One Aldwych is one of the very few hotels in London, or indeed the world, that can say it is truly independent. Standing at the centre of Covent Garden, London’s most exciting neighbourhood, everything within this singular building is created and curated for the delight of guests.
A Storied Address with Contemporary Flair
Stepping into the lobby at One Aldwych is to step into a moment in history, dressed up in style. Built in 1902 as the home of The Morning Post newspaper, it still inspires spirited conversation and connection. Today, the building’s Art Nouveau curves and stylish flair sit easily with the modern refinements of this contemporary, forward-thinking hotel.
Each room and suite embraces a contemporary, stylish character, with bespoke furniture and fittings crafted by British manufacturers or inspired by the sense of modern Britishness that One Aldwych represents. The four Signature Suites offer features unique to the space, with views over London’s rooftops and Waterloo Bridge, while a variety of interconnecting rooms and suites, including a four-bedroom configuration, comfortably accommodate extended families.
At the Heart of Theatreland
Guests looking to make the most of London’s iconic West End will find One Aldwych perfectly placed, just moments from the city’s finest theatres and the Royal Opera House. The hotel offers pre-theatre dining alongside curated overnight stay packages designed around an evening at the theatre, making it an ideal base for a London theatre break.
The Curators Programme
One Aldwych’s Curators programme connects guests with an exclusive collection of local experts who help them discover London beyond the guidebooks. From theatre and history to art, each curator offers a unique perspective on the city, allowing guests to truly get under the skin of London.
A Living Art Collection
Guests exploring the hotel will find more than four hundred pieces of contemporary art on display, part of a private collection that has evolved throughout One Aldwych’s lifetime and continues to grow. The collection features distinctive sculptures and works from British and international rising stars alongside more established names, turning a walk through the hotel into its own small gallery tour.
Family-Friendly Stays
From dedicated family experiences and thoughtful touches to spacious suites and children’s amenities, One Aldwych is proud to welcome guests of all ages, along with a warm welcome and hand-picked treats for four-legged guests too.
The Health Club and Time to Rest
For guests in need of rest and retreat, the hotel’s Health Club is ready with a serene welcome, whether it’s time for a swim in the 18-meter chlorine-free pool, a workout, or a spa treatment. It offers a quiet counterpoint to the buzz of Covent Garden just outside the door.
Eating, Drinking and Celebrating
Signature restaurant Indigo, overseen by Executive Chef Edward Dutton, is a neighbourhood jewel known for its inventive menu, sourced from a network of trusted independent producers across the British Isles. The Lobby Bar remains a London institution, celebrated for its exquisite cocktails and large-scale art, while the hotel’s whimsical, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-inspired afternoon tea offers a playful treat in the heart of theatreland.
One Aldwych is also a sought-after setting for special occasions, from an elegant cocktail party or celebratory dinner to a smart business gathering or a city wedding. The hotel’s event spaces are designed as a blank canvas for guests’ ideas, with the resident florist, Mark Siredzuk, on hand to bring the finishing touch to any moment worth celebrating.
A Responsible Approach to Hospitality
As London’s only five-star hotel to hold B corp™ accreditation, One Aldwych has always placed people and the planet at the heart of its operations, with responsible and thoughtful decisions playing an integral role in every aspect of the business.
