Covent Garden Hotel

Covent Garden/Holborn

On a narrow side street in the bustling and chic Covent Garden district of London's West End, this splendidly theatrical small hotel's exclusive atmosphere and central location make it the perfect London pied-à-terre for visiting actors, professional shoppers, and savvy yet indulgent travelers. Once inside, you'll find the reception desk framed by lavish draperies—a nod to the stage curtains of the surrounding theatre district—and behind, a heavy stone staircase leading to the guest rooms upstairs.

ME London

Covent Garden/Holborn

As you'd expect from a new-build Norman Foster boutique hotel in the heart of London, it's a big deal. Big, sweeping architectural statements are made, especially in the nine-story pyramid-shaped atrium, while private revelations abound — the top-floor terraces have unrivaled views, and the suite in the corner tower boasts a 360-degree exposure. The interiors are crisp and modern, the rooms and suites reinforcing contemporary London's international character. More...
