Hand-curated for quality and value. Updated 2026.
Shoreditch — Great Eastern Street
The original Hoxton, and still the best. Compact rooms with vintage school-desk furniture, a ground-floor restaurant that's become a neighbourhood institution, and a location at the epicentre of East London's creative scene.
Soho — Frith Street
Three Georgian townhouses in the heart of Soho, furnished with genuine antiques — four-poster beds, claw-foot baths, and not a hint of corporate uniformity. Named after the essayist William Hazlitt, and every bit as literary.
Covent Garden — St Martin's Lane
Apartment-style suites with kitchenettes at hotel prices, steps from the theatres. The rooms are compact but smartly designed, and having your own kitchen in central London changes the economics of a long stay entirely.
Clerkenwell — St John's Square
A Georgian townhouse dressed like an eccentric aunt's drawing room — mismatched china, taxidermy, Victorian curiosities. The cocktail list is one of London's best, and the location between the City and Shoreditch suits almost everyone.
City of London — South Place
A sharp, design-forward hotel where the City meets Shoreditch. The rooftop restaurant and bar draw a post-work crowd, the spa is excellent for the price, and the rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city's newest skyline.
South Kensington — Harrington Road
A townhouse hotel on a quiet crescent steps from the V&A, Natural History Museum, and Hyde Park. The drawing room serves a proper afternoon tea, the rooms are classically English without being stuffy, and South Ken tube is 90 seconds away.
