The Soho Hotel

The wonderful thing about Soho is that in spite of the mad chaos that carries on all night in this unique and thrilling part of London, there are still quiet back-alleys, like the one that contains this stylish and peaceful townhouse hotel.

Whilst the addition of the drawing room with its roaring fireplace and sumptuous armchairs give the feel of an elegant paradise amidst some of the world's most exciting nightlife, the hotel's lobby is often buzzing with activity. Theatre-goers, tourists and locals alike are all drawn to the hotel's Refuel Bar and Restaurant, in search of pre-show dinner, afternoon tea or some or the mouth-watering cocktails exclusive to the Firmdale Hotels group. There are also several rooms available to book for private dining, including the Swirl Room or Crimson Bar which offer an intimate atmosphere and chic, contemporary design.

The hotel also has two in-house cinemas to give it a modern edge over some of the capital's more classic hotels. The two state-of-the-art screening rooms are fitted with lavish, leather seating and the best in sound and projection. Both rooms are available to book for private screenings and are open to the public for Sunday film club.
