5 Female-focused venues for International Women’s Day
Monday 28 February 2022
At Venue Search London, we love supporting our clients with their unique and interesting venue finds. Especially when it comes to finding the perfect venue influenced by a particular theme for the brief given.
This month marks International Women's Day (Tuesday 8th March) and we are delighted to share our top female-focused venues...
St Pancras Renaissance Hotel
The grand five-star hotel located in St Pancras Station hosts a variety of exclusive events, and has proved to be the ideal setting and location for some of television and films' much-loved classics such as; Harry Potter, Batman, Mission Impossible and Bridget Jones to name a few!
However, it goes without saying that our favourite has to be the Spice Girls performance on the iconic staircase which features in the 1996 ''Wannabe'' music video from the album ''Spice''.
The video is shot in one tale following the girl band as they sing, dance, and cause havoc throughout the hotel. What better way to celebrate International Women's Day than by showing some Girl Power!
AllBright
AllBright club opened its doors in March 2018, with a mission to provide space to host a community of brilliant and smart-minded women and a unique environment to connect, create and collaborate. The beautifully designed spaces are created by women, for women. Of course, men are very welcome to join as guests! We love following AllBright's upcoming talks and forums to inspire and enrich; to become the best version of ourselves.
The Marylebone Hotel
Who wouldn't like a professional pic to be featured on your company's website or on LinkedIn? On the first Friday of March, The Marylebone hotel will be offering complimentary headshots to women to celebrate International Women's Day.
Award-winning photographer Lisa Tse will be shooting the portraits (she co-curated the ‘209 Women’ portrait exhibition in Westminster, which saw 209 female MPs snapped by 209 female photographers) - so make sure you head down and make the most of their lovely offer!
Tonight Josephine
The Adventure Bar Group was bought by Nightcap, a hospitality group formed by ex-Dragon's Den investor Sarah Willingham. The Adventure Bar Group is one of the most dynamic bar companies in London. After 15+ years they have built a successful portfolio of bars in the bustling areas of Covent Garden, Waterloo, Shoreditch, Clapham and Birmingham.
Tonight Josephine was one of the first brands in the portfolio, which has grown to include five unique and individual cocktail bars, and known to be the most 'instagrammable' within the group. The woman behind Tonight Josephine is the legendary Josephine de Beauharnais (aka Josephine Bonaparte). Josephine knew what she wanted, she made her own rules and didn't give a damn what anyone thought. Daughter to a wealthy family that fell on hard times, Josephine rose through the ranks of French society with sass, hustle and a little bit of luck - marrying Bonaparte I and named Empress of the French.
Blame Gloria
Another brand from The Adventure Bar Group, we welcome Blame Gloria. Rumour has it, Gloria always threw the wildest parties. Se makes the best whiskey sour. She had the best legs in SoHo. She taught Bowie how to do his make up. She has Elton’s old piano. Some say she dated Hendrix. She spent her life in hotels. When she ran out of dosh she moved into the basement. She still throws the best parties.
Gloria's underground cocktail den is located in the heart of Covent Garden, with a beautifully decorated interior, and a carefully selected cocktail menu. We also highly recommend their lively and atmospheric weekend brunches which include themes such as Gloria's Disco and Gloria's ABBA Bottomless Brunch.
