Food + Drink
Six venues spanning French-Mediterranean dining, a street-level tavern, champagne bar, Japanese-inspired rooftop lounge, and a guest-only members bar — plus a wellness juice bar in the spa.
Vibes
West End Glam
The rooms are on the smaller side for the price — recalibrate expectations on square footage, even if the quality is there. Leicester Square is the location’s greatest strength and occasional liability: brilliant for theatre and transport, relentless if you want quiet. Book a poolside cabana in The Retreat in advance — they go fast. The Residence is guest-only and genuinely private, but you have to find it; ask at check-in. Rates typically start around £300 a night and climb sharply for suites.

Food + Drink On-site surprises
The Londoner doesn’t do one restaurant — it does six, each with a distinct personality. Whitcomb’s handles the serious dining: French-Mediterranean, clean plating, reliable execution — good for pre-theatre or when you simply don’t want to leave. Joshua’s Tavern keeps it casual at street level, gin-forward and unpretentious. The rooftop lounge at 8 goes Japanese-inspired: small plates, cocktails, city views — this is where the evening energy is. The Champagne Bar off the lobby does exactly what it says. And for guests only, The Residence serves all-day food and drinks in a room that makes room service feel unnecessary. Strong across the board. Nothing revolutionary. Consistently excellent.
