The Londoner features a stunning guest-only club, six concept restaurants and bars including a rooftop lounge, a spa with pool, gym, superfood clinic and beauty salon. There are 350 luxurious bedrooms and suites including a tower penthouse suite with panoramic views.

Beautiful rooms and elegant hotel with a modern spin. Friendly and professional staff. Great location, but well designed so you don't realise you are in the center of London until you walk out of the hotel door. My 4th stay at the Londoner and it has become a firm favourite and a special treat when I am in London.

    Breakfast was appalling. Bacon was off - it looked grey and smelt bad. I sent the breakfast back. It was replaced but again the bacon was off For a five star hotel - this is very poor. I fail to see why it has 5 stars. I would rate it at 3 The room was very comfortable and quiet. However I found the shower difficult to operate and could only get tepid water for my shower
