The Hospital Club in London’s Covent Garden is the only private members’ club designed specifically for those in creative industries, and as a member since 2009, it’s been my ‘home from home’ for many years.
Founded by musician Dave Stewart, of Eurythmics fame, and Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, the Hospital Club opened in 2004, as a hub where creative types could create, connect, and collaborate. Spread over seven floors with stunning interiors including cocktail bars, lounges, a restaurant, 36-seater cinema, TV studio, art gallery, and 15 extraordinary bedrooms, it caters for creative professionals who are looking for something super cool, friendly and collaborative.
As well as being London’s hippest private members’ club, it’s also the perfect space for couples looking for somewhere really stylish and different for their wedding venue.
It boasts a range of versatile spaces each with its own unique style and flavour, as well as a team of chefs and mixologists who can tailor-make and prepare the perfect menu (kosher or just Jewish-friendly!) whatever your theme and budget.
A couple of months ago in January 2015, fifteen sumptuous bedrooms were added to the mix which means that for the first time ever the Hospital Club is opening it’s doors to non-members. The rooms are luxuriously appointed with leathers, velvets, sumptuous woods and jaw-dropping works of contemporary art, and I’m giving one lucky reader and their companion the chance to sneak in, party hard, and crash out in comfort in the Hospital Club’s top suite, complete with dinner in the club restaurant, and breakfast the following morning.
The suite (a.k.a. the crash pad of your dreams) comes complete with a private terrace, separate lounge area, erotic minibar by Holloway Smith Noir, brain power tool kits by the School of Life, insider guides to London, and a 7pm cocktail trolley with your own personal bartender!
For the duration of your stay, you’ll also be able to make full use of all member privileges including the club’s 3D cinema, pool room, cocktails bars, and the enviable schedule of member events.

While you’re waiting to hear if you’ve won, let me tell you about what the Hospital Club offers in terms of a wedding venue. It’s definitely one of London’s most stylish choices, and having used the Club for a wonderful surprise birthday party for my mum, I can tell you from my own experience that the service you’ll receive is incomparable.
The Club is fully licensed to hold weddings and ceremonies, and can cater for every part of your celebration all under one roof, from your chuppah to the champagne reception, to a sit down wedding breakfast, to dancing the night away and waking up in one of their fabulous bedrooms the next morning. They offer a flexible wedding management service too, with a dedicated planner on hand from day one to D-day to ensure that your day is a truly extraordinary and unforgettable experience.
The Hospital Club is perfect for small, intimate weddings as well as larger ceremonies and parties for up to 120 guests (all spaces with their capacities and prices are listed in their wedding brochure).

I would love to win a free nights stay at the Hospital Club, it’s a place I’ve been meaning to visit but never got round to it.
The real reason Id love this amazing prize is yesterday myself and my husband were let down by another hotel for our anniversary stay this May, so this would be perfect and help cheer us up!
Keeping my fingers crossed!
Rebecca
Rural living a bore, finanaces somewhat poor, The Hospital would be the perfect cure
I would LOVE to win a night’s stay at The Hospital Club because my boyfriend and I are long overdue a nice weekend as I shoot almost every weekend! We have been talking about a mini break/nice weekender for a while but we’re saving for a house so it’s hard to justify it financially.
I think this might be too cool for me! I’m looking for an amazing, memorable experience to gift to my childminder though, who has looked after both my children amazingly over the last 5 years. This would be perfect! Fingers crossed!
Wow! Why did I never know about this place when I was involved in the wedding industry ??
I would absolutely love to come celebrate my wedding anniversary here it looks amazing and maybe catchup with a few old friends at the same time! xx
What an awesome prize!!! Who wouldn’t want some quality time with the hubby, sipping cocktails with not a computer, kids or chores in sight!!! Bring on some good times… fingers crossed!! XX
So many reasons! I’ve actually been thinking of joining, to have a super cool base to work from in Central London. I LOVE the vibe of the place. The styling is just wonderful, I’d absolutely love to shoot a wedding there. And, finally, I am EXHAUSTED – I’m planning a big event alongside running a wedding business, and my husband is working on the General Election, so you can imagine the stress levels in our house. A little bit of luxurious bliss is just what we need.
Wow, would love to win as it looks incredible
I would love to win this for my wife is so hard working and deserving!

I’m planning on surprising my boyfriend with a trip to London for his birthday – staying here would be the cherry on the cake!
I love this place and to stay would be such a treat. My husband is 40 next year and this would be an amazing present for him! Xx
I would love to win. My dad moved in with us a year ago and as much as I love him we live in a tiny flat and it means we rarely get time to ourselves. To be able to spend a night in such luxury just the two of us would be pure heaven !
I’d like to win as its my 20th wedding anniversary this year – and every one of those years my wife has been disappointed with my functional presents – it would be great to redeem myself for my unromantic past and give my wife an evening of luxury
I’d love to be able to treat my partner. He’s supported me financially and, most importantly, emotionally, through a very tough (and rewarding!) degree so that I can pursue my dream career as a speech and language therapist.The end is now in sight and this would be the perfect way to say thank you.
Would love to win for my fiance’s birthday

I would love to win this for my parents, as their silver wedding anniversary is coming up, and they have gone through some ups and downs and had various health issues lately. I think this would definitely cheer them up, as they love quirky hotels!
i would like to win as it would mean quality time with the other half. we dont get a day of together apart from holiday so this would be amazing.
soooo many reasons this is needed!
60 hr weeks running after toddler triplets. A second job as a teacher on top of the 60 hours and no holidays this year (just cancelled my only trip of the year) all because we are saving for a house!
We spent our 10 year anniversary last month making a lasagne (an awesome Jamie Oliver one) together at home and will spend our three year wedding anniversary (in April) probably doing the same thing!
A little luxury treat wouldn’t go a mis amongst all the saving and overtime!
Would be awesome to experience and I defiantly deserve a treat x
I would love to win so i can endulge in all the beauty that London has to offer.
This would make an amazing surprise mini moon for my fiancee for straight after we get married in September, as we are waiting to go to Asia in December for our honeymoon when the weather is better out there.
to distract me at the start of term when the children all disappear off to uni- when the house no longer echoes with the sound of their laughter…
We have had the worst luck this year so far and had hoped to do a day trip to London some time to cheer ourselves up. What better way than to do it in style at The Hospital Club! It would be a great gift for myself and my husband and hopefully the start of our luck changing 🙂
Such and amazing venue! I would love to join this club and use as a base in London. I hope to be able to stay at this lovely venue with my partner.

So actually I’d like this prize for me (oh and my hubby!!) With 3 children, a dog, a husband who works away, trying to sell a house, organise moving to Australia, run a photography business, I have little time to set my inner creative free. This would be a great opportunity to rejuvenate my creativeness before I launch myself on Melbourne. It would also be such a brilliant send off before we move. Pick me, pick me! 🙂

I’d love to win to spend some nice child free time with my husband
To win 🙂 would mean I could have a chilled out time, in a chilled out place, with my chilled out partner 🙂 ( ohh and it will get me bonus points with said partner !
I had worked there at some events, as did my husband, before we met, and since those casual waitressing days I have been fortunate enough to be back for some film screenings, so loyalty to this beautiful venue run deep.- spending a night at one of those suites they now have would be the non plus ultra of the history we share.

WOW! What a beautiful & stylish place to stay. I couldn’t help but notice all the careful attention to detail (the fresh flowers on all the tables in the bar/restaurant and the alarm clock by the bedside in the room). I’d love to whisk my husband away for our wedding anniversary, to spend some romantic time together. I really can’t imagine anywhere nicer.
It’s our wedding anniversary in July and it would be great to surprise the wife with this luxury stay
So my gorgeous daughter and I could paint the town red to celebrate her 18th birthday and her extraordinary hard work she has done for her A levels & she disappears to University for five years and leave me with an empty nest! She deserves a HUGE treat !

My girlfriend and I got engaged in November and we have been wanting to spend quality time together since then- out work schedules means she travels a lot for work and I spend long hours in the office. Would be great to win and spend some quality time together. J
What better way to experience the diversity of London by sleeping in a wonderful attraction to the envy of many.
Me and my best friend (of 15 years!) had our babies quite young, so we cant afford a lot but we keep promising to ‘do things’ so this would be perfect!

I would love to win a fancy night away in this super venue!! I’d like to be able to treat my long suffering husband after all the work talk I talk at him, after he’s had a long day, long week with lots of deadlines. It’s obviously all for him…. promise….
Got my 40th birthday celebrations an would love to remember this milestone in somewhere exquisite like this!
I have been gardening all day, I’m so excited to see this prize that I wet my plants!!!!
I came to the Hospital Club in 2008 to see a a singer called Mr Hudson. It was a prize.
Up until that day I had never heard of The Hospital Club or Mr Hudson himself.
However since that time I have created very fond memories of the club and the great night I had there. Would be lovely to return with my mate all these years later and build more great memories.
I absolutely love this blog and has been a real saviour for planning my wedding this August.
My fiancé and I are also throwing in trying to find a house in the midst of the planning so this hotel stay would come as an absolute delight as we are both living separately at our parents until we find somewhere like 6th form students!!!
Thanks Karen for all your tips on STG. xxx
I celebrate my 60th birthday this June – I think this fits the bill

we are getting married this summer…our best friend and matchmaker wont make it because she is supposed to give birth at the same time…and she lives in london! that way we could have a sweet honeymoon with the person that brought us together!!

I would like to win as it looks simply amazing – a totally unique and memorable experience- I am confident I would never forget.
I would like to win because I am Hospital-phobic and need to be cured.

Because that really would be smashing the glass ceiling. I’ve always wanted to join the Hospital Club and I am a huge arts and culture fan. Sadly, I’ve never had the right contacts and considered “important” enough in the industry to be allowed to join as a member. Have a night of bliss at my one of my favourite private clubs in the world would be the equivalent of winning the Oscars!
I would love to go away with my hubby for the weekend 🙂
To celebrate 17 years of love, ups, downs, and everything else in between, it’s our Anniversary soon, and this would be a top place to spend it!
I’d love to come and stay in this amazing looking place to celebrate my birthday, my husband’s birthday and our wedding anniversary – all in the same week at the end of May. It looks so cool and in a great location!

Because a bird pooped on my head this morning and ruined my coat! I am definitely owed some luck, and this would be the ultimate luckiest thing imaginable! Looks SO amazing!
It looks amazing! looks like my perfect kind of quirky place be a fantastic excuse for a trip with my other half as we never do much together! looks such a fantastic place! x
I don’t get much oportunity to stay in hotels and this Hotel looks absolutely magnificient. It would make up for all the holidays I have missed.
