Guests will delight at this hotel's modern British design aesthetic.
Pulling up in front of Haymarket Hotel in a black London taxi, you can't help noticing the property's aristocratic bearing. Sure enough, the architect of this stunning luxury hotel was John Nash, whose other Regency London landmarks include Buckingham Palace and nearby Trafalgar Square.
Its Georgian exterior may present a stiff upper lip, but inside, Haymarket Hotel is the exact opposite of stuffy. Setting the tone is the clean-lined lobby, which showcases a stainless-steel sculpture by acclaimed U.K. artist Tony Cragg. The 50 spacious rooms and suites revel in contemporary English design, from their bold fabrics to their granite, glass, and oak bathrooms.
This being England, take a spot of afternoon tea in the Conservatory. And don't forget to visit Soholistic, with its gym, spa, organic pharmacy, and 60-foot swimming pool. Follow dinner and drinks at the hotel's Brumus Bar & Restaurant with a night at the theater - or a stroll through 58-acre St. James's Park.
