Located in the middle of it all in Covent Garden, the hotel is within walking distance of all the theaters, museums and city sites. Built in 1907, it is housed in one of the most important Edwardian buildings in London. It boasts a private contemporary art and sculpture collection of over 400 pieces. Public spaces are chic enough without screaming for attention, and the luxurious rooms are minimalist without seeming cheap, with large beds and plush furniture. Not all style-conscious hotels come complete with 18-meter swimming pools and 24-hour gyms, but this one does. And the hotel's signature private screening room, the seats upholstered in blue leather with small martini tables adjacent, is perfect for meetings and private parties.
