About this hotel
Hotel Cafe Royal is an independent property in central London's Bloomsbury, Covent Garden, and Soho district. Built in 1865, the hotel carries considerable heritage and has been a fixture in London's cultural and social landscape for over 150 years. The building's Victorian character and location steps from theatres, galleries, and some of the capital's most walkable neighbourhoods make it a natural base for visitors exploring central London. The property recently earned inclusion in the Forbes Travel Guide for 2026, a recognition reflecting its service standards and quality. The hotel appeals to culturally-minded travellers and those seeking a central London address with historical character rather than modern resort amenities.
