6 Hotels in London With Noteworthy Restaurants
Anybody who tells you that London is no culinary city clearly needs educating as to the eclectic delights served up by its myriad creative restaurants. And where better to start than with the restaurants that feed its hotels? From classic French fine dining to informal mid-century bistros, trendy maximalist Gatsby-esque interiors to pared-back elegance, here are six of the best hotel restaurants.
One Aldwych
Why it made the list
Forget French fine dining and famous British classics, Eneko is a hotel restaurant that goes out on its own and succeeds with its delectable menu of experimental Basque cuisine. Attached to the five-star hotel One Aldwych, Eneko serves up its inimitable Northern Spanish menu in a dramatic basement space close to Covent Garden.
The Ritz
Why it made the list
Old world glamour and breathtaking beauty sets the Ritz restaurant apart from its luxury counterparts. Thanks to its frescoed ceiling, intricate cornicing and parade of chandeliers, there’s nowhere quite like it. Seasonal British classics are the theme of the Michelin-starred menu.
Town Hall Hotel and Apartments
Why it made the list
While the hip, mid-century minimalism of the Typing Room’s décor is eye-catching, this is one of those restaurants where what’s brought out on the plate is the main event. The space may well be stunning but the modern European menu by chef Lee Westbrook is the star of the show.
The London Edition
Why it made the list
Pairing the skills of Michelin-starred chef Jason Atherton with an interior straight out of a Gatsby-esque fantasy, Berners Tavern is one of the hottest tables in town. The menu is all about pleasing British classics but honestly, even if the food wasn’t sublime—which it is—we could almost recommend the restaurant on its aesthetic merits alone.
Ace Hotel London Shoreditch
Why it made the list
Between the gorgeous pink hues of the mid-century modern interior, the eclectic range of live musical performers and the famously leisurely brunches it encourages, Hoi Polloi has plenty to support its place on our list of London’s best hotel restaurants. Located at the Ace Hotel in the heart of Shoreditch, it’s a modernist hipster’s heaven.
The Dorchester
Why it made the list
Understated and elegant, the dining room at Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester is a restaurant where the food wows and leaves the décor to play a supporting role. The fine French cooking reaches new heights with chef Ducasse’s restaurant continually delivering to his own exceptional standards.
