The hotel is housed in a beautiful building; most Sofitel perks and details are present, but amenities are limited. The gym is very small, and some equipment was out of service. I paid nearly $700 USD per night, and it feels like the value for money falls short compared to other Sofitel hotels: Amsterdam (Grand), Mexico City, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Buenos Aires, among others. As an Accor Platinum member, I was “upgraded” to a room that had a terrible view—basically a wall. There are no true blackout blinds; the sunlight woke me up every morning.

Very nice place to visit, where you are supposed to meet the best bartender of London. Trying to play a quiz game with Mikey . Super recommend this for anyone would like to explore in London.

My stay at this hotel was nothing short of exceptional. The location is superb, perfectly situated for both convenience and exploration. From the moment I arrived, the staff demonstrated impeccable professionalism — attentive, gracious, and effortlessly accommodating at every turn. The room itself was exquisitely appointed, offering both supreme comfort and a sense of understated luxury. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, creating an atmosphere of calm and indulgence. A truly five-star experience in every respect. I very much look forward to returning and would recommend it without hesitation to those seeking sophistication and exemplary service.
