If you want to make the most of the shopping, dining and entertainment on Oxford Street, then the best place for you to stay is on Oxford Street itself so you don’t miss a single minute of all the excitement. There are lots of beautiful hotels to choose from, so here’s a complete guide to help you decide.
Treehouse London
The vibe: The Treehouse is all about embracing your inner child, reminiscing on those days spent playing hiding and seek, snuggling in cozy corners and using your imagination to make up stories. As such, it’s designed as a place to stay and play, with a rooftop that has a Secret Garden-esque atmosphere, and a whimsical decor throughout that is reminiscent of your favourite childhood treehouse. Children and dogs are welcome too, so you can stay with the whole family.
The food: There are three dining options. The Nest, perched on top of the hotel, which offers delicious cocktails, wine and sharing platters. Madera, for reimagined Mexican cuisine that pairs bold flavours with organic ingredients. Pizzeria Mozza, which serves up locally sourced, premium, seasonal bounty and tasty crusts.
The price: From £330 per night
Sanderson Hotel
The vibe: This is one of the original West End hotels, seeing many iconic parties since its opening in the 50s (if only the walls had ears). The decor reflects its rich history, with a mix of bold, whimsical and fun details. Rooms are modern and serene, offering the perfect respite after a busy day of shopping, eating – and partying.
The food: You really don’t have to leave the hotel if you don’t want to. The famous Long Bar – which has seen many a celebrity – is the perfect place to start your evening, with an ever-changing menu of delightful cocktails, mocktails, wines, and beers. The Restaurant offers elevated dishes all day round, including clam linguine and braised lamb shank. The Mad Hatter’s Afternoon Tea is well worth the detour too.
The price: From £262 per night
The BoTree
The vibe: Minutes away from Bond Street station, The BoTree is ideally located for both shopping and sightseeing across London. Conscious luxury is the name of the game here, with the vibrant decor reflecting the fun and vibrancy of Mayfair (colourful art, plush furnishings and architectural furniture feature throughout). We especially love the uniquely decorated rooms and decadent marble bathrooms.
The food: The food is a destination in itself. LAVO is all about sophisticated Italian cuisine with coastal flair, curated cocktails and comfortable surroundings, and the BoTree bar, with its elegant teal marble bar, serves up a cocktail and drinks menu that is quintessentially Soho fun.
The price: From £391 per night
The London Edition
The vibe: Located just off Oxford Street, in Fitzrovia, this boutique hotel is known for its thoughtful design that blends the past with the present. Oak floors, wood-paneled walls, custom furnishings and evocative photography from Hendrik Kerstens can be found in the luxurious rooms, while the lobby and dining spaces are a delightful mix of eclectic art and vintage-inspired furnishings. Don’t miss their famous ‘Art After Hours’ walking tour of local galleries in the area.
The food: Berners Tavern, a restaurant by chef Jason Atherton, presents signature dishes using seasonal ingredients, including Dingley Dell BBQ pork chop, artichoke risotto and treacle sponge. Enjoy the vast selection of bespoke cocktails and tipples at the cosy Punch Room and the Lobby Bar.
The price: From £467 per night
Radisson Blu Hotel, London Bond Street
The vibe: This boutique-style hotel is a stone’s throw away from the shops of Oxford Street (Selfridges is a few minutes walk away!) and the art galleries of Marylebone Village. The refurbished lobby, with its soothing tones, and modern vintage furniture sets the tone for a relaxing break. All 149 rooms have all the mod cons and are decorated in a calming way, providing the perfect escape after a day of sightseeing, culture and shopping.
The food: At the Lounge Bar, you can enjoy an Italian menu of cicchetti, antipasti, pasta and secondi, and a refreshing selection of cocktails and wines. Upstairs in the wood-panelled Bond St. Tea Rooms, you’ll find the decidedly more British take on afternoon tea – but with a twist.
The price: From £370 per night
The Langham
The vibe: Luxury at the heart of the West End. This iconic haven is all about British elegance with a twist, thanks to luxurious furnishings, polished furniture, tasteful art, delicate floral patterns and pastel tones. Don’t forget to immerse yourself in the peaceful ambiance of Chuan Spa, with its soft and calming hues.
The food: Of course, the afternoon tea at the Palm Court is unmissable, as is the decadent take on an English breakfast at the Wigmore. Chez Roux presents a unique opportunity to experience chef Michel Roux’s cooking in London, and Artesian is a four-time winner of The World’s 50 Best Bars award. You can even organise a class at the Cookery School if you have the time.
The price: From £558 per night
