Charlotte Street Hotel

With its prime location just north of Soho, Charlotte Street Hotel is an intimate design hotel that feels like a private townhouse. With its bold, welcoming, Kit Kemp interiors, Soholistic spa treatments, and private cinema, this colorful, contemporary hotel is one of the coolest in London.

Each of the guestrooms and suites has been individually designed to reflect a ‘Bloomsbury Group’ theme, with bold hues, contrasting patterns and fabrics, antique furniture, and modern artworks. The rooms contain Bose sound systems and flatscreen TVs with DVD players, and there’s a complimentary library of films to borrow.

The hotel’s restaurant and bar, Oscar, serves modern, seasonal British cuisine and delicious cocktails. Afternoon tea is especially popular, as is the film club, where a meal at Oscar’s is followed by a private screening.

After a busy day on Oxford Street, wandering around the British Museum, or exploring London’s parks, the in-room spa treatments offer the ideal way to unwind.
