About this space

The Hawthorne Room + Terrace is a lounge in The Raines Law Room at The William characterised by a retro-library parlor style and an intimate, low-lit atmosphere.

Design: The room features dark wood panelling, tufted velvet banquettes and brass wall sconces that create a compact, club-like interior. The floor pairs polished wood with area rugs and small chandeliers keep sightlines low and intimate.

Features: The room provides flexible lounge seating arranged around low tables, movable couches and small side tables suitable for conversation or light service. The space includes on-site food and cocktail service, plus in-room Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and a built-in PA system and speakers. The room allows own music and bring-your-own-DJ options and is wheelchair accessible.

Ideal for: Intimate social groups seeking a relaxed, conversation-focused seated dinner or a standing cocktail reception in a compact, lounge-style setting.

What sets it apart: A private, adjoining terrace provides outdoor space directly off the lounge.

What guests say: The space is intimate and dimly lit, and the period-inspired décor and wallpapers are frequently admired. The room's atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable.

We hosted a party for 40 people here, including drinks, hors d'oeuvres and dinner, followed by catered desserts (cake). The night was absolutely magical: the ambience, the servers (Alex and Luke are utterly charming and kind), the food, the drinks (cocktails are still being raved about several days after the event) and of course Lauren, who planned and coordinated the party. She was beyond professional: immediate responses to all precise and general inquiries and requests, extremely accommodating, polite and solicitous. I can't recommend the place or the people highly enough!
