The 10 Best Hotels in London in 2022

The best hotels in London, according to Travel + Leisure readers, embody the city’s history and legacy of refined hospitality.

Note: If you’re looking for our most recent recommendations, check out the 2023 list of our favorite hotels in London .

Read the words London hotel, and what does your mind conjure up? A doorman in a red tailcoat on the front step, doffing his top hat. A vase of fresh flowers on a round mahogany table. Afternoon tea enjoyed in a wingback chair. Of course, you can find those time-honored treats at almost any of the hotels that Travel + Leisure readers chose as the best in London. But look closely and you'll also discover the more present-tense pleasures to be had.

Every year for our World's Best Awards survey, T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Hotels (including safari lodges) were rated on their facilities, location, service, food, and overall value. Properties were classified as city hotel, resort, or safari lodge based on their locations and amenities.

Many readers chose similar (if not identical) words to describe London's classic properties. For No. 2, the Goring: "steeped in history." For No. 3, the Connaught: "quintessentially British." For No. 7, the Savoy: "first class."

Even with such deep and celebrated history to contend with, London's hotels continue to innovate. Take, for example, the very modern Aman spa at the Connaught, the contemporary art gallery at No. 6 Claridge's, and the Gucci-designed suite at the Savoy.

No matter which of the best hotels in London a traveler chooses, the experience promises to be thoroughly English, but there are many reasons T+L readers have voted Shangri-La the Shard, London, No. 1 for the third consecutive year. Find out what they are below.

1. Shangri-La the Shard, London

"Probably the most incredible hotel on earth!" one voter wrote. Passionate words, but this T+L reader favorite, which has topped our list three years in a row, seems to stir deep feelings in the hearts of its guests. Occupying 18 floors of a Renzo Piano skyscraper, the Shangri-La has sumptuous suites, an acclaimed restaurant, and sybaritic spa treatments. But it's the impressive views over London that keep travelers hooked. "I recommend this hotel to all who like to travel in London," shared another voter, who specifically praised the views from the pool bar and Ting restaurant.

The best hotels in London according to the editors of Condé Nast Traveller

By Steve King and Condé Nast Traveller

The best hotels in London 2024 Traveller editors' picks

There are approximately 123,000 hotel rooms in London . Nobody knows for sure exactly how many. You would think that, as with schools or hospitals or public swimming pools, there would exist a definitive and up-to-date list of the city’s hotels. Apparently not. In any case, 123,000 was the figure that some diligent scholar of the hospitality sector came up with back in 2010. A decade later, that number has no doubt increased considerably.

Still, a shortlist of hotels in London is plenty to be getting on with, especially 30 that are as diverse, exciting, innovative, sumptuous, original and surprising as these. While it is true that certain other great cities of the world are, in hotel terms, similarly blessed – Paris and New York , undoubtedly; Hong Kong and Geneva , possibly – none is more so than London.

How we choose the best hotels in London

Every hotel on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a Condé Nast Traveller journalist who knows the destination and has stayed at that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider both luxury properties and boutique and lesser-known boltholes that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination. We’re always looking for beautiful design, a great location and warm service – as well as serious sustainability credentials. We update this list regularly as new hotels open and existing ones evolve.

What area in London is best to stay in?

If it’s your first time to the capital or you’re looking to stay among the action, most of the best hotels in London tend to surround the West End in areas such as Soho , Piccadilly, Mayfair , and Covent Garden . For a stay that sits alongside greenery, some of London’s smartest high-end hotels neighbour Hyde Park or Green Park, with grand landmarks like Buckingham Palace and Harrods located nearby. To be closer to London’s creative, music and nightlife hub, head to East London, where there are a number of smart hotels in Shoreditch .

The lobby at Claridge's Mayfair in London

Claridge's, Mayfair Arrow

Featured in our Gold List of the best hotels in the world 2024

Founded in 1812, frequented by Queen Victoria and listed by 1878’s influential Baedeker’s guide as “the first hotel in London ,” Claridge’s could easily rest on its storied laurels. But it has always kept ahead of the rest, enlisting the likes of Guy Oliver and Diane von Furstenberg for face-lifts over the decades to ensure it bestrides the classic and modern in a way few hotels manage. The lobby captures the art deco glamour of the Jazz Age when flappers hobnobbed with royalty. Its checkered-floor expanse buzzes with an international motley crew of Hollywood stars, brides and business types catching up over zesty Ginger John cocktails in the 1930s-style Fumoir bar. The pick of the new suites is the Georgian, an impeccable meld of English heritage and subtle chinoiserie. There’s a Steinberg baby grand piano, silk de Gournay panels in the dining room and a kitchen with a 24-hour butler. The hotel’s expansion into the next-door building created space for suites such as the Mayfair, where designer Bryan O’Sullivan (The Berkeley Bar) has ingrained modernity through scalloped mohair furniture in coral and pastel-green palettes. Claridge’s has also dug deep to impress guests with its subterranean spa. Designed by André Fu (the Maybourne Bar in Beverly Hills), its limewood and stone textures and dreamy peachy hues are the backdrop for bamboo-stick massages and Cryo Oxygen Shot facials. The pool ripples beneath a vaulted ceiling, surrounded by stone columns and cushy cabanas. Claridge’s is no longer the only show in town, but it’s with good reason that every other heritage hotel in London still sees it as the benchmark. Noo Saro-Wiwa

The Dorchester Hyde Park

The Dorchester, Hyde Park Arrow

Not to be outdone by arrivistes thudding onto the top-end scene, the Dorch has been shaking her tail feathers with the biggest refurb in three decades: public spaces supercharged, and two floors of new rooms and suites revealed. Penthouses and a rooftop remain under lock and key until later in 2024. The hotel where Elizabeth Taylor signed her Cleopatra contract in the bath remains out-and-out fabulous – but with a Pierre-Yves Rochon uplift. The Artists’ Bar sparkles with a mirrored ceiling, Lalique crystal pillars girdling the bar and Liberace’s mirror-ball-clad baby grand. This is the spot for caviar, native oysters and Petal Head cocktails (Stoli Elit vodka, kumquat, Aperol and passion fruit) served from a trolley. A hoard of London -centric art glints on the walls: Ann Carrington’s Elizabeth II silhouette in mother-of-pearl buttons, Sue Arrowsmith’s delicate silver leaf with coral branches. Martin Brudnizki’s Vesper Bar invites intimacy with its smoked glass and scalloped armchairs, and the spa (best for Dr Uliana Gout’s new medical-grade facials) is a pink girly haven. The Grill by Tom Booton, a fun slice of British culinary theatre, has a fresh menu: don’t miss the squid bolognese à la Koffmann, given the tick of approval by Pierre Koffmann himself. The new suites have the palettes of an English garden, in leaf green, rose, and heather. If Hôtel Plaza Athénée is the American fantasy of Paris , then this Park Lane dame’s new rooms are the American fantasy of Britishness – one we are happy to buy into. Lydia Bell

Staircase Raffles London at The OWO

Raffles London at The OWO hotel Arrow

Best for: a lavish history lesson

The War Office is not the War Office anymore. It’s now the OWO (aka “The Old War Office”). It consists of Raffles London at the OWO, which takes up about half the building, along with some mighty luxe private residences and various other restaurants. It’s hard not to over-emphasise how little other London hotels can touch what Raffles has been lucky enough to tap into here. Historically, the building has perched at the very hub of the establishment. The hefty £1.5bn restoration investment, over seven years, has included a 25m downward excavation (to create the wellness levels of the hotel). Nine restaurants and three bars join the 27,000-ft Goddard Littlefair-designed Guerlain spa (with three subterranean levels) and 20-metre pool. The final shimmering product has 120 rooms and suites, with an entry-level rate of more than £1,100 per night. All is presided over by the soave, somewhat slinky French hotelier Philippe Leboeuf, the Managing Director, Anglophile and self-professed Churchillphile.

The Peninsula Arrow

Best for: high-tech gloss

Inside The Peninsula’s vast lobby, there’s an abstract sense that the red buses and black cabs outside on Hyde Park Corner might as well be a digital projection. All the hallmarks of one of the world’s most iconic hotel brands are here – the pristine service, the all-encompassing tech, the Rolls-Royces in brand green, the tinkly underwater music in the pool; every lion statuette, marble surface and Japanese maple tree blessed by a hallowed feng shui master. Barely a week after its September soft opening, the place was already busy with an international crowd, between the columns and chandeliers, overlooked by London Parks murals by wallpaper specialists De Gournay. The 190 rooms were designed by American Peter Marino, all with a prevailing sense of haute-generic seven-star neutrality but are set apart by elaborate technology and extreme comfort. Bright walls of china plates and delicate cups are the backdrop to Pensinsula veteran chef Dicky To’s dishes at The Canton Blue, which fuse Cantonese techniques with British ingredients. Downstairs is the sexy street-side Little Blue bar, where ex-Cheval Blanc mixologist Florian Thireau has created a lovely cocktail list themed by the Keying junk journey (to Hong Kong, St Helena, New York and London). And then there's the faintly Jetsons-styled rooftop bar and restaurant, with knockout London views from the terrace, rare Cuban cigars and classic British food by former Bibendum and Hibiscus head chef Francesco Di Benedetto.

A room at NoMad London

Nomad London, Covent Garden Arrow

Best for: showmanship

Despite the Ace Hotel’s departure from the city, there’s something of a USA revival going on in London, with The Standard landing in King’s Cross and the Mondrian just launched in Shoreditch . And earlier this year, the first NoMad outside the States opened in a palatial former magistrates’ court opposite the Royal Opera House . It came with some expectation – after all, the original put a whole New York City neighbourhood on the map, its Dirty Martini-fuelled bar an overnight sensation – but has hit the ground running. The centrepiece restaurant, in a luminous, almost neoclassical atrium draped with greenery, was booked up for weeks, a see-and-be-seen destination. There’s plenty of showmanship here, but it’s more Noël Coward than PT Barnum: vintage chandeliers, brass and crimson, mohair and damask, mural painters from the opera house involved in the decor. In the bedrooms, bathrooms nod to golden Twenties Art Deco and the main spaces to a sort of transatlantic connoisseur spirit, with big-brushed abstract expressionism propped up on the floor, Hopi kachina dolls beside the fireplace and a blend of Victoriana and art history on the walls (we perhaps have hotelier Andrew Zobler’s grandmother, who owned an antiques shop , to thank for this). The Library bar has shelves and shelves of books, though the prominent criminology section can’t match a tour of the adjacent new Bow Street Police Museum, birthplace of London’s first force, which has seen the Krays, Oscar Wilde and Emmeline Pankhurst pass through its cells. Shakers rattle like sidewinders in the tavern-esque Side Hustle, mixing up fancy American-style cocktails. This is a big-thinking but surprisingly intimate hotel that deserves a standing ovation.

Broadwick Soho

Broadwick Soho Arrow

Best for: maximalist opulence

This Martin Brudzinski-designed hangout on the corner of Berwick Street and Broadwick Street is no elegant grand dame or glassy international transplant. Instead, the 57-room hotel owned by a group of friends throws patterns (leopard print, zebra stripe, geometric lines), textures (cork panelling, glitter DJ booths, silk walls) and colours (flamingo pink, maroon, aquamarine) together to create a joyful place to stay. As is Brudzinski's way, spaces here are hardly shy and retiring. The designer's trademark maximalist vibe naturally draws comparisons to his other projects, especially Annabel's, but Broadwick is her own person entirely. Two enormous elephants hover above the street-level entrance in top hats and bow ties, while bedrooms pick up the motif and run with it by placing handcrafted Jaipur elephant mini bars front and centre and decking the walls in shimmering elephant-print wallpaper. A hotel this fun, of course, needs sharp public spaces for merrymaking: Flute is the disco-chic rooftop bar; Dear Jackie is a sultry, dimly lit restaurant with an impeccable Sicilian-inspired menu; and little sister Bar Jackie is a more casual café with strong coffee for soothing weary heads the morning after the night before. Then there's The Nook, a guests-only den for nightcaps or afternoon snoozes. The result is a hotel that feels fresh while simultaneously fitting right into the London scene; a space that trades heavily on its glamour and distinctly Soho soul. Sarah James

1 Hotel Mayfair, Mayfair Arrow

Best for: sustainability

This nine-storey hotel is a sustainable sanctuary slotting naturally among London’s oldest hospitality icons just across the road from The Ritz and The Wolseley. Inside, you are greeted by a giant suspended plant chandelier, a reception desk hewn from the trunk of a giant oak tree in a Sussex forest and a wall of Yorkshire stone, tactfully slotted together with no additional materials by a father and son carpentry stonemason duo. It’s an unexpectedly soothing space amid  London ’s busiest shopping district; inside, the noise of  Piccadilly  fades away, absorbed by thousands of plants (1,300 to be exact – including 200 local and regional species) and raw materials sprinkled throughout the hotel. The reception’s tranquil aesthetic extends into each of the 181 bedrooms. Sandy hues and creamy tones come in the form of linen-covered cushions, soft furnishings and oak flooring, and each room has a living moss wall, further emphasising the hotel’s dedication to bringing the outdoors inside. Downstairs the hotel also has is a cafe and  co-working space  by day which transforms into a wine bar  by night, as well as an elegant, low-lit cocktail bar area leading on to London’s most talked-about  new restaurant , Dovetale.

The Connaught

The Connaught, Mayfair Arrow

Best for: one of the world's best bars

A hotel known for its Englishness – a quality embodied in its celebrated central staircase (dark and woody of bannister, bright and stripy of carpet), which apparently drove Ralph Lauren into such a fit of longing that he commissioned a replica of it for his Madison Avenue shop. The Connaught Bar is a mini Art Deco masterpiece and our pick for the best bar in London . Both Hélène Darroze's three Michelin-starred restaurant and the less formal Jean-Georges at The Connaught are outstanding too (the latter with a view onto a magical Tadao Ando water sculpture outside).

The Twenty Two, Mayfair Arrow

Best for: privacy

This previously residential Edwardian manor house has been turned into a 31-room hotel and member’s club by former Blakes owner Navid Mirtorabi, with the help of business partner Jamie Reuben, a scion of a family that owns swathes of Mayfair . In a marble-floored lobby that smells of churchy frankincense, guests are greeted by a cape-wearing doorman and a row of staff in Charlie Casely-Hayford suits. A pervasive friendliness cuts through the velveteen quality of a place that feels more like a louche Parisian hideaway than most smart new  London hotels , which tend to fit into Hoxton or Heritage pigeonholes. Most rooms are understatedly plush, painted an elegant blue that’s on the sensual side of Edwardian; former Arbutus chef Alan Christie hits the key modern British notes in the dining room. Some of the prices are shiver-inducing, but then this is Mayfair, and The Twenty Two is offering something different – something sexier and more fun, which might just be a marker point for the area’s future.

Bedroom at Mayfair Townhouse

The Mayfair Townhouse, Mayfair Arrow

Best for: decadent design

The brains behind classic country-house hangouts Cliveden and Chewton Glen have whisked up a sharp new city offshoot for any of their loyal troupe of guests wanting to overnight in a London hotel. But there’s no whiff of a rural familial connection. Instead, the Half Moon Street address pays tribute to the frilly artistic folk of the 19th century: there’s a playful dose of Alice in Wonderland meets The Importance of Being Earnest (the play is set on the same street), with nods to the flamboyance of Oscar Wilde’s characters and quirky coloured graphic art referencing motifs from down the rabbit hole. It could all add up to something distinctly gimmicky but a sense of restraint and a Claridge’s-like appreciation for Art Deco has resulted in rooms that are moody, masculine and smart. Some have a tiny quiet garden terrace to retreat to – a rare thing indeed for central London – while others major in marble. The building spreads grandly across 15 converted Georgian houses, a few Grade II-listed, and a lucky handful of the jewel-toned suites come with views over leafy Green Park below. But the real high point is The Dandy Bar on the ground floor – a shiny mirror-and-plush-leather speakeasy serving up a smooth menu of cocktails alongside dishes such as chicken cobb salad and steak frites. If you can prise yourself off your bar stool, Shepherd Market with lovely Kitty Fisher’s restaurant is just around the corner, the Royal Academy is a brisk 10-minute walk down Piccadilly and 5 Hertford Street is a late-night stumble away. A brilliant new spot in a location that already knows how to have fun.

The Buttery Caf  Lime Tree Hotel

Lime Tree Hotel, Belgravia Arrow

Best for: a sweet, affordable stay

This Ebury Street townhouse conversion is a masterclass in how to maximise eclectic style in a small space. It also delivers on a hard-to-keep promise: an elegant hangout that feels like home, in a great location, at an affordable price. Owners Matt and Charlotte Goodsall opened the property in 2008, quickly turning it into the area’s loveliest little boutique hotel and the best affordable hotel in London . They reframed challenge as opportunity during the 2020 lockdown, overhauling the interiors and adding a new café. The couple enlisted Fraher & Findlay architects, whose previous projects include Wolf & Badger in Coal Drops Yard, but relied on their own taste for the decorative details, sprucing up corners with Sanderson wallpaper and Pooky lampshades. The 28 bedrooms range from minuscule to moderately sized, but this only contributes to the country-cottage cosiness. Clever design ensures that even the tiniest space is optimised, with teal velvet headboards, mountains of ikat pillows and marmalade-coloured armchairs (thoughtful reading material is provided – ours was Aesop’s Fables ). Single rooms come at a keener price, so solo travellers are well looked after. The Buttery kitchen is helmed by Stefano Cirillo, previously at Notting Hill spot Beach Blanket Babylon. Breakfast is made up of perfectly executed classics – avocado on sourdough with runny eggs, chocolate-spread-layered French toast topped with berries, a full English with halloumi – accompanied by the smell of freshly ground Gentlemen Baristas beans and crunchy pastries from the bakery down the road. The back garden is a tiny pocket of quiet for chatting late on summer evenings. Just like the rest of the house, it’s a sweet miniature that has all the elements needed and charm in spades.

Christinas bar at Mondrian Shoreditch

Mondrian London, Shoreditch Arrow

Best for: a Los Angeles-style rooftop pool

This East London enclave should really have had its day. It’s been years since Shoreditch’s street-food stalls, concept bars and cutting-edge boutiques started taking off. Then came the smart stays, award-winning cocktail dens and Michelin-starred restaurants . Bright young creatives were quickly priced out of living here. Then, over the past 18 months, the once-buzzing streets went silent. A couple of big names closed for good and there was space for fresh players to shake up the re-emerging neighbourhood scene. Mondrian, the city-slicking group dreamt up by Ian Schrager in the 1990s, was primed to launch a new London hotel after handing over the keys of its South Bank stalwart a few years ago. The company, helmed by the Reuben brothers, took over splashy members'-club-hotel The Curtain when it shuttered and brought in design studio Goddard Littlefair – also behind the 2016 facelift of Scotland ’s Gleneagles – to switch things up. The loveliest of the 120 whitewashed, exposed-brick rooms have large balconies and skyline views, but this is the sort of place where you won’t spend much time in bed. Art fills the lobby – spot the double-height piece by British painter Fred Coppin – while ground-floor Christina’s serves glossy pastries by day and Espresso Martinis by night. There’s a members'-only rooftop restaurant with its own pool and co-working space where events and panels are held. And – the biggest coup of all – Spanish chef Dani García has opened the first UK outpost of his renowned BiBo brand downstairs. The best incentive yet to rediscover Shoreditch.

Library Lounge at The Standard

The Standard London, King's Cross Arrow

Best for: Coal Drops Yard cool

Having cracked Manhattan , Miami and Hollywood since it was founded 20 years ago, when The Standard London opened in 2019 it brought a much-needed edge to King's Cross. Its Brutalist building and former annex of Camden Town Hall was much maligned by locals who nicknamed it the egg box. Now, with its red-pill-shaped lift that scales the Euston Road façade, it more than squares up to the splendid Gothic Revival St Pancras station nearby. Inside, American designer Shawn Hausman, a long-time Standard collaborator, created all the spaces with a decade-switching look that is mind-boggling and fabulous. Utilitarian civic signage meets Seventies Milanese terrazzo and tiling: Transport for London’s colour palette inspired the loud carpets; and the colourways, shapes and humour of Italian design movement Memphis permeate everything. Rooms range from about £199 for a single, aimed at students and early-bird Eurostar travellers, to about £729 for a terraced room with an outdoor bathtub overlooking St Pancras. Expect Memphis design meets Miami with a mix of bright colours and pastels, crazy carpets and tiles. Furniture is both vintage and bespoke and all the rooms have great views. The hotel's 10th-floor restaurant Decimo continues to be one of the hottest tables in town, where Michelin-starred chef Peter Sanchez-Iglesias highlights Spanish dishes with a Mexican twist and a cocktail menu full of margaritas. The downstairs cocktail bar Double Standard serves burgers, fish and chips and pints, while next-door Isla offers seasonal British small plates.

The Hari London

The Hari, Belgravia Arrow

Best for: romantic liaisons

With the flurry of London openings in recent years, you’d be forgiven for overlooking hotels such as The Hari, but this is a contemporary bolthole with an artistic temperament and loft-style bedrooms that are a pleasure to dawdle in. And while many of London’s classic hits are a stroll away, staying in for an evening isn’t to be sniffed at either, drifting on a little passeggiata from the bar with its riffs on classic cocktails down to the restaurant for authentic Italian dishes . There’s a real sense of being tucked away here, of bedrooms being chic dens from which you can peek out at London, with decor mixing Starck-like polish with just a little burlesque (a waft of gauze, a lingerie-clad portrait) and lithographs such as Tracey Emin’s ‘She Lay Down’. For a personable, well-connected London base tucked away in Belgravia – this feels like a secret hotel for romantic liaisons or a weekend break taking in a show or exhibition, shopping on Sloane Street then stretching out for an indulgent Sunday morning.

The Lanesborough

The Lanesborough, Hyde Park

Best for: Regency grandeur

Minimalists, modernists, fanciers of all things sleek, shiny, geometrical and monochrome – this is not the place for you. The Lanesborough was always an unrepentant riot of Regency splendour. In 2015 it reopened more unrepentant, riotous and Regency-splendid than ever. The Royal Suite, at £26,000 a night, is supposedly the most expensive in London – guilty as charged – but certain of the Junior Suites are among the most charming and cleverly contrived hotel rooms you will find anywhere. The celebrated Library Bar and cigar terrace are still there, little altered. The main restaurant, The Lanesborough Grill, deserves mention as one of the most spectacular dining rooms in town, where executive chef Shay Cooper serves intricate plates of food as the restaurant transforms from a brightly-lit space by day into a seductively glowing supper spot come evening.

The Snug at the Berkeley Bar

The Berkeley, Hyde Park Arrow

Best for: Seventies style

Part of the Maybourne Group, which also manages Claridge's and The Connaught, The Berkeley is a bit like both but not much like either. A child of the early 1970s, there are no heritage trappings; instead, the look is cool, low-key, non-specifically modern. Soothe your aching muscles and achieve a state of serenity at the Blue Bar, or at the health club, home to one of the best spas in London . The views over Hyde Park are excellent; the rooftop pool is itself as pretty as a picture, though too small to be of much use to anyone who actually wants to swim. By way of compensation, there is Andre Fu's 278-square-metre Opus Suite – a spectacular space boasting more impressive vistas.

The lobby at Nobu Hotel Portman Square

Nobu Hotel Portman Square, Marylebone Arrow

Best for: foodies

Nobu Hotel Portman Square spills out onto a cool, cosmopolitan terrace reminiscent of New York (fitting, perhaps, considering Lower Manhattan was where the legendary Nobu restaurant first opened in 1994) and builds on Nobu’s Park Lane legacy while adding fresh, minimalist rooms and chill-out spaces to complete the picture. There are no frills or fancy here – it’s all smooth urban energy with design-led chairs and sleek tables where London’s glitterati fine-dine on signature dishes such as black cod miso and yellowtail sashimi, sizzling wagyu beef, Chilean sea bass and wasabi lime miso. As one of the best restaurants in London , the space (and omakase multi-course tasting menu) feels grown up, sexy even, with flashes of diamonds, stilettos and red lacquered chopsticks, while the bedrooms demonstrate Japanese minimalism in its purest form: clean lines, muted woods, restrained natural fabrics. For a near-mythical, indulgent (and mind-blowingly tasty) lunch or supper experience, followed by a calming sleep in the bedrooms, this is a hotel that’s earned its spot occupying the corner of one of Marylebone ’s handsomest patches. Staying without booking a table in the restaurant is akin to visiting The Ritz and forgoing their famed London afternoon tea.

Beaverbrook Town House, Chelsea Arrow

Best for: a country house in the city

A smart offshoot of the Surrey Hills original, this property has taken over a pair of restored Georgian townhouses in a prime position near Sloane Square. It feels like a joyous and timely celebration of the capital – especially on the stairs where an extraordinary collection of artwork has been cherry-picked by creative director and advertising legend Frank Lowe: old posters for the Boat Race, Brooks’ Peckham Brewery and Kew Gardens. Just as bedrooms in the country mansion pay homage to former owner Lord Beaverbrook’s friends and guests, here each one is named after a London theatre, with framed programmes of past productions and books on opera and Laurence Olivier. Interior designer Nicola Harding, who previously worked on the estate’s Garden House, has used a bolder, more playful palette for this spin-off, lending it a grown-up urban edge. Four-posters and fringed velvet sofas sit alongside antique desks, patterned lampshades and cushions made from vintage fabrics by Penny Worrall; bathrooms are equally colourful, with glassy tiles in rich apple green and bottle blue. On the ground floor, a Japanese apothecary cabinet at the entrance of the arsenic-hued, Art Deco-detailed bar marks a shift to the East. The best spot in the Fuji Grill restaurant, helmed by ex-Dinings SW3 chef Alex Del, is at the counter, where a sensational 20-course omakase supper is prepared, combining traditional techniques with modern European elements for dishes that might include tuna dry aged in house and hamachi sashimi with smoked aubergine. This standout addition to the area – where the Cadogan reopened under Belmond in 2019 and Hotel Costes is slated for late 2022 – is part of a new chapter for Chelsea.

Restaurant at The Ritz London

The Ritz, Piccadilly Arrow

Best for: a grand dame

There have been a few changes at The Ritz in recent years. Above all there was the renovation of the Rivoli Bar (which serves the best-presented cocktails in London ) and the acquisition of the magnificent William Kent House next door (César Ritz's dream ever since he built the hotel in 1906). Yet the main public spaces – including the adored Palm Court and dining room, aligned along the sumptuous gallery that runs the length of the building, from Arlington Street at one end to Green Park at the other – remain little changed. Here you still have a sense, enhanced by the rich, warm, golden glow of this part of the hotel, of having found yourself preserved in amber. No celebrity interior-designers have been let loose on the rooms, which retain their original Louis XVI style and a lustrous palette of pinks, yellows and blues. Ravishing.

Suite bathroom at ShangriLa Hotel at The Shard London

The Shangri-La at the Shard, London Bridge Arrow

Best for: the views

Never has a traffic jam on the Old Kent Road looked so enchanting – everything seen from The Shangri-La looks enchanting. The hotel occupies floors 34 to the 52 of Renzo Piano's 87-storey London landmark. The rooms (contemporary, creamy, Asian-influenced), restaurants (especially the romantic Ting) and bar (gin and rosemary – divine) are all fantastic, though nothing can compete with the extraordinary views over London , which turn every guest into a slack-jawed infant, lost in wonder, gazing out, palms to the window, all day long. At night, sitting cross-legged on the bed with the blackout blinds open is like being on a magic carpet, floating high above the ceaseless glow of the great city.

Dean Street Townhouse London.

Dean Street Townhouse, Soho Arrow

Best for: Soho House fans

This Soho House outpost comprises three adjoining Georgian townhouses close to the original club. Rooms (Tiny, Cosy, Small, Medium and Bigger) are fetchingly pale and interesting, and no two are exactly alike. Care has been taken over every little detail – mirrors, lighting, throws, digital everything. The descriptively named Dining Room dishes up oysters, Scotch eggs, mince-and-potatoes, apple and blackberry pie. And while the silvered tea and coffee tins hint at the black-Labs-and-wellies wholesomeness of sister property Babington House, this is more Dangerous Liaisons territory, providing stiff competition for the nearby Soho Hotel.

The Royal Suite living room at The Savoy London

The Savoy, Covent Garden Arrow

Best for: Art Deco vibes

Though people tend to think of it as monolithic and unchanging, The Savoy has something of a split personality and has in fact changed a great deal over the years. It's decorated in Edwardian style on the Thames side – from which Monet and Whistler painted the river – but it's quintessentially Art Deco on the Strand side. Rooms are large and traditional but never frumpy; and in a world of shrinking bathtubs , The Savoy's remain satisfyingly deep. The Savoy Grill is excellent and The River Restaurant by Gordon Ramsay brings the best of British seafood and shellfish; and the hotel is blessed with two of the finest watering holes in London, The American Bar, granddaddy of London's cocktail bars, and its younger, sassier sibling, The Beaufort Bar. So don't even try to make it an 'either/or' proposition – it must be an 'and'.

The Beaumont, Mayfair Arrow

Best for: art aficionados

This used to be a multi-storey car park, you may be surprised to learn. The Beaumont is named after Jimmy Beaumont, a fictional character from Prohibition-era New York. Hence the Art Deco trimmings, wood panelling, vintage photos, and red-leather banquettes in the Colony Grill Room, where the shrimp cocktail is as good at the steak. In this context, Antony Gormley's astonishing 'Room' literally sticks out like a sore thumb – a three-storey sculpture extruding from one side of the building, which also happens to contain a suite.

The Whitehall Penthouse Terrace at the Corinthia Hotel London.

Corinthia Hotel London, Trafalgar Square Arrow

Best for: the spa

As delicious as the huge slice of cake that it resembles when seen from the right spot by the Thames. No fewer than 1,001 Baccarat crystals illuminate the double-height, Victorian-pillared lobby, whose parquet floors and elegant palette of creams, caramels and charcoals with splashes of lime-green hint at the splendours beyond. Guests with a list of London landmarks to be checked off will find this a convenient base, within striking distance of Downing Street, Trafalgar Square, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Theatreland and the South Bank (if you take one of the top-floor suites with a terrace, you can save yourself some time and see all of them at once). The ESPA Life spa occupies four levels, with 15 treatment 'pods', a marble-and-leather spa lounge, glass-encased sauna and steel-lined pool.

Dukes Mayfair in London

Dukes, Mayfair Arrow

Best for: a Martini, shaken, not stirred

Practically hidden down a barely existent alleyway between St James's Street and Green Park. Practically hidden is how they like it here. Hushed, discreet, cosy and ever-so-English – yet by no means sombre, stuffy or stuck-up. How could anyone remain sombre, stuffy or stuck-up after a martini perfectly prepared by Alessandro Palazzi in one of the greatest bars on the face of the earth? This was supposedly where Ian Fleming first envisioned James Bond ordering his favourite drink 'shaken, not stirred'. The GBR (Great British Restaurant) is delightful; so is the entirely chic Cognac and cigar garden.

Hotel Caf Royal Piccadilly

Hotel Café Royal, Piccadilly Arrow

Best for: shopping getaways

This revamped Regent Street landmark combines fin de siècle opulence with streamlined modernity. There are subtle references to its storied past – vases filled with tulips are a silent salute to Oscar Wilde, who once drank so much absinthe in the Grill Room that he hallucinated he was cavorting in a field of the flowers. The Grill Room has been turned into a bar, and its opulent gilt and mirrors have been sexed up with a frankly immodest blush of red furnishings. Recover your composure downstairs at the Akasha spa, which specialises in watsu aquatic-massage treatments.

The sterling master bedroom at The Langham

The Langham, Marylebone Arrow

Best for: Victoriana

If it feels as though The Langham has been there forever, that's because, in hotel terms, it pretty much has. But a century and a half on, it's looking grand, as sophisticated and elegant as it did when Napoleon III spent the night. These days the Victoriana and chinoiserie are offset by smooth, occasionally quirky contemporary elements – notably in the award-winning Artesian bar, with its timber chandeliers, imitation-snakeskin flooring and resin-topped tables. It would be difficult to name a finer hotel restaurant than Roux at the Landau, where father-and-son dream team Albert and Michel Roux Jr have been casting their culinary spells.

travel weekly london hotels

The London Edition, Fitzrovia Arrow

Best for: party people

A restaurant with rooms ? That wouldn't be entirely fair, but there's no escaping the fact that chef Jason Atherton's ground-floor Berners Tavern is the palpitating heart of the hotel. The lobby cocktail bar, oak-panelled, reservation-only Punch Room and nightclub Basement only increase the pulse-rate. Ian Schrager 's considered, gimmick-free design has given the stucco, marble and stained-glass of the historic lobby a funky edge; upstairs, rooms are James Bond-slick, with buttoned-linen George Smith sofas alongside Scandinavian wishbone chairs and Schrager's trademark floor-to-ceiling white drapes. They are also marvellously quiet, a perfect antidote to the hubbub below.

Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park

Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, Knightsbridge Arrow

Best for: walks in the park

The Queen learnt to dance in the ballroom of this splendidly florid pile. A great deal has changed since then. There's now an award-winning, state-of-the-art spa, a restaurant from Heston Blumenthal alongside the buzzy Aubrey, and perpetually packed bars (not one, not two, but three, and all terrific in their very different ways). In June 2018, straight off the back of the biggest refurbishment in this Hyde Park hotel’s history, a major roof fire kept the hotel closed for another 10 months. Reopening in April 2019, the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park retains elements of its gentler, more cosily traditional past, but with interiors that have had a modern makeover, and are significantly lighter and brighter. Meanwhile, the clippity-clop that rises faintly from the Hyde Park side as horses from the Household Cavalry make their way past the hotel never gets old.

Manor House Suite at Rosewood London.

Rosewood London, Holborn Arrow

Best for: a glossy stay

With their first foray into London, Rosewood has created not just a magnificent new hotel but a whole new neighbourhood: 'Midtown', previously known, without any of that implied New York spunk, as plain old Holborn. Yet the location is extraordinary, starting with the most unexpected of courtyards, like a mini Somerset House, from which a kind of country-house vibe emanates – a country house, however, with a tremendous sense of wit and panache. The style of the interiors is difficult to characterise, by turns demure and decadent, muted and glossy, traditional and contemporary. The overall effect is dazzling. The perpetually jammed Scarfe's Bar and the elegantly elongated Mirror Room are at either end of an exquisitely lit bronze corridor that insulates the lobby from the outside world. The Holborn Dining Room, run by Calum Franklin, adds a lively brasserie buzz. Sitting outside in the courtyard terrace in summer with a glass of something chilled is a joy.

Deluxe suite bedroom at Bulgari Hotel London

Bulgari Hotel and Residences, Knightsbridge Arrow

Best for: a taste of Italy

Just when you thought the vita in this part of town couldn't get any more dolce , along came this gem from the great Roman jewellery house. It's all very hard-edged and stealthily spoiling, but softened and enlivened with thoughtful design touches such as bedside lamps inspired by Bulgari 's classic silver candlesticks. The clever use of subterranean space is one of The Bulgari's distinguishing features – there's a serious screening room, the swimming pool is positively radiant with golden mosaic tiles, and the spa is among the biggest and best in the city.

Four Seasons Hotel Park Lane

Four Seasons Hotel Park Lane, Mayfair Arrow

The proverbial oasis of calm over the Circus Maximus that is Hyde Park Corner. Trust Four Seasons stalwart Pierre-Yves Rochon to keep things elegant but well and truly on the down-low. There are no expressive upheavals or synapse-battering splashes of colour here – apart, perhaps, from the red chairs in the excellent Italian restaurant Amaranto (which is as good for breakfast as it is for dinner). Otherwise, the most conspicuous decorative features are the use of discreet walnut and sycamore panelling in the rooms, and the large-format black-and-white fashion photos from Vogue in the corridors. The spa on the tenth floor has serene park views, and perpetuates the chilled-out ambience.

Claridge’s, mayfair.

London’s most famous and talked about Mayfair Hotel has welcomed everyone from members of the Royal Family, A-List celebrities, foreign dignitaries, and aristocrats since it first swung open its doors in 1812. Staff are always at the very top of their game and service is traditionally old school in this art deco glam blast from the past. The afternoon tea service is legendary, as are the world-famous Fumoir and Claridge’s bars. Rooms are ultra-luxurious, many of which are the work of celebrity designers from Andre Fu to Boss Studio. It’s a bucket list hotel that for over a century, has never failed to woo guests with its throwback charm.

The Savoy London, The Strand

The UK’s first “luxury hotel” has been setting standards high since it opened in 1889. Decades on, The Savoy has its fair share of headline restaurants and brilliant bars, the award-winning American Bar and the rather lush River Restaurant to name a few. Home to the Savoy Theatre, it’s a hotel that oozes character and history. It was a firm favorite of Oscar Wilde and Charlie Chaplin, and Hollywood greats from Marilyn Monroe to Elizabeth Taylor have swung by over the years. Rooms are maximalist in every way imaginable (the Gucci suite speaks for itself) with comfy beds and roomy tubs, plus the views over the Thames and London Eye are near unbeatable.

The Connaught Hotel, Mayfair

Though it might cost a little bit more, staying in Central London will save you money in travel fares as so much of the city is easily walkable.

This one is perfect for foodies and families. Sister to Mayfair grand dame, Claridge’s Hotel, The Connaught is all about fine living. The world-famous Connaught Bar draws in all the buzzing crowds, as do the hotel’s restaurants masterminded by chefs Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Hélène Darroze. Rooms come in all shapes and sizes and feature all the latest luxury amenities. For extra pampering, don’t miss the underground AMAN spa, and if you are looking for great family day outs, the concierge can plan everything from a personalized itinerary to car hire and more.

The Hoxton, Southwark

The Hoxton is easily one of London’s coolest stays. The vibe is no-fuss thrills with a design aesthetic that was truly made for the Instagram feed. There are several outposts in the city from the original in Shoreditch to Holborn and White City, but when it comes to wow factor, none beat the hotel’s Southwark outpost. Rooms are cozy, super snug, and some come with unbeatable views of the nearby landmark The Shard. The jewel in its crown comes courtesy of Seabird, the hotel’s rooftop bar and restaurant. The basque-inspired food is excellent, as are the views from the dreamy plant-flecked terrace.

Mama Shelter, Bethnal Green

The latest design-led hotel concept to hit Bethnal Green is the super cool and super affordable Mama Shelter . While it looks over-the-top the crowd trumps all the trends with their edgy slacks and alternative clothing brands, so if you are looking for a stay that’s different from the rest, this is where to check-in. The bedrooms are flat-packed and feature cheeky toiletries and bright velvet pillows on the beds. It’s more of a one-night kind of hotel, hence the absence of a wardrobe or minibar but the hope for the owners is that this will force you to go out and explore the local area. Breakfast is delicious, traditional, and not to be missed.

The Culpeper, Spitalfields

If you seriously want to experience a slice of east London, The Culpeper is where it’s at. The pub with rooms is perfect for adults in search of a fun and romantic weekend that won’t break the bank. Rooms are a vision of polished concrete, exposed painted brickwork, and finer industrial details, and you’ll also find one of the city’s most exciting cocktail and natural wine list menus in The Culpeper bar. Food? All deliciously seasonal and gourmet with menus that celebrate local suppliers and businesses.

Rosewood London, Holborn

The best part about staying here is its location . You are a hop and skip away from Covent Garden, minutes away from the British Museum and if you want to catch a show, Theatreland is a brisk five-minute walk west. A favorite of the likes of Justin Bieber, stay here if you want something extra special for the family. 24-hour room service is just one of the perks, as is the lower ground temple bar, ultra-moody Scarfe’s Bar and the Dining Room, a lovely spot to grab dinner in. Rooms come with all the mod-cons, including AC and marble bathrooms.

Treehouse Hotel London, West End

The Treehouse is all about having fun. It’s great for an adult weekend or families in search of a central London stay that does not max out the credit card. Conveniently located on the top end of Regent Street right next to the BBC HQ on Langham Place, the hotel is close to all the top attractions from shopping haven Oxford Street, Piccadilly Circus, Regent’s Park, and posh Mayfair. The hotel takes up five floors, all offering stylish places, whimsical backdrops, and from the bedrooms, epic views of the streets below.

The Standard London

Aside from its great prices and perfect location, the beauty of staying at The Standard is that it’s a great base for a double whammy: you can easily explore London and the rest of the UK thanks to nearby King’s Cross Station. Ultra-modern, the spaces attract a cool crowd who love nothing more than to chill on the hotel’s rooftop which boasts spectacular views of London and beyond. Standard rooms come with comfy beds and thoughtful minibars, and if you splurge on a suite, you’ll be treated to views of the very Gothic St Pancras station next door.

The Pilgrm Hotel, Paddington

If you fancy something a little out of the city, book a room at The Pilgrm . The Victorian townhouse is somewhat of a community staple with locals flocking to its coffee shop for perfectly roasted java. Bedrooms are wonderfully minimal and feature original fixtures and reclaimed 200-year-old parquet flooring. Food is another bonus and is made under the watchful eye of Ian Aungier. Expect casual eats that pack a flavorful punch. The hotel’s central suburban location means it’s easy to get to anywhere in the city and it’s within walking distance way from London’s popular Notting Hill neighborhood.

The Zetter Townhouse, Clerkenwell

For those looking for a very quirky, London-centric stay say ‘ello to The Zetter Townhouse . Tucked away in Clerkenwell, the homey boutique hotel is an advert for all things eclectic. Fun curios are dotted all around the place, in addition to period furniture and ornaments collected from different periods. There are only 13 rooms and suites, so it’s all about small living, but on a grand scale. The afternoon tea here is also legendary and the concierge will point you in the direction of all the cool shops, restaurants, bars, and cafes the locals can’t get enough of.

When to book a hotel in London

Top tips for finding london hotel deals.

  • If you’re looking for a cheap hotel in London, you should consider visiting during the low season. You'll find cheaper hotels in London in March and January.
  • Hotel room prices vary depending on many factors but you’ll most likely find the best hotel deals in London if you stay on a Tuesday. The opposite is true for, Monday, which is usually the most expensive day.
  • Book at least 90 days before your stay begins to get the best price for your London hotel.

  • Considering it's one of the largest and most notable cities in the world, there are plenty of London hotels that offer world-class experiences - some great choices include the Sea Containers London and the Intercontinental London . You should also check out the Montcalm Royal London House and the Threadneedles Autograph Collection , as these are all some of the finest hotels available in London.
  • London is a popular city for business trips and hotels will clear out considerably once the traditional work week ends. Plan your vacation in advance and with this in mind and you’ll have better luck finding a nice room within your budget. The Hilton London Canary Wharf and Park Plaza Westminster Bridge are two examples.
  • Worried about getting around the city without paying for expensive cabs? Consider London hotels that are conveniently located next to the public metro system , such as The Portobello Hotel , which is less than a mile from Notting Hill Gate metro station. Consider also Ravna Gora Hotel , which is a cheaper hotel near this stop.
  • If you’re planning to have a busy city experience with plenty of nightlife, take a look at one of the many London hotels in the West End . The West End is where most of the theaters, art galleries, and clubs are located. Prices for these hotels vary greatly, but you can often find cheap hotels in London if you plan ahead, even for hotels in Soho, like The Z Hotel .
  • Don’t be afraid to choose a hotel in London located in a quieter and more calm part of the city outside the West End , such as in Kensington. Kensington has great access to the local metro, known as the Tube, and it is very easy to travel to central London and the surrounding local airports. Hotel Indigo and The Pelham London are two options that are both within range of the city center.
  • For those who are catching trains at King’s Cross and would like to be conveniently located near the station, consider The Kings Cross Inn Hotel London , which is only 5 minutes away on foot. Another option is the cheaper Jesmond Dene Hotel , which is also 5 minutes away from the station.
  • If you plan on making a day trip to waterside towns such as Southend-on-Sea you will definitely want to stay on the eastern side of London along Highway A13. The Premier Inn London Dagenham makes a good choice for this type of trip to get to the coast and also back to Central London.
  • If you would like to get out and play one of the historic golf courses in this area, a great choice would be the Stokley Park Golf Club with a location just to the west of London. The Lime House is just a short drive to the south of the course.
  • If you have never considered doing horseback riding as an activity on vacation but would like to give it a try when you are in London, a great choice would be to head east of London to the Docklands Equestrian Center. The Innkeeper's Lodge Hornchurch makes a great hotel choice in this area, yet still offers easy access to Downtown London.
  • If the thought of doing target and skeet shooting while you are in London sounds like a great idea, a wonderful location would be to head to the Target Shooting School found southwest of London. The Park Hotel London offers a location quite close to this destination.

17 best hotels in London for every type of traveler

Lori Zaino

Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available. View the current offers here .

The city of London has thousands of hotels, which makes it near-impossible to select just the right one. When you factor in things like the neighborhood, budget and personal tastes, searching for the perfect spot spend a night (or many) can seem overwhelming.

To help narrow things down, TPG has pulled together a list of the best hotels, taking into consideration that some people prefer something stylish, some are looking for a splurge, others want to use points and others just want something affordable yet comfortable and safe. So, for your next trip to London, here are some of the best hotels to stay in -- or maybe even for just grabbing a quick drink or afternoon tea.

Remember, if you're booking a hotel without a loyalty or points program, you can always see if the hotel participates in the Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts program. Cardholders of The Platinum Card® from American Express have access to the program, which offers perks and benefits when booking at participating hotels, such as:

  • Room upgrade upon arrival, when available;
  • Daily breakfast for two people;
  • Guaranteed 4 p.m. late checkout;
  • Noon check-in, when available;
  • Complimentary Wi-Fi; and
  • Unique property amenity, such as a spa or food and beverage credit.

For hip luxury

1. rosewood london.

This monumental Edwardian hotel has it all: contemporary, luminous guestrooms, the signature Sense Spa, butler service options and a number of distinctive dining/drinking options. The TPG favorite is definitely the Rosewood's Scarfes Bar. It has a warm, inviting members-only type feel and a music-inspired graphic menu featuring innovative cocktails.

Room rates start at $593 per night.

2. Shangri-La at the Shard

The Shard is the tallest building in the U.K., making the Shangri-La at the Shard a step above (literally) most other London hotels. The luxury property starts on floor 34 and occupies 18 levels of the skyscraper, overlooking the River Thames and London's urban sprawl below. It's also home to London's highest infinity swimming pool .

Room rates start at $611 per night.

For classical luxury

3. the corinthia.

Once home to the U.K.'s Ministry of Defence offices, the historical Victorian landmark underwent a massive renovation that was completed in 2011. The Corinthia 's guestrooms feature amenities like marble bathrooms with heated floors and king beds, but if you'd prefer things like a private lift and a spacious outdoor terrace with a fireplace, life-size chess set and views of the London Eye , you'll have to splurge for the Whitehall Penthouse.

Room rates start at $723, but the Whitehall Penthouse will cost you close to $5,160 per night.

4. Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park

Although the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park features elegant, traditional English decor, the hotel, which overlooks the park, still feels crisp and new thanks to a recent renovation. Guestrooms overlook the park or a charming English courtyard, and suites come complete with butler service -- some even have fireplaces.

Room rates start at $885 per night.

5. Claridge's

This timeless Mayfair landmark dates back to 1856, hosting famous historical figures like Queen Victoria and Audrey Hepburn to celebs like Kate Moss. Claridge's furnishing and decor are traditional yet chic, with some guestrooms and suites designed by Diane von Furstenburg and David Linley. Fans of the famed decor can even bring some of it home with Claridge's online shop .

Room rates start at $745 per night.

6. The Langham

Full of historic charm, the Langham dates back to 1865 -- its opening ceremony was performed by none other than the Prince of Wales. With 360 rooms and suites, the Palm Court, which has been serving up afternoon tea since the olden days, and the Chuan Body + Soul, a wellness center with spa and fitness options, this West End property's spacious luxury will immediately charm you.

Room rates start at $341 per night.

7. The Savoy

One of the most coveted hotels in Europe, the Savoy (a Fairmont property) is best known among AvGeeks as the spot where Etihad's A380 Residence butlers are rumored to have completed an intensive course before working flights. Between the Thames Foyer's stunning glass cupola and the famed American Bar (voted the World's Best Bar in 2017), you'll never want to leave.

Room rates start at $734 per night.

8. The Ritz

Room rates start at $559 per night.

For budget travelers

9. mama shelter.

For a funky stay on a budget , Mama Shelter in east London has hip yet comfortable rooms featuring smart TVs with free movies on demand and safes built into the nightstands.

For points travelers

11. the academy london.

The Academy London (a member of Hyatt's Small Luxury Hotels ) is the result of five Georgian townhouses converted into a hotel. Just steps away from Russell Park, the Edwardian brick terraced buildings blend in seamlessly with their surroundings, and the hotel's interior is just as charming: an Art Deco-inspired bar and attached courtyard, a vintage library filled with books and a small but welcoming lobby.

Room rates start at $198 or 20,000 Hyatt points per night.

12. The London EDITION

Located in Fitzrovia on the edge of Soho, the London EDITION has the traditional Ian Schrager Edition guestroom staples: wood-paneled walls and the furry throw blanket, but also a distinct modern British charm. The dark, moody Berner's Tavern features cuisine by Michelin-starred U.K. chef Jason Atherton -- and if you're willing to splurge, stay in a room or suite with outdoor space.

Room rates for the Bonvoy Category 7 property start at $626 or 50,000 points per night.

13. 100 Queen's Gate Hotel

This Hilton Curio Collection property was once a former 1870s townhouse but is now a Victorian hotel. Although you can use your points to stay at 100 Queen's Gate , boutique hotel fans will enjoy decor details like moldings, chandeliers and rich, velvety fabrics throughout the historical property. The W/A Kensington Restaurant & Bar and the ESQ bar are particularly chic places to hang out and enjoy British-fusion cuisine or cocktails.

Room rates start at $164 or 60,000 points per night.

14. InterContinental London Park Lane

For contemporary British vibes, stay at the InterContinental Park Lane . Ideal for business or leisure travelers craving a sleek and central place to stay, guestrooms look out over the hotel's courtyard or Hyde Park's verdant green foliage.

Note this hotel reopens on September 21, 2020.

Room rates start at $297 or 60,000 IHG reward points per night.

For boutique hotel fans

15. ham yard hotel.

The Ham Yard Hotel describes itself as an "urban village". Considering it features 91 colorful guestrooms/suites, 24 apartments, 13 independent stories, a rooftop terrace, spa, gym, theatre, drawing room, library, bowling alley and more -- a village (or perhaps even a town) seems like an accurate description.

Room rates start at $465 per night.

The Ham Yard Hotel. (Photo courtesy of Ham Yard Hotel)

16. The Curtain Hotel

Complete with a rooftop pool and lounge, a spa, co-working space, a screening room, a buzzy member's club and 120 guestrooms/suites, The Curtain is located in the hip neighborhood of Shoreditch. This hotel is for the cool kids -- so expect trendy amenities to match -- exposed brick, Marshall speakers, artwork by Pete Hawkins and some very inviting freestanding bathtubs.

Note this hotel is currently closed, but reopening with new Covid-19 measures in place soon.

Room rates start at $323 per night.

The Curtain Hotel. (Photo courtesy of The Curtain)

17. The Hoxton Holborn

This hipster hub has 220 guestrooms -- aptly named for their size from Shoebox to Biggy. You might as well be in Brooklyn with guestrooms decked out in leather furnishings complete with industrial brass and wood details, but you're not -- instead, you're smack in the centre of London with easy access to everything (walls have Dickens-inspired wallpaper as a reminder, too).

Room rates start at $140.

The Hoxton Holborn. (Photo courtesy of Hoxton)

Bottom line

When it comes to the London hotel scene, you're spoilt with choice. So much choice, in fact, that it may be tough to pick just the right spot. But this list can help, whether you've got points to burn, are on a budget or are looking to go all out. And whether it's a staycation at home or your first trip to the U.K., London -- and this list -- has a hotel for you.

The best deals for Hotel Week London

Hotel week london sees some 45 of the capital’s most luxurious hotels come together to offer discounts and enhanced packages for domestic travellers. here are some of the best hotels for a capital staycation, by nick hendry, published: tuesday 1st june 2021.

Over a year has passed since the world as we knew it changed forever. So used to hopping on a flight to Firenze or a train to Paris, suddenly we were confined to not just our island, but our postcodes, and the concept of a quick, last-minute city break became a distant memory. Summer on a Spanish beach or winter in a Bavarian market were whipped off our collective list of options in a way we could never have imagined.

Thankfully, 2021 is finally turning into the year of rebirth we so hoped it would be. Vaccines are being dished out, hugs are once again legal (cautious ones, mind – whatever that means) and holidays are creeping back into the national psyche as something we may actually get away with this year. After nigh on 18 months of cabin fever, we may finally get that change of scenery we all crave.

That said, we should perhaps not get too excited – there are still a fair few hoops to jump through before we go gallivanting across the globe as we once did. For the great many of us who may still be a touch nervous around foreign infection levels, or frankly can’t be arsed with all the rigmarole around seven nights in Mykonos, there is one ideal solution: Hotel Week London.

Finally allowed to reopen, and with the intention of bringing respite to those of us who are aching for the chance to escape the home office for a decent length of time, Hotel Week London sees some 45 of the capital’s most luxurious hotels come together to offer discounts and enhanced packages for domestic travellers. The initiative officially runs from 28th May until 6th June, but many of the properties have already extended their offers until the of June. Here, we round up some of our favourites – plus a couple of bonus options if you want to venture further afield. 

ROSEWOOD LONDON 

Rosewood London

Anyone who has strolled down High Holborn for business or pleasure will surely have noticed Rosewood London, so striking is the building itself. Entering through its impressive courtyard we can find a selection of bars, dining room and wellness centres, as well as some of the most elegant suites in the city.

Admire the artworks lining the foyer and hallways, enjoy an extraordinarily fancy pie in The Pie Room and end the night sipping fine scotch whisky on the al fresco MacAllan Manor House.

252 High Holborn, WC1V 7EN;  Rosewood

DUKES LONDON

DUKES LONDON

Dukes is a little gem, nestled in the grand old streets of St James’s and as renowned for the legendary martinis crafted by maestro Alessandro Palazzi as for the luxury of the accommodations.

The Hotel Week London offer includes an aperitif designed in celebration of the occasion by the man himself which will no doubt be the perfect warm-up to dinner at their Great British Restaurant followed by cigars and cognac in the garden. Burn off all the indulgence in the morning with a walk around Green Park, mere moments from the hotel’s front door.

35 St James's Pl, SW1A 1NY;  Dukes

MANDARIN ORIENTAL HYDE PARK

MANDARIN ORIENTAL HYDE PARK

With a spectacular frontage on Knightsbridge, minutes from Harrod’s and just at the top of Sloane Street, the Mandarin Oriental is ideally located for a break which takes advantage of the return of retail.

Add a terrace from which you can gaze onto Hyde Park, extensive spa facilities and Dinner by Heston Blumenthal on-site and you have one of the most luxurious experiences on this list. Spectacular views from the suites and the legendary service associated with the brand complete what is a truly exceptional offer.

66 Knightsbridge, SW1X 7LA;  Mandarin Oriental

ANDAZ LONDON LIVERPOOL STREET

ANDAZ LONDON LIVERPOOL STREET,

Andaz London has breathed new life into a Victorian building on the edge of Shoreditch and is perfect for those who want to explore the vibrancy of East London. It houses no fewer than five restaurants, and offers in-room wellness treatments perfect for revitalising the body after a long afternoon pounding the pavements of the local area.

A fresher, more modern vibe abounds at this end of town, and this property captures it perfectly. Check out the signature Suite 104, designed by Sir Terence Conran and offering great views of the surrounding area.

40 Liverpool Street, EC2M 7QN;  Hyatt

THE LANDMARK LONDON

THE LANDMARK LONDON

Marylebone is one of London’s most stylish neighbourhoods, with a wealth of big name brands alongside fantastically chic independent boutiques and an array of eating and drinking options that will leave you spoilt for choice.

Fortunately, the sprawling edifice that houses this hotel has enough under its own roof that you need not leave its embrace to find the luxury you deserve – the Mirror Bar is known for having the best cocktails in the area, perfect for unwinding after a tough day at the in-house spa and building an appetite for dinner in the Winter Garden in the building’s spectacular atrium.

222 Marylebone Road, NW1 6JQ;  Landmark London

THE GLASSHOUSE

THE GLASSHOUSE

Scotland’s capital needs no introduction as a place to visit for its astonishing cityscape, world-class bars and locally sourced cuisine. The chapel which forms the frontage of The Glasshouse was built in 1846, making it a relative adolescent in this ancient town, and was restored as part of the renovations to create the hotel.

Luxurious suites and a location at the top of Leith Walk, just steps away from both Old and New Towns, make this a fabulous base to explore from, but the real star must surely be the two-acre roof terrace, overlooking the historic Calton Hill and the perfect place to enjoy an al-fresco breakfast or a post-meal cigar.

2 Greenside Pl, Edinburgh, EH1 3AA;  The Glasshouse

KINLOCH LODGE

KINLOCH LODGE

Simply put, the Isle of Skye is stunning. From the Fairy Pools to the Old Man of Storr, you are guaranteed to find scenery that will take your breath away whichever corner of the island you choose to visit. Kinloch Lodge is the ideal start and finish point for this exploration – a family business set in a farmhouse that dates back to the 17th century and today offers warm welcomes, wilderness pursuits and whisky.

Rise at the break of dawn to stalk deer around the grounds and return to a hearty meal and a roaring fire before taking a place by the firepit in the grounds to watch the sunset. There can be no better tonic to such a long period spent with nothing but your laptop and living room to stare at.
