One of the trendiest hotels in central London, The Soho Hotel manages to combine the best features of a luxury hotel with all the best characteristics of home. Its location is excellent the hotel is conveniently nestled in a private mews just minutes from the bustling shopping hub of Oxford Street. As the name suggests you'll find yourself in the very heart of Soho with its impressive number of quirky shops, delicious delis and on-trend restaurants. The hotel is beautiful and, one of the best signs of any hotel, is a busy hub for Soho locals.

Beds are draped in colourful throws, there are comfortable armchairs and user-friendly desks, windows are floor to ceiling, bathrooms are modern and the mini-bar stocks a mix of delicious treats and party-size drinks perfect for hosting an in-room party.
