Fodor's Expert Review Covent Garden Hotel

10 Monmouth St., London, Greater London, WC2H 9HB, England Fodor's Choice

It's little wonder this is now the London home-away-from-home for celebrities, A-list actors, and various other top-tier guests, with its unbeatable Covent Garden location in a former French hospital and stylish guest rooms that use mix-and-match couture fabrics and one-off pieces to stunning effect. Beautifully decked out with painted silks, style anglais ottomans, and 19th-century romantic oils, the public salons are perfect spots to decompress over a glass of Meursault. For £55, the popular Saturday night Film Club offers afternoon tea or dinner in the ground-floor Brasserie Max and a film in the deluxe basement cinema.
