About this place

The Cavendish Hotel is in the privileged
position of being centrally located — just behind Fortnum &
Mason off Piccadilly — yet still tucked away from London’s hustle
and bustle.

 
Review

Built in 1848, it was bombed in World War II and rebuilt in 1966, hence the facade that greets you belies a modern, stylish and spacious interior.

This four-star, 15-floor tower hotel has 230 guest rooms and two penthouse suites redesigned in 2002 by Noel Pierce, who also designed London’s hip boutique hotel K West. The decor is stylish and the colour scheme fashionably neutral, with stand-out pieces including dark wood furniture and leather chairs, while the bathrooms have limestone walls and floors and Philippe Starck chrome fittings.

On the first floor, The Restaurant offers an à la carte seasonal British menu,
set-price lunch and pre-theatre fare. The Lounge, adjacent to the restaurant, is ideal for coffee and snacks and the Lobby is great for drinks and cocktails.

The Cavendish has excelled in creating an intimate and very private setting, complemented by a friendly atmosphere and outstanding service.

The moat of the Tower of London contained water until 1843, when it was drained and filled. During World War II, the moat was converted into allotments for growing vegetables.
