About this space

Below Decks is an Event Space in the Royal Maritime Hotel that occupies a private, lower-level room offering a secluded, enclosed setting for hired events.

Design: The room presents a nautical, lower‑deck aesthetic through panelled walls, exposed metal beams and round porthole artworks. The colour palette is muted greys and whites and the floor is hard‑wearing timber that supports active layouts.

Features: The space includes Wi‑Fi and air conditioning alongside an in‑room PA system and speakers. The room permits own music and brought‑in DJs and provides a designated dance area subject to a noise restriction. The space is wheelchair accessible and served by accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Small to medium groups seeking a relaxed, social seated dinner or an informal standing reception in a private, adaptable room.
