Assembly Leicester Square

Rooms

Rooms come in four sizes, from the smallest Snug through Nest and Pad to the Den, the roomiest, with city views. The style is clean and contemporary with muted colours and playful touches, and every room has a walk-in power shower. Soundproofing matters on a street this busy, and it's one of the hotel's strengths. If you plan to spend most of the day out exploring, the smaller rooms offer a well-placed bed at a central address; travellers who want more space should book a Den.

The rooftop

The hotel's rooftop has a wraparound balcony with panoramic views across central London, a good place for a drink before or after a show. Check current opening arrangements when you book.

Location

You're a minute from Leicester Square and its cinemas, and a few minutes from the National Gallery on Trafalgar Square. The West End theatres of Shaftesbury Avenue and Covent Garden are all walkable, as is Qima Café for breakfast. Leicester Square and Covent Garden Underground stations are the nearest. Chinatown is just across Charing Cross Road for late suppers after the theatre, and the Harp pub in Covent Garden is a short walk for a pint.
