The May Fair Hotel has been synonymous with the film industry since the 1950’s, when it was owned by film impresarios, the American Danziger Brothers, founders of Elstree Studios.
It is also home to London’s largest private theatre accommodating 201 guests.
Linda Plant, director of marketing for the May Fair Hotel, said: "Extending our relationship and activities with the BFI reinforces our position as the film hotel in London. With our hi-tech, hi-spec facilities we are seen by the industry as a natural partner for new works, film launches, press junkets, screenings and general entertainment."
Clare Stewart, artistic director of the BFI Festivals, said: "The May Fair Hotel are great supporters of the film and entertainment industry and once again we will have a choice of excellent spaces for parties, first class suites for our VIPs and access to one of London’s largest and best-equipped private cinemas."
