Every year, lifestyle guide Muddy Stilettos names ‘the best of’ independent businesses in the UK, including pubs, bars, shops, cafés, hotels and more. Listen up, because this year’s Muddy Awards, naming the ‘Best of the Best’ winners, have just been revealed.
According to the 2025 awards, the UK’s best hotel is in London. The winners were judged by the Muddy Stilettos editors. Judges from 35 countries selected the number one entry from shortlist of regional entries across 21 lifestyle categories.
Britain’s best hotel for 2025 is Broadwick Soho in, you guessed it, Soho. The central London boutique hotel is known for its OTT interiors with clashing colours and prints, and seriously glam old-school atmosphere. Opened in 2023, the eight-storey, 57-bedroom bolthole is quickly becoming known as one of London’s top places to stay. It’s so good that Time Out gave the hotel five stars when we reviewed it back in February.
‘Taking inspiration from the loud-and-proud exuberance of London’s West End, there’s no holding back at Broadwick Soho,’ wrote Time Out’s Talia Stanton.
‘It’s an independent hotel to its core, with intricate interiors that can’t be replicated and a clockwork standard of service that takes a one-of-a-kind team to achieve. You can sense you’re about to experience some serious hospitality magic from the moment you enter through that big pink townhouse door.’
Runners up for the best hotel in the UK were No.15 Bath, by Guest House in Bath, The Grosvenor in Stockbridge, The Old Bell Hotel in Malmesbury and The Pig at Bridge Place in Canterbury.
