Hotel Cafe Royal
Where London's Soul Lives On
Few places in London combine history and modernity as seamlessly as Hotel Café Royal. Located on the corner of Regent Street and Piccadilly Circus, this legendary five-star hotel has been a meeting place for the world's most fascinating figures for over a century. Through our independent booking and concierge service we arrange your stay at this storied address and carry you there door to door in first-class comfort.
Today Hotel Café Royal continues that legacy, blending neoclassical architecture with contemporary design and understated luxury — renowned for its artistry, cultural heritage and impeccable service. A timeless landmark reborn for the modern traveller, and we make sure the journey to and from your door matches that standard.
A Legacy of London Glamour
Established in 1865, the Café Royal was originally a dining and social hub for London's elite — poets, politicians and artists who gathered to exchange ideas beneath its gilded ceilings. Its transformation into a modern luxury hotel in 2012 preserved this spirit of grandeur while introducing state-of-the-art comfort and design. The interiors blend heritage with contemporary minimalism — marble corridors, warm oak details and restored period features create a dialogue between past and present, offering guests a true sense of place.
At the Heart of London's Cultural Quarter
Perfectly positioned on Regent Street, Hotel Café Royal offers instant access to the best of London — the theatres of the West End, the galleries of Mayfair and the shops of Soho and Covent Garden all within walking distance, with Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park and Trafalgar Square moments away. With its central location, it is ideal for both leisure and business travellers who value elegance and convenience.
Rooms and Suites: Where History Meets Harmony
Hotel Café Royal offers rooms and suites that balance historic charm with sleek, modern comfort — high ceilings, natural stone and soft, neutral tones creating a calm, refined atmosphere in contrast to the energy of the city outside. Rooms feature king-size beds, marble bathrooms with rainfall showers and luxurious bedding, while individually designed suites blend artistry with indulgence, including signature options with views over Piccadilly Circus and private dining areas. The grandest suite features gilded ceilings, marble fireplaces and original 19th-century detailing, and every guest enjoys 24-hour butler service and the signature attention to detail that turns a stay into an experience.
Dining and Holistic Wellbeing
Hotel Café Royal offers a diverse selection of dining experiences, each celebrating creativity, quality and craft — a celebrated fine-dining restaurant presenting modern French cuisine, traditional afternoon tea in one of London's most spectacular golden salons, and a playful patisserie-and-champagne concept. Hidden beneath the city's streets lies one of London's most tranquil sanctuaries — a holistic wellbeing centre combining ancient wellness traditions with modern therapies, with a swimming pool, hammam, sauna, bespoke treatments, yoga, meditation and fitness sessions for a balanced approach to rejuvenation.
