Where to stay in London? Choosing your neighbourhood well
One of the biggest mistakes when travelling to London is underestimating the size of the city. The choice of your hotel will determine the whole atmosphere of your stay.
The West End (Soho, Fitzrovia, Haymarket) : It's the beating heart of London. By staying here, you're just a few steps from the best restaurants, historic theatres and major shops. It's the ideal place if you want to be in the centre of the action, while enjoying a perfectly soundproofed suite to rest in the evening.
Clerkenwell : Quieter and more discreet, this historic neighbourhood is now the haunt of architects and designers. You'll find beautiful addresses full of character, ideal for a romantic and discreet stay.
The East End (Shoreditch) : If you love industrial design, contemporary art galleries and trendy atmospheres, this is where you should be. The suites are often arranged like large New York lofts, with superb views of the City's skyscrapers.
Favour the months of May, June or September to enjoy milder weather and magnificent light that enhances the beauty of the city.
Our Selection of the Best Luxury Suites in London

The Residence Suite : English Charm at Zetter Clerkenwell
The Experience: Staying in The Residence suite is a bit like being entrusted with the keys to a discerning Londoner's apartment. Occupying the entire top floor of the hotel, this suite offers spacious and warm living space. But what really captivates us is its stunning private rooftop terrace. In London, having an outdoor space entirely to yourself is a very rare luxury. It's the ideal spot for morning coffee or sipping a glass of wine in the evening, whilst enjoying a peaceful view over the historic rooftops of Clerkenwell.
Design and Details: The décor is a magnificent blend of classic elegance and modern comfort. We love the thoughtfully curated selection of vintage furniture, cosy velvet armchairs and warm wooden flooring. The bathroom is a true retreat, with a stunning freestanding bathtub that invites complete relaxation after a day of exploring. The lighting is soft and subtle, creating a very intimate and soothing ambiance.
The Hotel: Zetter Clerkenwell feels like a grand family townhouse. It's a discreet address, highly appreciated for its award-winning cocktail bar and warm service that never feels rigid.

Penthouse Suite : Modern Elegance at The Newman
The Experience: The Newman's Penthouse suite is designed for those who love spacious, light-filled rooms. The layout is exceptionally well-thought-out, with a large living area separate from the bedroom, allowing you to relax or entertain comfortably. The true highlight of this suite is its panoramic views. Through floor-to-ceiling windows and a magnificent private terrace, you'll feel like you're overlooking the Fitzrovia neighbourhood. It's a bright, peaceful and spectacular suite, perfect for admiring the city lights once night falls.
Design and Details: The style is contemporary, with lovely touches reminiscent of the Art Deco era. The materials used are noble and elegant: light marble in the bathroom, brass finishes and high-quality fabrics in soft tones (beige, cream, gold). The bedroom is equipped with the latest technology, including automatic blackout curtains and silent air conditioning, to guarantee you a perfect night's sleep in the heart of the city.
The Hotel: Located in the chic Fitzrovia neighbourhood, The Newman is a modern address that attracts clientele seeking discreet luxury, excellent nearby restaurants and high-end service without ostentation.

The Townhouse: A Private Home at Haymarket Hotel (Firmdale)
The Experience: The Haymarket Hotel's Townhouse is not simply a suite—it's a true private home adjoining the hotel. With its independent entrance, it spreads over several floors and includes a very large living room, a dining area and stunning bedrooms. It's the ideal choice if you're travelling with family or if you desire plenty of space. You enjoy the complete privacy of a London townhouse while having access to five-star room service and the facilities of the grand hotel right next door.
Design and Details: The décor, imagined by celebrated English designer Kit Kemp, is full of life and colour. Forget grey or beige minimalism: here you'll find spectacular headboards, bold wallpapers and beautiful works of art. The materials are incredibly pleasant to the touch, from thick carpets to sheets of incredible softness. The bathrooms are immense, entirely clad in marble, with large showers and deep bathtubs.
The Hotel: The Haymarket Hotel is ideally located, just steps away from theatres and Piccadilly Circus. It is a vibrant hotel, renowned for its spectacular underground pool illuminated by stunning light displays.

Aethos Panorama Suite : The Loft Spirit at Aethos London Shoreditch
The Experience: If you love the energy of the East End, the Aethos Panorama Suite will seduce you. Designed as a grand loft, it offers an open space where you feel immediately at ease. The distinctive feature of this suite is its immense industrial-style windows that stretch from floor to ceiling. They offer you an incredible 180-degree view of the City towers and the brick rooftops of Shoreditch. It is the perfect contrast: you are in a luxurious and peaceful cocoon, while having the vibrant city at your feet.
Design and Details: The design pays homage to the neighbourhood's industrial past, but with great refinement. The exposed brick walls and concrete ceilings are softened by beautiful oak flooring, comfortable designer furniture and matte black metal finishes. The bathroom is very minimalist, made of high-quality dark stone. The lighting is particularly successful and allows you to create a very cosy and warm ambiance once the sun sets.
The Hotel: In the heart of Shoreditch, Aethos is a highly sought-after hotel by creatives and design enthusiasts. The atmosphere is relaxed, with particular attention paid to well-being and the quality of common areas.

Newman Suite : The Mystical Atmosphere at The Mandrake
The Experience: Entering the Newman suite (not to be confused with the hotel of the same name) within the Mandrake is to leave London's hustle and bustle behind and immerse yourself in a world entirely apart. Highly intimate, this suite is bathed in light that filters through the tropical plants of the central courtyard. It is a profoundly romantic and mysterious suite. The highlight of the experience is the superb island bathtub, placed directly in the bedroom. It is the perfect place to disconnect from the real world and enjoy a moment of absolute relaxation.
The Design and Details: The décor is sumptuous and embraces a highly theatrical side. You will find dark colours, textured wallpapers, rich fabrics such as velvet and beautiful solid wood furniture. The bed offers absolute comfort and the soundproofing is perfect. Everything is designed so you can relax, with even ambient music specially created by the hotel to soothe the mind.
The Hotel: Hidden behind a discreet façade in Fitzrovia, The Mandrake is a one-of-a-kind hotel, built around a lush interior courtyard. It is a very fashionable address, renowned for its original cocktails and an atmosphere you will find nowhere else in London.

Why opt for a Signature Suite during your stay?
Booking a beautiful hotel room is pleasant, but choosing a Signature Suite completely transforms your travel experience, particularly in a city as intense as London.
The first advantage is obviously space. Having a living room separate from the bedroom allows you to rest, have breakfast comfortably or even entertain friends without sitting on the bed. Then there is access to outdoor spaces: a terrace or large private balcony is an invaluable luxury for getting fresh air away from the noise of London's streets. Finally, staying in one of these suites often gives you access to premium service: a direct line to the hotel's finest concierges, ready to secure you a table at a fully booked restaurant or arrange your travel with complete peace of mind.
Logistics Guide: Making the most of your luxury stay in London
For your trip to be perfect from start to finish, logistics must not be left to chance. London is a very sprawling city where traffic can be complicated.
Your arrival from the airport: Avoid the stress of public transport with your luggage. From Heathrow, whilst the Heathrow Express train is fast, the most comfortable solution remains to ask your hotel's concierge to arrange a private transfer with a driver. He will await you at the exit and drop you directly at your suite's door.
Getting around the city: The famous black cabs (Black Cabs) are fantastic because the drivers know the city inside out and can use the bus lanes. To cross the city quickly from east to west, do not hesitate to use the brand new Elizabeth Line underground, which is spacious, clean and incredibly fast.
Booking your activities: Good restaurants and fashionable venues are besieged in London. Do not wait until you arrive to decide on your schedule. Contact the hotel approximately one month before your arrival so they can take care of booking your tables and theatre tickets.
FAQ: Preparing your suite reservation in London
How far in advance should you book? The suites we have selected are unique (there is for example only one Townhouse at Haymarket). To be sure of availability, especially in spring or during events such as the Wimbledon tournament, we advise you to book 3 to 4 months in advance.
Is it better to stay in the East or West of the city? If this is your first visit or you are coming for luxury shopping (Mayfair) and theatres, favour the West End (Soho, Fitzrovia). If you already know London well and are looking for good designer addresses, trendy cafés and industrial design, the East End (Shoreditch) will be perfect for you.
Are these suites suitable for family holidays? Some are perfect for families, such as the Haymarket Townhouse which offers vast space and several bedrooms. On the other hand, hotels like The Mandrake have a more hushed and romantic atmosphere, designed more for couples seeking tranquillity.
