The Rubens At The Palace Hotel
The Rubens At The Palace Hotel? Fittingly located on Buckingham Palace Road, it is a brilliant shout if you're searching for themed hotels in London. Not only does the retreat offer traditional British fare at The English Grill and a royal afternoon tea, but the haunt also has king-sized rooms featuring decor inspired by the British monarch. The pretty pics await.
There's even a beautiful curry room at this hotel
The Londoner
Hands down one of the best boutique hotels in London, this stunner is dripping with opulent vibes. The Londoner’s rooms have a minimalist design with calming colours, as well as plenty of other spaces to explore. From epic poolside cabanas to relaxing spa facilities and dining dens, the hotel is ideal for a much-needed escape from your day-to-day. Don’t forget to visit 8 At The Londoner, an elegant Japanese rooftop with a gorgeous lounge.
Situated in Leicester Square, this heavenly spot is an escape from the hustle and bustle.
Hux Hotel
After fun hotels in London for couples? Hux Hotel has plenty of Instagrammable moments, thanks to the vibrant colours and quirky décor. The Kensington spot promises 24 unique rooms, as well as a date night boozer, Hux's bar. Settle into velvet-clad seating, and you’ll be treated to a host of stunning sips, each inspired by an animal. We recommend getting the Pingu’s Pride for an aqua-coloured tipple with Thai basil-infused Tanqueray.
Geometric shapes and quirky cocktails make this hotel stand out.
Novotel Hotel
Located in Canary Wharf, Novotel Hotel has several sites, but we’re singling out this one for the stellar views of the city. Head to the three-storey restaurant bar, Bokan, where you’ll get to enjoy dinner and drinks with a view. After chowing down on a succulent lamb shank, take a dip into the pool. Plus, it also doesn’t hurt that you’ll be snoozing inside jewel-coloured sleeping quarters.
Have a look at its other locations, Novotel is one of the most modern hotels in London.
The Montague On The Gardens Hotel
Minutes away from The British Museum, it comes as no surprise that this sanctuary is a bit of a tourist hotspot. But equally, The Montague on The Gardens Hotel is quite a gem. During the warmer months, you can visit their quaint gardens, or check out the dreamy dining destinations. While Leopard Bar boasts South African décor and live jazz music, Blue Door Bistro evokes cosy chic vibes.
A beau-tea of a hotel this is...
Treehouse London Hotel
A Marylebone gem, Treehouse London Hotel is a fabulous find for a mini couples getaway. Rooms exude a modern feel with quirky accents – think sloth-shaped pillows, potted plants and antique lanterns. Equally pretty, the hotel's restaurant, Madera, has exquisite plates of Mexican cuisine while the Nest Rooftop Bar is your one-stop-shop for gorgeous greenery and sky-high views.
For cosy hotels in London, cuddle up at the Nest Rooftop Bar.
The Mandrake
The Mandrake is an excellent retreat fronting jaw-dropping rooms to die for. With dangling crystal chandeliers, an aesthetically-pleasing bathtub and cashmere beds, each suite has decadent prints throughout. And if you’re lucky enough to book The Penthouse, expect a lush jacuzzi bath and plush white interiors. But the real star? The first-floor jungle terrace, Jurema, which overlooks a chic courtyard.
From the rooms to the restaurants and bars, The Mandrake is one of the coolest hotels in London.
The Standard
Setting up camp in areas such as Manhattan, Miami and Hollywood, The Standard has quite the reputation. Brimming with character, the rooms have retro shapes everywhere you look, from the walls to the tiles and the bedding. Isla and Decimo are excellent hotel restaurants to check out, followed by a mood-boosting cocktail at Sweeties, a drinking den that utilises nootropics and adaptogens.
Head outside and you'll see the hotel's iconic red pill-shaped lift in action.
St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel London
If you're looking for influencer hotels in London, make your way over to the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel. Along with trendy plates and a swish bar, Booking Office 1869, the hallways have the most alluring spiral staircases - let's just say you can expect Instagram fanatics to be stationed here for a while. And when you're not admiring the Victorian interiors, you'll be making the most of the spa facilities.
Just picture yourself in the centre, and you've got a killer Insta pic.
Hotel 41
One of the most Instagrammable hotels in the UK, Hotel 41 is a unique sanctuary worth getting stuck into. We recommend spending the evening in the conservatory suite with translucent windows. The room even has a gold telescope, so you can star gaze from the comfort of your bed. For some entertainment, you'll also be treated to an exclusive cinema room, with popcorn, candy and cocktails at the ready.
If you manage to score The Conservatory, get ready for a starry night.
