One Aldwych is one of the very few hotels in London (or indeed, the world) that can say it is truly independent. Entering the lobby of this beautiful 118-year-old building is akin to stepping into a moment in history, dressed in style. Today, the building’s art nouveau curves and stylish flair sit easily alongside the modern luxuries of the contemporary suites and bedrooms. Here in Covent Garden, London’s most exciting neighbourhood, the curious minded have access to the finest entertainment and cultural adventures, with galleries, museums, West End theatres and the famous Royal Opera House on the doorstep. At teatime, step into the magical world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for an unforgettable afternoon tea. For dinner, our signature restaurant, Indigo, celebrates British independent producers. Cocktails are at the heart of the Lobby Bar, and for moments of utter relaxation, cocoon yourself with a spa treatment and swim in the 59-foot pool with underwater music.
