Boutique hotels provide a high level of intimacy and privacy that is difficult to achieve in larger resorts. While you’ll certainly find plenty of high-end, big-name hotels in London, the beautiful city also has some unique and cozy accommodations. From personal service to smaller crowds, booking a boutique venue can make all the difference when traveling in the UK capital. While many boutique accommodations are independently owned, properties like 45 Park Lane, part of the Dorchester Collection, offer a more intimate feel without skimping on luxury by offering five-star service in just 45 rooms. Hilton’s 91-room NoMad London, which opened in the West End’s Covent Garden in 2021 (the same year New York’s NoMad closed) is another great example of a globally-supported eco-friendly destination.
Typically, boutique hotels have less than 100 rooms and suites, and guests are treated with friendly and familiar kindness from check-in to check-out. Rather than having many dining and drinking options on-site, like most large hotels, they tend to have only one or two, if any. Another benefit to this is that you will meet few foreign tourists who stop by for dinner at a signature restaurant or chef-driven concept. Plus, several on-site dining options encourage guests to explore the city’s vibrant dining scene, allowing you to live like a local before heading back to your cozy quarters. Whether you’re a Londoner planning a stay or a first-time visitor, enjoy an exciting stay when you book a room at one of London’s best boutique hotels.
