Oak room:wood-panelled opulence

The original Royal Station Hotel was extended in 1896 and the new Klondyke Wing (as it was called) included a number of imposing public spaces – none more so than the Oak room with its ornate fireplace and cut-glass chandeliers. This is the perfect room for drinks receptions, parties, and private dinners on a grand scale.
