Fodor's Expert Review Waldorf Hilton

Aldwych, London, Greater London, WC2B 4DD, England Fodor's Choice

The location of this historic Edwardian hotel is grand enough from the outside that you could easily mistake it for just another of the West End theaters by which it is surrounded on the Aldwych. Guest rooms present a much more modern vibe, with bold color schemes and contemporary furnishings, together with a few welcome extras such as plasma-screen TVs. Rooms are a fairly decent size, given the London average. Befitting the address, the elegant in-house restaurant offers pre- and post-theater menus if you're off to see a show.

PROS

  • superb choice for West End theatergoers
  • large indoor swimming pool
  • well-equipped modern rooms

CONS

  • few discounts or deals
  • big crowds on the Strand on entry or exit
  • feels more chain-hotel than the grand exterior would suggest
