Finding a room in Fitzrovia is easy, as it’s one of the most desirable parts of London, bordered by Marylebone to the west, Soho to the south, Bloomsbury to the east, and Regent’s Park to the north. So that’s shopping, theatre, culture and leisure sorted then. Thanks to Virginia Woolf, Dylan Thomas and Augustus John, the area gained quite a bohemian reputation in the 1930s and ’40s, but today it’s all media luvvies and boozy lunches. Great hostelries include the Newman Arms and Bradley’s Spanish Bar, and for food, Berners Tavern and Hakkasan. Here's our top ten of the best hotels in Fitzrovia.

Hazlitt's

Soho
price 3 of 4

Set in four Georgian townhouses, Hazlitt’s is perfect for eighteenth-century fantasists. An extravagant evocation of the Georgian era, this place has painted panelled walls, open fireplaces, antique furnishings and old oil portraits in gilt frames. Individually furnished bedrooms continue the theme, with free-standing tubs, heavy curtains, and four-posters or exquisitely carved half-tester beds. Modern comforts are discreetly in place, however, with modern heating/air conditioning and TVs in antique cupboards.

London Edition

Fitzrovia

The lobby bar at Ian Schrager’s London Edition is fabulous, with plenty of marble, ornate ceilings and a colossal silver egg-shaped thing in place of a chandelier. Rooms are a mix of modern-day hunting lodge – faux fur throws, wood panelled walls and warm lighting – and sleek practicality. Some have furnished terraces. Downstairs you’ll find great food at glamtastic Berners Tavern, helmed by Michelin-starred Jason Atherton. Unsurprisingly, there’s even a club in the basement.

Hub by Premier Inn London Goodge Street

Good pricing, from £69, plus cool styling and a great location a minute from Goodge Street station makes this a no-brainer. Rooms are compact but perfectly designed so that you don’t keep falling over your suitcase (it stashes neatly under your bed) and you can choose from a well-designed standard, or a slightly bigger cabin-style room; both come with Hypnos beds and en suite monsoon showers. Breakfast is extra, and hot drinks, pastries and muffins are available all day.

Fitzrovia Belle

At the north end of Tottenham Court Road, the Belle is a pub with five individually designed boutique rooms upstairs. Brightly colour-themed – black and white, olive, sand – rooms have a tiled en suite wet room with rain shower. There is no concierge, but staff are on hand to help. Breakfast is included in the price and served in the open-plan kitchen.
