A £22 million redevelopment programme has transformed the Ri's Grade 1 listed building into one of the most inspiring and versatile venues in Mayfair.
Restoration of our traditional Georgian spaces combined with the creation of new flexible contemporary areas has formed an exciting space to suit a multitude of events for a wide range of clients. Whether it be a dinner party, networking event, conference, wedding or small business meeting we have the right space for you. We can cater for anything between two and 400 people.
From the five floor glass Atrium to the 200 year old theatre the Ri has an impressive portfolio of flexible spaces in a great central location. Our traditional Library and Writing Room are flooded with natural daylight, with floor to ceiling windows looking out onto Albemarle Street. For a striking setting why not get a feel for the outdoors from inside our bright glass Atrium; the perfect spot for cocktails and canapés.
