Hazlitt's, London - A Georgian Gem in Soho
Hazlitt's, a carefully restored row of period buildings in the heart of London's Theatreland, offers a refined sanctuary. It stands as a testament to thoughtful preservation, where the highest levels of comfort and service complement a palpable sense of history. This is not a hotel that shouts; it whispers of old-world charm and discerning taste.
Location
Situated in Frith Street, off Soho Square, Hazlitt's occupies a colourful corner that is undoubtedly one of London's prettiest streets. It's right in the heart of the West End, a mere stone's throw from the designer boutiques of Bond Street and a short stroll from the iconic Oxford Street and Piccadilly Circus. The nearest Underground stations, Tottenham Court Road, are just a two-minute walk away, placing the capital's greatest attractions within easy reach. For those keen to explore on foot, Tally ho's award-winning walking and bike tours depart nearby, offering an intimate look at the city.
Style and Character
This beautiful period hotel is formerly the home of the author William Hazlitt, a master of English prose who, rather ironically, died in poverty in one of the adjoining townhouses in 1830. The careful restoration has transformed these historic Georgian houses into a haven of calm. Each individually-furnished room is named after notable figures who frequented Hazlitt's era, adding a narrative layer to the experience. History hides above eyeline here, and one can easily revel in the past's more mischievous moments. The décor is a thoughtful curation of antiques and artwork, with carved oak beds and the judicious use of Victorian fittings.
Service and Facilities
The staff at Hazlitt's are key to its success, embodying helpfulness without being overbearing. Their charm has earned the hotel a well-deserved César award as London Hotel of the Year. While the focus is on intimate, personalized service rather than an exhaustive list of amenities, the hotel ensures a comfortable and elegant stay. The priority is the health and well-being of guests, and the serene atmosphere contributes significantly to this.
Rooms
The individually-furnished rooms are a delight, each named after historical visitors to Hazlitt's day. Expect rooms furnished with antiques and artwork, featuring 18th-century carved oak beds, and bathrooms fitted with Victorian fittings, many with cast iron roll-top baths, vintage showers, and high-level cisterns. Some rooms offer impressive details, such as a dressing table concealed behind panelling next to the fireplace, or a vast marble bath filled with water from the beak of a life-sized eagle. Suites offer separate living areas and luxury bathrooms with ornate Victorian bathing machines, ensuring a truly immersive period experience.
Food and Drink
While Hazlitt's does not have an onsite restaurant in the conventional sense, the daily breakfasts are a highlight, earning praise for their quality and variety. Guests can expect carefully prepared offerings that set a discerning tone for the day. For other dining needs, the hotel's prime Soho location places an almost endless array of acclaimed restaurants and pubs within a few minutes' walk, from casual bites to Michelin-starred experiences. It's worth noting that the surrounding area is a culinary adventure waiting to be explored.
Value for Money
Hazlitt's offers a unique proposition in London's hotel landscape. The price point reflects the historic nature, prime location, and personalized service. While not a budget option, the immersive historical experience, the charm of the rooms, and the award-winning service provide considerable value for the discerning traveller seeking character and comfort over modern, generic amenities. What is included is an unforgettable journey into London's past.
Accessibility
Given the historic nature of the building, specific accessibility details may vary. While the hotel prioritizes guest well-being, those with mobility concerns should contact the hotel directly to discuss the suitability of specific rooms and the feasibility of access, as not all rooms may be easily reachable or adapted for wheelchair use. The hotel's charm lies in its period architecture, which can present inherent challenges.
Family-Friendly
Hazlitt's is perhaps best suited for families with older children who can appreciate the historical context and unique décor. The individually designed rooms offer character, but might not cater to the extensive needs of very young children in terms of space or specific child-friendly facilities. Parents seeking a deeply immersive historical experience might find it a memorable stay, but those prioritizing playgrounds and dedicated children's amenities may wish to consider other options.
“This is a charming option for couples seeking a distinctive London vacation, placing you in the heart of Soho near Covent Garden. The historic building features unique, antique-filled rooms, though some may find the absence of modern shower facilities and smaller room sizes a trade-off for the location and character. I see this working well for those who prioritize a central, historically rich experience over contemporary amenities.”
