The Hotel Café Royal is a London institution, with a history dating back to 1865, strategically positioned between the energy of Piccadilly Circus and the elegance of Regent Street. Following a meticulous restoration, the hotel offers modern luxury that honours its rich heritage, having been the preferred meeting place for figures like Oscar Wilde and David Bowie. It is a masterpiece of architecture and design.
The 160 rooms and suites are designed by architect David Chipperfield, offering a clean, contemporary, and minimalist design, focusing on the luxury of materials. Most accommodations feature spacious Carrara marble bathrooms and spectacular city views. The historic suites, such as the Oscar Wilde Room, maintain the original 19th-century opulence.
The culinary and entertainment offering revolves around iconic venues. The Ten Room serves modern British and continental dishes. The Green Bar, with its gilded ceilings and historic charm, is perfect for signature cocktails and light bites. The true gem is The Grill Room (formerly the Oscar Wilde Lounge), an opulent baroque hall where traditional Afternoon Tea is served.
The Akasha Holistic Wellbeing centre is a highlight, offering a wide range of treatments, a luxurious thermal area, and an illuminated 18-meter swimming pool. It is a peaceful retreat that combines a holistic approach to wellness with state-of-the-art facilities, ideal for regenerating body and mind amidst the city hustle.
