The venue

Set over two floors of Grosvenor House on Park Lane, the Soho House Grey Goose After Party spanned a series of suites and spaces.                                                 This is the first time that this part of the hotel has been used for the official after party – a departure from The Ballroom which has traditionally been used for this event.

Theming 

The Soho House production team, headed by property director Charlie Luxton transform the venue to create classic Soho House lounge spaces, evocative of their clubs in London and New York. The interactive areas featured a poker room, a games room and music and DJs. The party was fully staffed by Soho House with late night snacks created by its house chefs.

Partner Grey Goose vodka has collaborated with Soho House on a number of high profile international film based events and created dedicated bars for the party serving a specially created collection of Grey Goose cocktails: Le Masque, Crème de la Crème and Goose Starlight. The drinks were inspired by the glamour of cinema using some of the finest, natural ingredients.

The space and the entertainment allowed us to do just that."      Nick Jones - Chairman, Soho House Group
