasonal events like barbecues, wine tastings or wellbeing classes throughout the summer.

Featuring a bar, dining area, lounge and a unique catering proposition for private events, the comfortable lounge is transformed throughout the day and night, making it the ideal space for your next event, whether you’re hosting an intimate private dining for 20 people or a cocktail evening for 80.

The Lounge is available to book with the reservation of a hotel room. Get in touch to learn more about our catering, drinks, and canapé menus, and plan your next event today.

Pub · 70 guests · August 2025
We held our wedding party at The Gate, following the official marriage a couple of days before. Our experience was extremely positive. The day was exactly what we wanted, and many of our approximately 70 guests were full of praise for the venue and its staff, all of whom were helpful and cheerful. Special thanks to Rupok, who was manager on the day of the wedding and who was always available to provide support. The canapes and bowl food provided for the guests were tasty and freshly made, and served well for lunch (gluten free/coeliac-friendly and vegan options were available). Having the incredible penthouse suite for free one night, and reduced the night before, was the cherry on top of the (wedding) cake. Thanks to everyone at The Gate who helped make our day so special.
