A block from the theatres of Shaftesbury Avenue, there’s a lot to recommend at the Firmdale Group’s Covent Garden outpost, located on the prettiest street in Covent Garden. The communal areas are typically eye-catching and each of the 58 rooms are similarly luxurious and imaginative: check out the granite bathrooms for film star appeal. Indeed, they often stay here, and if you’re one of them, or here for film rather than theatre, there’s a cinema, too, as well as a quiet private library and drawing room.
Bordered by Oxford Street to the north, The Strand to the south and Kingsway and Regents Street to the east and west respectively, staying in Theatreland (essentially Covent Garden and Soho) is actually about much more than just being near the theatres. Whether you’re looking for a great coffee at Nude, an evening pint at the John Snow or a slap-up dinner at The Delaunay, you’ll have the whole of the West End on your doorstep. But despite its super-central location and abundance of shops, restaurants and, yes, theatres, when it comes to the best hotels near Theatreland, visitors are spoilt with everything from cheap-as-chips hostels to slick budget chains to funky five-star hotels. These are our pick of the best hotels near Theatreland.
