Hotel Cafe Royal

On Regent Street between Mayfair and Soho, Hotel Café Royal is London romance in full flourish: couture-calm rooms with modern entertainment hubs and luxe bathrooms; select suites include a complimentary mini-bar with snacks and soft drinks. The hotel’s soul is Akasha, a holistic urban spa with a gym, sleek lap pool, sauna, Jacuzzi, hammam/steam room and expert therapies—perfect after shopping Bond Street or curtain calls in Theatreland. Dining is destination-worthy: a two-Michelin-star experience by Alex Dilling, elegant afternoon tea and Cakes & Bubbles by Albert Adrià, plus Barbounia at The Gallery for Mediterranean notes and crafted cocktails. Buckingham Palace, the British Museum and Westminster are within a mile; Piccadilly Circus and Covent Garden are a stroll. For couples, this icon marries heritage glamour with contemporary cool—and places London’s brightest lights at your fingertips.
