There are several noteworthy hotels in the vicinity ranging from landmark five star properties to characterful boutiques. Our hotel experts have compiled a collection of the best hotels near Covent Garden selected on their service, amenities and design. So why not browse through our list to start planning your next stay?

For the spa

One Aldwych is classic on the outside but wonderfully contemporary on the inside. Expect spacious rooms and suites mixing modern and traditional styles, a buzzy lobby bar, and high-end dining. However, it is the expansive spa complete with an indoor pool that really stands out.

For families

Haymarket Hotel is a stylish boutique hotel designed by Kit Kemp. Here, the grand building now features contemporary art, handpicked ceramic pieces, patterned fabrics and bold colours. Located right in the heart of the West End, this is a good choice if you are visiting for the theatre. While the spa and buzzy restaurant will please parents, kids will love the indoor pool and added extras including mini bathrobes, milk and cookies at bedtime, and family Sky TV.
