Welcome to London’s cultured, independent hotel.

One Aldwych is one of the very few hotels in London, (or indeed the world) that can say it is truly independent, with everything within created and curated solely for the delight of its guests in this singular beautiful building, at the center of Covent Garden.

Stepping into the lobby is to step into a moment in history, dressed up in style. Built in 1905 as the home of the Morning Post newspaper, it still inspires spirited conversation and connection. Today, the historic building’s art nouveau curves sit easily with the modern luxuries of this contemporary, forward‑thinking hotel. Designed to be more than just a place to sleep, One Aldwych embraces a stylish character ready to host, cocoon and enchant. Styled as private residences, the 101 suites and bedrooms offer flexible configurations and interconnecting options for families and groups of all sizes.

Known as the hotel for Londoners at heart, wherever they might be from, the curious minded have access to the finest entertainment and cultural adventures on the doorstep. It’s just a short walk to galleries, museums, West End theatres and the famous Royal Opera House. For those in need of rest and retreat, unwind in the Health Club, or enjoy your favorite drink in a cozy corner of The Library, a private sanctuary from the streets, or straight to your beautifully-crafted room or suite.

Think of the resident team as the friends with all the best recommendations. Brunch, ballet, boutiques, cocktails, exhibitions and the little-known corners of the city. Satisfy any appetite with the time-honoured tradition of afternoon tea with a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory twist. Later, there’s dinner in Indigo, a restaurant celebrating British independent producers. After dinner, the city is your oyster, but perhaps linger a little longer for a delicious tipple from our Gallery cocktail menu in the vivacious Lobby Bar – inspired by some of One Aldwych’s private collection of over 400 pieces of contemporary art.
