Hotel Review
The feeling of history pervades every room of this charming Georgian townhouse hotel. Wood panelling, creaky floors and wonky stairs are testament to Hazlitt's origins. A handsome building in the heart of Soho, Hazlitt’s was built in 1718 and has retained its Georgian charm and splendour. Rooms are painted in moody colours from the bygone era which are complemented by traditional damask curtains and blinds. For a one-of-a-kind experience book the Mrs Teresa Cornelys suite which is on two floors; the bathroom is upstairs and not only features a magnificent handmade bath with an intricate mechanism but a wooden throne to sit upon. Breakfast is ordered the night before and delivered to your room or if you prefer you can have it in the Library downstairs. Period charm and traditional hospitality with modern flair provides the perfect base in Soho.

Our front desk is happy to provide details and make reservations.
Which are your most popular room types, and why? All are popular for one reason or another. “Its called Hazlitt’s because it was the home of the essayist, and all the bedrooms are named after his chums or women he shagged there “ – Bill Bryson – Notes from a Small Island.
What message would you like to give Hotel Guru readers? Hazlitt’s is popular with those in the know: a glass fronted bookcase acts as a kind of visitor’s book, as every guest with a book to his or her name adds a signed copy of their latest work to the collection, such as Susan Sontag, Ted Hughes, Michael Ondattje, JK Rowling. Whomever you meet in the hushed passageways, you know you are in good company – because they had the excellent taste to choose Hazlitt’s.
