The Londoner

Inside the hotel

The hotel spans 16 storeys with 350 bedrooms and suites. Places to eat and drink include Whitcomb's restaurant, Joshua's Tavern pub, The Stage, Refuel and afternoon tea, plus 8 at The Londoner, the rooftop bar. The Retreat offers spa treatments and a gym, and two screening rooms reflect its address on London's premiere square. Afternoon tea is served in the hotel, and the screening rooms can be used for private events.

The location

Leicester Square is in the middle of the West End, with cinemas, theatres and Chinatown around it and Covent Garden and Soho within ten minutes' walk. The National Gallery and Trafalgar Square are a couple of minutes south, which makes it easy to fit a gallery visit around a show. Piccadilly Circus and Soho's restaurants are also within a few minutes' walk, so you can get around much of the West End without public transport.

Who it suits

It is aimed at visitors who want a full-service hotel and plan to spend their evenings at the theatre or cinema. Families and couples who prefer quieter surroundings may find the square busy late at night, so ask about rooms on higher floors. Business travellers will also find meeting and event spaces, including an events link with the Odeon Luxe next door.
