5-star luxury hotel on Regent Street with two Michelin-starred restaurants

Dining

Hotel Cafe Royal offers three distinct dining venues including a two Michelin-star restaurant by Alex Dilling. Cakes & Bubbles by Michelin-starred chef Albert Adrià serves dessert and sparkling wine in a dedicated space. The Green Bar provides cocktails and light bites, while Barbounia At The Gallery delivers Mediterranean cuisine in a gallery setting.

Wellness

Akasha Holistic Wellbeing features a full-service spa with a hammam, steam room, sauna, and jacuzzi. Two indoor swimming pools are available year-round, one large enough for lap swimming. The fitness centre offers personal training sessions and group fitness classes, plus spa treatments including massages, facials, and body wraps.

Rooms

Junior Suites and the Westminster Suite offer views of Regent Street or Piccadilly Circus. Each room includes a private bathroom with Carrara marble and award-winning luxury bath and skincare products. Some suites provide a complimentary minibar with snacks and soft drinks.

Location

The hotel sits on Regent Street within 1 mile from Buckingham Palace, Theatreland, Westminster, and the British Museum. Bond Street, Oxford Street, and Savile Row are a 6-minute walk away. Piccadilly Circus is directly adjacent, providing easy access to Uber, taxis, and train stations.

Family & Children

The hotel offers a kids' club and an indoor play area, plus babysitting and child services upon request. Family swim times are available in the indoor pools, and the concierge can arrange tailored activities. Cots and extra beds can be provided in suites, and the team regularly prepares welcome gifts for children.

small room disengaged staff

the location was good, central to many attractions.

The room size proved smaller than anticipated. the bathroom lacked basic amenities. I expected a wider range of toiletries to be available. the staff seemed a little disengaged. Requests took longer to process than i thought they would.

Superb Stay at a Central Hotel

great service amazing concierge professional staff

The reception team offered a great service, and I was upgraded to a suite upon arrival. The concierge and bellboys were also amazing and professional, especially the outdoor staff member. I will return, as I have already booked my next trip at this hotel (I love this place!).

The room I had got very little natural light, since it only had one tiny window.

The hotel is close to the excitement of Piccadilly Circus and within walking distance to Soho and Mayfair. This allows easy access to popular attractions and entertainment options. It's really convenient.
