We loved this hotel! It was a great location for us (plays, museums). We had walked past it many times in the past and always thought it looked charming. It is even better than that! The hotel is beautiful, with great art. …

Always a great place to have some nibbles and amazing cocktails. We always go before any theatre or opera we have in the west End. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the decor always stunning with fresh flowers and following a season theme, and everything is sparkling clean, especially the loos. Highly recommended this place to have cocktails and spend some time in their lounge.

Just returned from a long vacation to London and Paris. Spent a fabulous 4-nights at One Aldwych, which was a highlight of the trip. From the moment we walked in, the wonderful staff made us feel welcomed and went above and beyond to make everything feel special.This hotel is in a perfect location, central to all the major tourist sights with easy access to the Underground. The front desk was very helpful anytime we had a question and we appreciated that they were able to help with airport taxi arrangements.My husband has celiac and we picked this hotel mainly because of it's reputation for handling food allergens. Having the 100% gluten and dairy-free Indigo restaurant on-site was a huge bonus for us. Room service was excellent and took great care in double checking allergens and ensuring that cross contamination risk was minimized.The hotel has a lovely spa and well-equipped fitness room. Usually hotel fitness areas are pretty sparse but this one actually has a free weight rack and full cable machines! So nice not to have to go elsewhere to get a decent workout.I was more than impressed with the cleanliness and comfort of the room. The complimentary mini bar was a nice little treat. Appreciated that housekeeping did their best to ensure that it was stocked with gluten and dairy-free items.Already dreaming about going back!

I absolutely adored this hotel - from the location to the quiet clean rooms it’s worth the splurge. Also, if you are gluten free the choices for in-room dining (and of course the restaurant on site, Indigo) are fabulous. …
