The Soho Hotel in London combines classic English style with flair and vibrant colors. With 96 uniquely designed bedrooms and suites, it is one of the premier luxury hotels in the Soho area. Since its opening in 2004, it has been a popular choice for celebrities and dignitaries. Tucked away in a small alleyway, it offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling nightlife.
The hotel spans five floors and offers a variety of amenities such as a spacious drawing room, Refuel Bar and Restaurant, state-of-the-art screening rooms, private event rooms, and a fully equipped gym with spa treatments. Each room, designed by Kit Kemp, showcases a contemporary London look with a unique touch.
Kemp’s design approach aims to create comfort, color, and a carefree attitude in each room. She treats them as individual painted canvases, believing that every room should tell a story. The hotel has a quirky modern take on traditional English style, with bursts of color in its common areas and rooms. The lobby features a 10-foot bronze sculpture of a cat by Fernando Botero, surrounded by colorful rugs and walls. The rooms are spacious and feature sleek modern furniture, modern art, and specially designed lighting. The penthouse suites offer tree-lined terraces and stunning views of London.
In addition to the inviting rooms, the hotel offers a drawing room filled with color and two fireplaces, as well as a library perfect for relaxation. Fitness enthusiasts can enjoy the Soholistic fitness area and the beauty treatment room. The hotel’s two state-of-the-art screening rooms are ideal for private screenings or corporate presentations, and The Crimson Bar offers a unique atmosphere for private parties. The hotel also has a Film Club that offers monthly movie schedules with popcorn or three-course meals.
Refuel Bar and Restaurant provides a lively dining area and a bar with floor-to-ceiling windows. The paintings on the walls reflect the site’s history with the motor car and add to the vibrant palette of colors. The staff, dressed by a Soho-based tailor, offer excellent service and accommodate dietary restrictions. Guests can also indulge in daily afternoon tea.
Located in the heart of London’s entertainment neighborhood, The Soho Hotel is an ideal choice for guests looking to explore the surrounding area.
