Timeless Luxury: A Peak Into London’s Hotel Café Royal

|

Welcome to the Hotel Café Royal - where Victorian-era grandeur meets modern elegance. The elusive London hotel is a restoration of the original Café Royal members-only club, a 19th century cafe frequented by writers, artists, musicians, and even members of the royal family! Here, notable figures dined and toasted with glasses of absinthe, cementing a legacy of luxury and debauchery hidden behind gilded doors.

Today, the restored hotel sits proudly on Regent Street, within spitting distance of city landmarks like Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden, and Soho. With its elaborate architecture and contemporary design, the hotel continues to attract a sophisticated clientele. Step inside to get a glimpse for yourself, basking in the moody glow of the lobby's grand chandelier as rich aromas of dark coffee, sandalwood, and musk envelop you.
