One Aldwych
1 Aldwych London, WC2B 4BZ England Show on Map
Highlights
Welcome to London's cultured, independent hotel at the beating heart of city life. One Aldwych is one of the very few hotels in London (or indeed the world) that can say it is truly independent. As such everything is created and curated to delight. Stepping into the lobby of this singularly beautiful building is to step into a moment in history, dressed up in style. Built in 1905 as the home of The Morning Post newspaper, it still inspires spirited conversation and connection. Today, the building’s Art Nouveau curves and stylish flair sit easily with the modern luxuries of this contemporary, forward-thinking hotel. Known as the hotel for Londoners at heart, wherever they might be from, One Aldwych is at the centre of Covent Garden, London’s most exciting neighbourhood. For the curious minded, you have access to the finest entertainment and cultural adventured, with galleries, museums, West End theatres and the famous Royal Ballet & Opera on the doorstep. For those in need of rest and retreat, what about being cocooned in the Health Club, or having your favourite drink brought to your favourite corner of The Library, a private sanctuary from the streets. Designed to be more than just a place to lay your head, each suite and bedroom embraces a stylish character that pays homage to the sense of modern, independent Britishness that One Aldwych represents. Think of the resident team as friends with all the best recommendations for brunch, ballet, boutiques, exhibitions and little-known corners of the city you’ll love. Closer to home, enjoy the time-honoured British tradition of afternoon tea with a magical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory twist. Later there’s dinner in Indigo, a restaurant celebrating British independent producers before lingering a little longer with drinks in the vivacious Lobby Bar.

Dining
Indigo
Indigo is both our signature restaurant and a neighbourhood jewel famed for flavour. If you're staying with us, we look forward to you taking a seat for breakfast, lunch, dinner or indeed all three. If you're visiting Covent Garden then do stop by, we're always delighted to see old and new friends in Indigo's calm and elegant space overlooking the vibrant Lobby Bar – a prime position from which to keep an eye on the hotel's comings and goings...
Lobby Bar
Have you got time for a drink? Whether its a morning cappuccino over the papers, a light working lunch or an after-hours nightcap, we like to think this is where captivating conversations happen at all hours. The Lobby Bar is a London institution – a dynamic drinking destination at the corner of Covent Garden, known for exquisite and inventive signature cocktails crafted by our master mixologists. As the name suggests, rather than being tucked away our bar is the beating heart of our beautifully-curated lobby, punctuated with offbeat objets d'art and framed by the building's art nouveau curves.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory afternoon tea
Fizzy lifting drinks, Snozzberry jam, chocolate fudge milkshake mixed by waterfall – indulge your inner child and adventure into the magical, mouth-watering world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with our enchanting afternoon tea inspired by Roald Dahl’s iconic story.
