You know where to shop, but how about where to drop? Luckily, Regent Street offers as many cosy hotels as it does flagship stores, so after an exhausting day of sampling cuisines, partaking in happy hour and perusing the shops, you can lay your weary head in style. It’s a tough life! 

Read on for our top picks on where to stay in Central London this summer. Trust us, they’re so inviting, it’s almost a shame to spend any time asleep there. 

Regent Street hotels

Known for its iconic curved street, world-class shopping, and cosmopolitan feel, Regent Street is the place to pitch up if you want to stay ahead of the ‘curve’! 

When nothing but the best will do

The Langham

A true icon of London, The Langham knows how to deliver on charm. With rooms full of natural daylight, sweeping cityscape views and quintessential British decor, you’ll have your very own cosybolthole amongst London’s hustle and bustle. And, with hospitality as warm as the weather, you’ll rest easy knowing you’ve picked the right stay.  

Some like it hot, so if the season’s heatwaves aren’t enough for you, The Langham also offers steam rooms and saunas in their famous Chuan Spa. Or, cool off after the gym in the atmospheric soak room.  

If you’ve built up an appetite from all that swimming and shopping, the hotel houses its own selection of dining spots. Sale e Pepe Mare brings the Italian Riviera to London, and Artesian is known worldwide for its innovative cocktails.

Hotel Café Royal

With a history of housing legendary guests (think Princess Diana and Oscar Wilde), Hotel Café Royal occupies a well-earned spot on our list. With Rolls-Royce chauffeur services and one of the best hotel spas in London, this London staple also combines a selection of interior design styles to suit your taste in rooms. So, if a Tudor or Royal suite doesn’t tempt you, the modern Dome Penthouse might.  

The lobby alone is enough to click ‘book’, but if you need more convincing, how does French fine dining by Alex Dilling, or Cakes & Bubbles by world-renowned pastry chef Albert Adrià sound?  

As it’s summer, the Green Bar will be your ultimate hidden gem. With botanical cocktails served on a leafy terrace, it really is the ideal seasonal escape.  

So, if you want bragging rights that you’ve stayed in the same hotel as David Bowie, you just found your London getaway spot! 

For the big kids

Treehouse London

Welcome to your London perch. If you ever dreamt of having a treehouse as a kid, this canopy hotel might just make it a reality. Known for its verdant rooftop bar (consider this your excuse for a sundowner), outdoorsy feel, and laid-back atmosphere, it’s the ideal summer getaway. No compromising on soaking up the sun while you soak up the vibes!  

Travelling with little ones? You’re in luck. Tee-pees, toys and plenty of thoughtful touches make Treehouse London a family-friendly spot that’s well worth swinging by. 

St James's Hotels

Take a short wander down to nearby St James’s where you'll find some equally stunning places to stay. Ideal for those who favour tradition, heritage, and the most upmarket spots! 

The one with old English charm

The Stafford

You don’t have to be a maths genius to know that a five-star hotel with a two Michelin star chef equals a 10/10 stay. With staff committed to impeccable service, dining curated to the top standards, and bartenders ready for your requests, The Stafford will make you feel right at home in no time. All you have to do? Sit back and enjoy! 

Where heritage hotels meet modern flair

Sofitel London St James

Ready for a surprise? Then the Sofitel London St James might be right for your stay. Because behind the classic Regency frontage is funky geometric designs, unexpected colours, and modern amenities. They say not to judge a book by its cover!  

The hotel is home to Anthony Demetre’s Michelin-starred restaurant, Wild Honey, as well as the tranquil Sofitel Spa, overseen by facialist to the stars Su-Man. What’s more, Sofitel have recently unveiled two redesigned suites, the sumptuous Opera Suite, and stylish Suite 70, offering guests a new space to relax in the heart of the city.  

Haymarket Hotel

Housed in an elegant building designed by renowned Regency architect John Nash, the Haymarket Hotel perfectly imbues modern style into their decor, with fabulous spaces furnished by Kit Kemp.  

Ideally situated for enjoying London’s best landmarks and shows, there are delightful experiences to be found inside the hotel too, with modern British restaurant Brumus waiting to be enjoyed after a dip in the Haymarket’s stunning 18 metre swimming pool.
