You can travel the world far and wide but, in our humble opinion, there’s nothing quite like a five-star London hotel. The pomp of the doormen, the ritual of afternoon tea, the quiet sanctuary of a subterranean spa – and we haven’t even got to the plush suites and Michelin-star restaurants. And, whether you’re a born-and-bred Londoner looking to spoil yourself with a decadent weekend in your home city or an out-of-towner wishing to experience the best the capital has to offer, those seeking a luxury London hotel stay are spoiled for choice.

So, why not let the hotels do the hard work for you? After all, they are the experts. From curated experiences designed to help you discover London’s chicest neighbourhoods to culinary journeys and family-friendly sleepovers, practically every luxury hotel in the capital offers a range of unique packages and special offers promising an unforgettable stay. Here’s our guide to the best to book now.

The Gatsby Escape at L’Oscar London, Holborn

Step into a world of 1920s glamour and Baroque elegance with The Gatsby Escape at L’oscar London, located a stone’s throw from the capital’s theatreland and mere moments from Holborn station. Once a Grade-II listed church, L’oscar London is a turn-of-the-century architectural jewel which has been reimagined as a 39-key boutique hotel by world-renowned designer Jacques Garcia. Inspired by Oscar Wilde (hence the name), the hotel’s interiors are indulgent, featuring a rich, dark palette peppered with bookcases, golden accents and velvet and embroidered drapery, ultimately providing a perfect hideaway to relax and rejuvenate amid London’s hustle and bustle.

New for 2025, however, is The Gatsby Escape, offering Fitzgerald fans tickets to the West End production at the nearby London Coliseum alongside a one-night stay and pre-theatre dining. Be greeted with a glass of champagne on arrival before discovering Gatsby-inspired amenities in your room – expect the programme for your perusal pre-show, accompanied by chocolate-dipped strawberries – followed by a decadent dining experience in the flagship opulent restaurant.

Here, you can dine on an exquisite three-course dinner inspired by the glamour and decadence of the Jazz Age and featuring playful nods to The Great Gatsby, such as a garden pea and asparagus soup to start – a tribute to Gatsby’s green light across the bay – and New York cheesecake to finish. A rather fitting cocktail named Old Sport – featuring whisky, Italian vermouth, Luxardo and angostura bitters – is the perfect way to toast the night ahead. With this package only available until 7 September 2025, we’d recommend booking sooner rather than later.
