21 Piccadilly
London, England W1J 0BH
United Kingdom

 
GENERAL INFORMATION :

What to expect: Built in 1909 as one of London’s most luxurious hotels, the Piccadilly features Edwardian details seamlessly woven into contemporary décor. Light marble floors, dark ash furnishings, and original artwork complement the lobby’s fan-shaped windows, friezes, and leaded-glass domes. The hotel is a magnet for business travelers, vacationers, and honeymooning couples in search of the ultimate central location.

Amenity highlights: Guests have complimentary access to Champney's Health Club, elegantly set within the hotel's former library. Among the marble columns and classical statues are cardiovascular and resistance machines, steam room and sauna, two squash courts, a café, a mosaic-tiled indoor pool and spa ringed with chaise lounges, and a relaxation room with a floor-to-ceiling fish tank.

Insider tip:Jermyn Street, 1 block to the south of the hotel, and world-famous Saville Row, 2 blocks to the north, are epicenters of traditional tailoring. From a tietack to a made-to-measure suit, these historic garment districts offer a quintessentially English shopping experience

DINING :

Terrace Restaurant and Bar - Serving modern French cuisine at lunch and dinner, this split-level restaurant has a vaulted glass ceiling, large Doric columns, and an outdoor eating area that opens in summer. Oversized table lamps, original artwork, white linens, and smooth stone-block walls set the scene on the upper level. A few steps down, a more relaxed seating area offers sofas, leather armchairs, and bistro tables. The brightly lit bar has light marble floors and a grand piano, often used for live entertainment.

The Oak Room - The original Edwardian limed-oak paneling, extravagantly carved gilt Rococo details, grand piano, and huge glass chandeliers make this a splendid place for tea. Little changed since the hotel was first built in 1909, the interior glows with a rose-colored light reflected from the paneling, gilt busts, urns, and mirrored French doors. Serving afternoon tea only.

The Burlington Bar - Open from early evening until late, this bar serves cocktails, drinks, and snacks in a traditional setting. With mahogany paneling and green-leather chairs, the atmosphere is reminiscent of a private club.
