London has no shortage of excellent hotels. Here at Time Out our list of the city’s best places to stay stretches to 100 options, while the capital also has countless hotels catering to different tastes or needs, from the cheap and budget to the romantic and luxurious.
It’s no wonder, therefore, that one London hotel was recognised for its quality in the 2025 edition of TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards. In its Best of the Best Hotels guide, TripAdvisor named a London establishment one of the world’s top 10 hotels right now.
Congrats is in order for St. Ermin’s Hotel in Westminster! St Ermin’s was named the sixth-best hotel on the planet this year by TripAdvisor.
TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards are based on customer reviews, recognising hotels that received a high quantity of high-scoring reviews over the past 12 months. St Ermin’s Hotel boasts a rating of 4.7 (out of five) across nearly 8,500 reviews.
TripAdvisor described St Ermin’s as ‘a charming stately hotel full of history and intrigue’, adding that it is well-located for London attractions, boasts ‘beautifully designed and maintained’ rooms, and has ‘friendly and warm staff’.
St Ermin’s Hotel is near St James’ Park station and occupies part of an 1880s Victorian mansion block. It was converted into a hotel in 1899, and these days it is part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection of hotels.
A grand total of 11 UK hotels featured among TripAdvisor’s world’s best category lists this year, which ranged from ‘all-inclusive’ and ‘B&B’ to ‘luxury’, ‘small and boutique’ and ‘pet-friendly’. Mayfair’s The Chesterfield was only other London hotel to make the global rankings, featuring in the ‘pet-friendly’ list.
