Hotel Café Royal

Hotel Café Royal occupies a landmark building at the junction of Regent Street and Piccadilly Circus, with Piccadilly Circus Underground station at its doorstep and Soho, Mayfair and the Royal Academy of Arts all within a short walk. The Regent Street location places the hotel at the centre of London's West End shopping and theatre district.

The building opened in 1865 as the Café Royal restaurant and became a meeting point for writers and artists including Oscar Wilde, Virginia Woolf and later David Bowie, before a major restoration converted it into a hotel in 2012 while preserving the Grade II*-listed Oscar Wilde Bar and Louis XVI-style interiors. The result blends 19th-century decorative plasterwork with a contemporary hotel programme.

Rooms extend from Deluxe Rooms to Dome Suites beneath the building's copper domes and the Oscar Wilde Suite, the hotel's signature accommodation. The Café Royal restaurant serves modern European dishes in the historic dining room, and the Green Bar continues the building's cocktail heritage. Akasha Holistic Wellbeing Centre spans three floors below ground with an indoor pool, hammam and full treatment menu, making it one of the more extensive spa offerings among West End hotels.

The central Piccadilly Circus location and proximity to Regent Street's flagship stores suit shopping-focused leisure travellers, while the hotel's meeting rooms and central position also draw business guests attending appointments across the West End and Mayfair.
