Step into a world of luxury and unparalleled service at The Londoner, the first super boutique hotel in the world, located in the heart of London’s bustling West End. This stunning hotel boasts an extraordinary design and exceptional amenities, offering a unique experience that sets it apart from the rest. While the hotel’s grand opening was delayed slightly by the pandemic in September 2021, I was fortunate enough to spend a weekend here in March 2022, and I can confidently say it surpassed all my expectations.
Location, Location, Location
The Londoner’s prime location on the southwest corner of Leicester Square places you within walking distance of some of London’s most iconic attractions. You’re just steps away from Piccadilly and Leicester Square Tube stations, Chinatown, Soho, Covent Garden, and Regent Street, making it incredibly convenient to explore the city. Whether you’re seeking high-end shopping, world-class dining, or thrilling entertainment, everything is at your fingertips.
Indulge in Luxury and Style
The Londoner offers a diverse selection of rooms, from elegant King and Deluxe King rooms to spacious Junior and Corner Suites. If you’re looking for something truly special, you can even opt for the spectacular Capital, Signature, or Tower Penthouse Suite, a two-story masterpiece with breathtaking panoramic views of London. Each room is meticulously designed with exquisite details, blending neutral tones, rich materials, and pops of vibrant color. The open-plan bathrooms are a highlight, featuring bold tiling, colorful sinks, separate walk-in showers, and Japanese electronic Toto toilets. Rest assured, every detail has been carefully considered to provide ultimate comfort and luxury.
A Culinary Journey Within
Forget stepping out for a meal; The Londoner offers an array of dining experiences that cater to every taste and occasion. Start your day with a lavish breakfast at Whitcomb’s, the hotel’s fine dining French/Mediterranean restaurant. The extensive buffet features fresh fruit, cereals, yogurt, juices, pastries, and a tempting selection of hot dishes, including an egg and omelette station. In the evening, return to Whitcomb’s for a delectable dinner or indulge in a pre-dinner cocktail at Joshua’s Tavern, a charming traditional pub that boasts an impressive gin collection. For a truly unique dining experience, head to 8 at The Londoner, the hotel’s Japanese-inspired izakaya lounge. Enjoy breathtaking views of the city skyline from the glass-walled restaurant and lounge, or savor a drink in the covered Shima Garden, complete with a DJ and heaters for cozy evenings.
A Retreat for Relaxation and Rejuvenation
The Londoner’s spa, The Retreat, is a haven of tranquility, offering everything you need to unwind and refresh. The spacious gym and fitness room are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, and the spa boasts treatment rooms where you can indulge in a variety of therapies, including the incredible Opium deep-tissue massage. After your treatment, relax by the pool or in a private cabana. The Retreat also features a stylish “street” with a men’s grooming salon, hair and beauty salon, and nail bar.
A Touch of Magic
Beyond the luxurious amenities and exceptional dining, The Londoner provides a range of unique spaces for guests to enjoy. The Residence, a secluded guest-only space, offers a comfortable and inviting retreat with a selection of bar areas, a restaurant, complimentary refreshments, and entertainment options. For a taste of live music, head to The Stage, a charming space just off the main reception.
A Truly Exceptional Experience
From the moment you step into The Londoner, you’ll be enveloped in a world of unparalleled luxury, personalized service, and impeccable design. Whether you’re exploring the city or seeking a relaxing escape, this super boutique hotel offers an unforgettable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend The Londoner for anyone looking for a unique and luxurious stay in London.
