The Londoner
A polished Leicester Square “super boutique” with 350 rooms, The Londoner combines sleek design, guest-only club spaces, a serious subterranean spa and a lively collection of restaurants and bars.
The Londoner occupies one of the most central addresses in the West End, directly on Leicester Square with Soho, Covent Garden, Chinatown and the theater district surrounding it. Despite its substantial size, the hotel presents itself as a more intimate “super boutique.”
Yabu Pushelberg’s interiors are contemporary and layered rather than conventionally grand. Guest rooms emphasize warm materials and controlled lighting, while the public spaces move between glamorous, residential and theatrical moods depending on the floor.
A major differentiator is The Residence, a collection of guest-only spaces designed to function like a private club within the hotel. These rooms give overnight guests somewhere to retreat from the intensity of Leicester Square without leaving the building.
The Retreat adds a full wellness component below ground, including a pool and spa facilities, while the hotel’s restaurants and bars range from the Mediterranean-leaning Whitcomb’s to the rooftop Japanese-inspired 8 at The Londoner. The Stage provides a polished setting for Champagne and afternoon tea.
The Londoner is particularly compelling for travelers who want to be in the middle of London nightlife and theater but still value controlled private spaces. It feels social and fashionable without making every part of the property public.
