Alternatives
Other hotels we have written up that may suit a different brief.
Number Sixteen
- Best for
- South Kensington museums, garden downtime and a quieter couples’ or solo city break.
- Trade-off
- Room layouts and outlooks vary
A calmer west-London boutique with 41 individually designed rooms and a rare private garden, especially persuasive for museum visits and travellers who want a townhouse base rather than Soho nightlife.
Booking tipAsk about floor, outlook and bathroom for the exact room; individually designed townhouse bedrooms are not interchangeable.
Artist Residence London
- Best for
- Couples and solo travellers who want a homely independent stay near Victoria without a corporate-hotel feel.
- Trade-off
- No lift to bedrooms across three upper floors
A genuinely small ten-bedroom townhouse where the appeal is intimacy rather than a long facility list, with a neighbourhood restaurant downstairs and useful Victoria access.
Booking tipAsk for advice on the exact room: layouts differ, there is no lift and public areas can feel livelier at weekends.
Ham Yard Hotel
- Best for
- A celebratory Soho stay, design lovers and travellers who want full-service facilities without anonymous décor.
- Trade-off
- Ninety-one rooms make it the least intimate hotel here
The large-scale design-hotel option: 91 individually designed bedrooms plus a theatre, spa, bowling alley and roof terrace, offering a boutique visual identity with far more facilities than the townhouse picks.
Booking tipDecide whether you will use the facilities enough to justify the premium, then compare the precise room size, outlook and included breakfast.
