Hyatt Place London City East, one of London’s most sustainable and design-forward hotels, with an acclaimed rooftop bar and a chart-topping Sicilian restaurant, has unveiled the Canvas Suite, a contemporary new collection of event and meeting spaces bringing fresh energy and flexibility to one of the capital’s most creative neighbourhoods.
The Canvas Suite connects directly to the hotel’s leafy lower-ground-floor and alfresco Terraza, with the Sicilian-inspired Sotto Cucina & Bar, and the newly refreshed and refurbished Orangery flowing naturally beyond. Transforming the hotel into a practical and dynamic boutique event and meetings destination, the result is a series of light-filled, interconnecting spaces that blur the boundaries between indoors and out, giving every event greater scope for flexibility, creativity, style and scale.
The Canvas Suite itself can host up to 60 guests a la theatre-style, or be divided into two smaller rooms, The Atelier and The Studio, for more intimate gatherings. Delegates can move seamlessly from morning meetings and workshops in these new inspiring spaces, to working lunches, and aperitivo hours, to break-out sessions or alfresco mingles on the Terraza and even rooftop networking in PocketSquare Skyline Bar & Terrace, to a backdrop of stunning London City skyline views.
Whether for meetings, private dinners, brainstorming or training sessions, cultural talks or launch parties, every event becomes an effortless extension of the hotel’s creative East London spirit.
Inspired by East London’s creative landscape, the event spaces draw on the area’s long tradition of artistic innovation, from the galleries of Whitechapel to the studios of Brick Lane. Each name reflects a stage in the creative process: The Canvas Suite as a blank space for ideas to take shape, The Atelier for focus and refinement, and The Studio for collaboration and momentum. Together they form a cohesive environment designed for connection and expression, a place where concepts move from outline to outcome.
Set just moments from Brick Lane, the new event offering reflects the area’s dynamic spirit, where art, food, fashion and culture collide. High-quality venues are rare in this part of town, making Hyatt Place London City East a standout choice for those seeking something different: flexible, stylish and unmistakably East London. With 276 contemporary guest rooms, including skyline-view and terrace options, Hyatt Place London City East also lends itself perfectly to residential events, allowing delegates to meet, dine and stay all under one roof.
