The Mandrake London

A 33-room acid trip in the heart of Fitzrovia; a short walk from SoHo. Part art gallery, part nightclub, part hotel — The Mandrake is London's wildest boutique stay, built around a family's lifelong obsession with art, design and controlled chaos.

The Highs

Design that makes every other London hotel look like it's playing it safe
Art that's in the DNA — not just on the walls
A Saturday night here is one of London's great experiences
Location: Fitzrovia calm, Soho madness three minutes away

Stuff You Should Know

Book a terrace or courtyard room — entry level rooms are small for the price. The shared terrace is communal, so sauntering out in your robe is a calculated risk. This hotel comes alive after dark; if you’re in bed by 9pm, you’re missing the point. The wellness offering leans spiritual — think gong baths and reiki rather than a standard spa menu. Adults only: no guests under 18. Smart casual dress code enforced in Yopo and Waeska — no hoodies or sports shoes. Pro tip: come on a Friday or Saturday night to see the place at full volume.

Planes, Trains + TukTuks

A discreet Fitzrovia townhouse with small sign outside — three minutes from Soho’s chaos, but the streets here are calmer, independent, and worth exploring.

South American Soul in London's Most Unhinged Hotel

Yopo — named after a hallucinogenic Amazonian plant, naturally — serves South American cuisine with indigenous ingredients, sharing plates, and low-intervention Argentine wines. Think charcoal-grilled Cornish seabass with chipotle butter, Peruvian-inspired small plates, and a dessert menu that takes itself seriously without taking itself too seriously. Smart casual dress code enforced — leave the hoodies at home. The Waeska tea bar offers tea flights alongside proper cocktails, and the main bar is a cabinet of curiosities with velvet nooks and the kind of lighting that makes everyone look good. The jasmine-draped courtyard is where you want to be on a warm evening. Worth booking Yopo even if you’re not a hotel guest.
