  • Whitehall

A luxury hotel that’s big on glitz and glamour isn’t likely to have just any old hot tub, and the Corinthia sure doesn’t. Instead, the deluxe hotel has a vitality pool (alongside its normal pool), which offers a variety of air and water massage jets. It’s part of the state-of-the-art spa, which has every well-being amenity you could imagine, plus a nail studio and a Daniel Galvin hair salon. Rooms, like the rest of the hotel, are firmly in the grand hotel style. 

Where is it? The Corinthia is located in the heart of central, moments away from Whitehall and Trafalgar Square. 

Which room? The Whitehall Penthouse – with a private rooftop balcony that screams luxury, the outdoor human-size chess set and fireplace are just the cherries on the cake. 

Time Out tip: On-site, The Garden, an intimate and stylish outdoor space, is an idyllic spot for lunch or a cocktail.

The aggressively angular building housing the Montcalm East hotel is hard to miss, jutting straight out of City Road. The ultra-modernity continues inside with 269 tech-savvy rooms. Stressed start-up entrepreneurs should head straight for the spa.
