We hosted our sons’ christening lunch at Botanical and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. From start to finish, the team were absolutely incredible — warm, attentive, and so accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble, even with three little boys running around! The food and service were seamless, and it was such a joy to be able to fully relax and enjoy the day knowing everything was being looked after. We received so many compliments from guests, and honestly, we’re already looking for excuses to host another event there. Highly recommend for a beautiful, stress-free celebration!

I recently celebrated my baby shower at the Botanical Hotel and I couldn’t be more delighted with the entire experience! From the very beginning, Chiara was outstanding—always responsive, lovely and thoroughly professional, making the planning process seamless and stress-free. On the day itself, the two gentlemen assisting us were great, consistently going above and beyond to ensure everything ran perfectly. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and served promptly. I truly cannot recommend the team and the venue highly enough. Thank you for making my special day so memorable! All of the guests were equally impressed and had a wonderful time. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
