Location & Transportation

Historical Significance
The building originally served as a six-story Georgian townhouse with historical significance. Karl Marx stayed here in 1849-1850 and began writing 'Das Kapital' during his three-month residence. Austrian composer Johann Strauss also stayed at the hotel in 1838.
“Nestled in the West End, this historic building places guests within steps of Leicester Square and major cultural hubs. I noted the uniquely decorated rooms blend vintage charm with modern comforts, offering a distinctive experience beyond typical hotel chains. While the on-site bar's late-night music can be disruptive, particularly on weekends, the location and character make it a compelling choice for exploring central London.”
