About this space

The Bayswater Suite is an event space in The Columbia, a bright period reception room defined by high ceilings and large sash windows that fill the interior with daylight.

Design: The interior displays painted panelling, ceiling cornices and small sky-panel murals, set over hardwood floors and finished with low brass chandeliers in a restrained palette.

Features: The Bayswater Suite includes on-site Wi‑Fi and an integrated PA system with speakers; the space permits own music and an external DJ. The suite offers step-free entry and is wheelchair accessible, and its timber floors and natural light suit both standing receptions and seated layouts.

Ideal for: Corporate teams and private social groups seeking a polished, adaptable space for seated dinners or relaxed standing receptions.

What sets it apart: The suite's interconnecting rooms can be partitioned by curtains to create separate or continuous event areas for flexible circulation and layouts.

What guests say: The space is well maintained and clean, and the interiors retain a mid-century character. The suite remains quiet and comfortable even when the building faces a busy street.

Gala · 250 guests · November 2025
The venue is wonderful and made our event a million times better. Everyone is still talking about how beautiful it was weeks later! The support from the team was also great and Asia, the events manager, is amazing at supporting and providing everything needed. She made the whole process and set up a lot easier and smooth-going.
The only small thing was that we had a lot of trash after the event and they don't have bins or any assistance to take them out. So you either have to take 10 massive trash bags back home or pay per bag for the trash to be picked up, which wasn't a cost we had previously calculated or counted on.
