Fine dining, modern styling, and in the heart of theaterland

Wi-Fi is free of charge and available throughout the entire hotel.

Want a great place to stay in London?

GREAT LOCATION, FREINDLY SERVICE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF. I HAD UPGRADED MY ROOM TO A CLUB WHICH I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD DO THAT 'CAUSE IT'S WELL WORTH IT SINCE IT INCLUDES A REALLY BRKST BUFFET AND AXIS TO THE FITNESS CENTER ACROSS THE STREET. I HAD A NICE QUIET ROOM IN THE CORNER AND SLEPT REALLY WELL.

Fantastic couple getaway

We stayed in a club room #521. It was very clean, well appointed, and we loved the bathroom. The staff was very friendly and very responsive. Even though it was a little expensive,($225.00+ a night). After staying there, we consider it worth it. The location of the hotel was the best. Easy to get to tube station, and not a bad walk for those whom like walking to attractions. I will stay here again.

3-day stay at the Strand

Three-night stay was memorable - nice room, little outside noise, extremely clean. There was a good buzz in the hotel as well as the surrounding area, just down the road from Covent Garden. Nice restaurants close by with friendly staff. Overall a most enjoyable experience.

No Title

Great location with at least four theatre with live shows within a two block walking distance. The concierge got me great tickets at a very reasonable price. Doorman excellent at getting cabs. No complaints about anything. Great sandwiches in the pub area with 30 minute free internet. Will stay there again when I return this fall.
