GENERAL INFORMATION :

What to expect: Dating from 1901, the Hampshire is a handsome, late-Victorian building - originally a dental hospital. In summer the outside terrace becomes a Continental-style café, while inside, the traditional furnishings are peppered with Asian accents. The subtle eccentricity goes down well with both business and leisure travelers, and with a number of stars of stage and screen.

Amenity highlights: For many guests the service is the biggest draw, but for those who love London, it is the hotel's West End location that is the star attraction. The Hampshire could not be more central to theater and sights, and the views are the epitome of bustling London. From the front, the bright lights of Leicester Square are visible, while many rooms at the rear enjoy views of Big Ben, Nelson’s Column, and the great dome of Her Majesty’s Theatre.

Insider tip: Directly opposite the hotel’s entrance is the city’s Official Half-Price Ticket Booth, which sells London theater tickets at deep discounts.

PROPERTY AMENITIES :

Unusually for such a grand property, there are no steps leading to the main entrance and elevators reach all floors, making this an easy-access hotel. Guests seeking physical activity can head for the fitness center, equipped with cardiovascular machines, a television, water fountain, and complimentary towels. On request, guests roaming the hotel can use a portable phone, to which all their room calls are redirected.

ROOMS :

This hotel offers 124 guestrooms. Décor includes richly colored fabrics; chaise lounges; scalloped draperies; carved headboards; tones of deep green and gold. Italian marble bathrooms have combination shower/tubs and heated towel rails. All accommodations are equipped with Internet access. Mobile phones are available on request.

DINING :

Apex - This chic, dark-wood paneled formal restaurant, has discreet lighting and charcoal-colored dining chairs. It serves an à la carte breakfast, lunch, and dinner from a weekly changing menu and has an in-house bakery and modern international cuisine.

Crescent Bar - This atmospheric subterranean bar serves drinks and light fare Monday-Saturday evenings. Funky sofas, dim lighting, and numerous intimate alcoves make this a popular haunt for celebrities looking to escape the paparazzi.

The Terrace - This continental-style alfresco café, open during the warmer months, is a great place to people-watch on the edge of bustling Leicester Square.

Breakfast is not included in the room rate but can be purchased at the hotel for £16 (approximately $26 USD) per person per day.
