The East Wing is an ideal location for your party, accessible via our iconic Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court via its own private entrance. The East Wing is a customisable space featuring beautiful, high ceilings and large sash windows, an abundance of space and natural light and set within a suite of open plan, interlinked rooms combing ultramodern flourishes with neoclassical lines to frame a real sense of celebration for your guests and attendees.
Hires are available throughout the evening – with late licences on request, and our assembly of accredited suppliers and caterers can help support your celebration with production, drinks receptions, canapés and more.
