A landmark hotel between the Strand and the Thames, balancing Edwardian and Art Deco interiors with river-view rooms, storied bars, and an exceptionally central theater-district location.
Why We Chose It
One of London's great landmark hotels, operating continuously since 1889 on the Strand. Thames-facing suites, the American Bar (world-class cocktails since 1893), and a Kaspar's seafood grill. Art Deco and Edwardian wings offer distinct design experiences. The hotel that invented the afternoon tea service.
