If used in conjunction with the twenty four letting bedrooms in the Club, you could hold one of the most exclusive weekend London House Parties - and it would not cost as much as you might think!
Library
This air conditioned room is situated on the Lower Ground Floor of the Club. Filled with historic copies of Parliamentary Debates and Hansard going back to 1826, this room is ideal for a board room style meeting or for a small luncheon or dinner party. It can be used in conjunction with the Cabinet Room, which is across the corridor, either as a meeting room or reception room, before moving across to have lunch or dinner.
 
Churchill Room
This room is the largest of the Club's function rooms, accommodating up to 92 people for dinner on long tables. The size of the room enables it to be used for almost any purpose, from Annual Dinner to AGM, from Reception to Exhibition. The Churchill Room is air conditioned and may be used in conjunction with a reception area outside the room, called "Cads' Corner", where guests are able to meet before going into the main room for dinner.
 
Macmillan
The Macmillan Room is named after the former Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, who was a past Chairman of the Club. His portrait hangs in the room and shows him dressed in his robes of office as Chancellor of Oxford University. This delightful room was first used as a Strangers' Drawing Room and has one of Thomas Hopper's great plaster ceilings. Situated on the ground floor, it is often used for luncheons as its light, airy style provides an environment well suited to a daytime event. It can also be used for small dinners or receptions.
 
Disraeli
The portrait of Benjamin Disraeli which hangs in the room named after him, is a a Nineteenth Century copy after Sir John Millais. The exquisite deep blue room, originally designed as a smoking room, is an ideal setting for a sumptuous dinner. With the chandelier dimmed, the flickering light of the candles on the table serve as a reminder of how the room would have been in those far off Regency days. Whilst flexible enough to be an excellent venue for lunches, receptions and meetings, it is dinners to which this room lends itself so well and for which it provides the perfect setting.
 
Cabinet

This Lower Ground Floor room is so named not only because its walls are hung with portraits of all the great Twentieth Century Prime Ministers and the most recent past Chairmen of the Club,
(see Carlton Club Collection) but also because it is home to the Disraeli Cabinet Table. This table was used by Disraeli for his Shadow Cabinet meetings in Dover Street in the early part of the Nineteenth Century.

This air conditioned room, with its splendid silver display cabinets, is ideal for a luncheon or dinner in a more formal setting. The table has sprigs which extend out to allow seating round the table for 23 people. However, the room can be used with three separate tables to take up to 36 people. It can also be used, if necessary, in conjunction with the Library which is across the corridor.
