“Located in Covent Garden, this hotel offers a calming retreat with staff going above and beyond; its understated contemporary decor, double-glazed windows, and subterranean swimming pool provide a unique experience. The small considerate touches, fresh flowers everywhere, and the fun, accommodating waiter made for a truly special stay; its commitment to sustainability and a complimentary in-room personal bar add to the appeal. In my opinion, it's a remarkable blend of luxury and understated elegance.”
