VSL Visits The Mandrake: A Dark, Artsy Oasis for Unforgettable Events
Monday 12 May 2025
Nestled in the heart of London’s vibrant Fitzrovia, The Mandrake is far more than just a luxury hotel—it’s a captivating blend of nature, mystery, and avant-garde artistry. Last week, the Venue Search London team had the pleasure of exploring this unique property that would elevate your next event.
From the moment you step inside, you’re transported into a world where dark aesthetics meet lush greenery, and every corner tells a story. The hotel’s ethos revolves around spirituality and sensory immersion, making it the perfect backdrop for events that defy convention. During our visit, we were also invited to explore cooc, the new private members’ club next door. This underground gem can be hired early in the week for standing receptions of up to 215 guests, adding another intriguing option to The Mandrake’s portfolio of event spaces.
The Mandrake has standout spaces for every occasion...
Jurema Terrace
Awarded Best Outdoor Space at the 2019 AHEAD Awards, Jurema Terrace is a botanical wonderland. Available in both summer and winter configurations, it features a hanging garden and in-house music, making it ideal for alfresco receptions or intimate gatherings. The summer terrace can host 100 guests across its full space, or be divided seamlessly for smaller events. The winter transformation, Juvens Winter Garden, is a glass-enclosed sanctuary adorned with flickering flames and lush foliage—a magical setting for Christmas parties, with a standing capacity of 80 guests.
Masha Hari Theatre
A fusion of art and performance, this versatile theatre space boasts state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment and a vibrant graffiti backdrop. With a capacity of 70 guests for standing receptions, 25 guests for lounge-style screenings, or 30 guests for seated dinners, the Masha Hari Theatre adds a dramatic flair to any event.
YOPO Restaurant & Bar
Inspired by South American cuisine, YOPO offers a sensory journey through bold flavours and exotic ingredients. The restaurant and bar can host 60 guests for standing receptions or 40 guests for seated dinners, with its moody lighting and eclectic decor setting the tone for a memorable evening.
The Penthouse
The Penthouse is a sleek, contemporary space with a private terrace and panoramic views. It is The Mandrakes crown jewel, offering exclusivity for 50 guests at standing receptions or 20 guests at its bespoke dining table. It is also home to an impressively large bathtub and art features that will leave guests in awe.
The Finishing Touches...
No detail is overlooked at The Mandrake. The hotel’s cocktail bar, Waeska, is a highlight. It is home to a solid crystal bar believed to have healing properties. It is the perfect spot for pre- or post-event drinks, adding a touch of mysticism to your occasion.
The Mandrake is a venue that dares to be different, blending dark artistry with natural beauty to create a truly immersive experience. Whether you’re planning a corporate gathering, or an exclusive party, this hotel offers spaces that are as unique as your vision.
