The Café Royal Hotel is in the heart of West London and just a quick walk away from Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. The hotel has been around for over 150 years and has welcomed iconic guests including Oscar Wilde and Princess Diana. The spa was rated the #1 spa destination in London, with offerings you will not find elsewhere.

Shangri-La Hotel at The Shard

Located in Southwark’s iconic skyscraper The Shard, the Shangri-La Hotel offers rooms with sky-high views that can be seen through floor-to-ceiling windows and binoculars that come with each room. The hotel even boasts Western Europe’s highest swimming pool, situated 52 floors above London.

The Goring

The family-owned Goring is one of the most traditional English hotels, located right behind Buckingham Palace. A fun fact for Royal watchers: the Goring is where the Middleton family stayed before the royal wedding. Afternoon tea is taken extremely seriously here, with teas from all over the world included on the menu. The five-star hotel also holds a Michelin star dining room as well as a private garden.

The Good Hotel

Hoping to stay near the water? You can’t get any closer than the Good Hotel, a floating hotel on the River Thames. Staying here will also do some good, as the name states: 100% of the hotel’s profits go towards training unemployed workers to build careers in hospitality. Each room is a cozy cabin, with portholes looking out over the water. Head up to the roof deck at night for great views of London.
