Decorated with an octopus and other marine organisms, the glazed door opens onto the vast entrance hall. The pale walls are dressed with a set of neo-classical plasterwork. A large white marble bas-relief by Constant Roux, Prix de Rome, depicts Prince Albert I. At the far end, a passage leads through to the grand amphitheatre, where a white marble plaque commemorates the inauguration of the Institute.
Conceived as a space for welcoming and circulation, the Hall plays a central part in the organisation of your event. It receives participants on arrival with registration, cloakroom and information facilities, then supports breaks, networking and catering. Connected to the various private-hire spaces on the level, it keeps guests moving smoothly and contributes to the quality of their experience throughout the day.
