Bankside Hotel, part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, has launched its 2026 festive offering, “Sparkle & Celebration”, designed to give corporate event planners a creative flexible option for Christmas parties and end-of-year gatherings on London’s South Bank.
The offering spans six event spaces and capacities from 6 to 200 guests, designed for planners to accommodate everything from intimate team celebrations and private dining experiences to lively festive receptions and Christmas parties, all within the hotel’s design led event spaces.
For 2026, the hotel is introducing a new “White Christmas” concept in The White Box, with a palette of snow, frost and ice with contemporary festive detailing. Designed to create a stylish and immersive festive backdrop, the space combines elegant seasonal décor with a contemporary aesthetic, making it ideal for memorable end-of-year celebrations.
The hotel’s meeting rooms and private dining room at Art Yard Bar & Kitchen offer an alternative setting for smaller groups, with a more intimate approach to festive gatherings. Sharing-style menus are offered alongside traditional plated packages, creating a relaxed yet elevated dining experience tailored to every occasion. Perfect for team lunches, private dinners and relaxed celebrations, these spaces provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere for businesses looking to bring colleagues together during the festive season.
Three packages have been designed to give planners clear per-person pricing and different event formats:
• Reception Package – from £89pp: three drinks, three canapés and three bowl food items, plus room hire.
• Sharing Menu Package – from £100pp: three-course sharing dinner, half a bottle of wine and room hire.
• Plated Package – from £110pp: three-course plated dinner, half a bottle of wine and room hire.
The menus focus on seasonal British European cuisine from a Ballotine of Turkey with pancetta, sage jus and Brussels sprouts to Wild Mushroom Risotto with charred corn and tarragon with artichoke crisps. This includes vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options across the offering too. Planners can further tailor events with seasonal cocktails, including a Mulled Negroni and Gingerbread Old Fashioned, Champagne upgrades, additional arrival canapés and DJ entertainment.
The hotel’s Meeting Rooms 1–3, Art Yard Private Dining Room, Mezzanine and The White Box provide a range of layouts and formats, while its South Bank location offers seamless access to both the City and West End, with Blackfriars nearby.
With bookings now open for the 2026 festive season, the offering provides a scalable option for businesses looking to consolidate different Christmas event requirements within one London venue, while retaining flexibility around format, food and entertainment.
Combining contemporary design, seasonal styling and versatile event spaces, Bankside Hotel offers a festive backdrop suited to organisations of all sizes looking to mark the end of the year in style.
