Always a joy to return to South Place Hotel Such a wonderful hotel and we always feel so special when visiting. The team were fab and could not do enough for us. Only stayed for one night this time and everything was just perfect! 5 star contemporary luxury at its best!

We stayed here for 3 nights over a weekend in August while in London to see a show. I stay away a lot for work (or did pre covid) and personally and this is without doubt one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in in the UK, if not the best. By no means the most expensive either. The rooms are quiet, full blackout blinds with very comfy beds- I had the best night’s sleep in years over this last weekend at this hotel. The bar is good, fairly quiet, we didn’t make it to the hidden garden bar but will next time, and the grill restaurant is more than fine. Will also be trying the rooftop fine dining restaurant next time. Location wise it’s fairly quiet leisure wise as an immediate area, but amazing restaurants such as Sushi Samba are very walkable and we rarely even used the tube station round the corner all weekend. Staff can’t do enough, the tech in the rooms is great too with everything being touch button controlled. It just a super relaxing, very well done hotel with lots of high end touches (bit of an odd comment but it smells incredible, and the toiletries are fantastic. To the point I’ve been trying to buy them and the candles that make the lobby smell unreal online since I got home and can’t find them for sale anywhere!). It’s in no way pretentious as some other hotels can be, it’s very chilled and comfortable as an atmosphere. Only super tiny quibble is the ‘book direct’ benefits could be a little clearer as most of the time you book direct you seem to get a discounted rate so they don’t all apply, but don’t let that put you off it’s a simply superb hotel and any book direct benefits you get are just a bonus. Will definitely be back, we can’t recommend it enough. Oh and if you are choosing rooms- the Wilson is definitely worth it for the bathroom alone.

Booked the hotel for a night away and to get away from my own 4 walls. The hotel is lovely and there are some different ways to check in. They have an app where you can send your details before you get there and it meant that when I checked in I didn’t have to stay long in the lobby. A dashing guy took my temperature as I came in, which is reassuring to see and the staff are wearing some cool colour masks which are in keeping with the hotel and the designs around the place. The rooms are big and have a lot of technology, the app has all the information you need but they also have it on the TV in the room maybe for people who don’t have a phone or don’t like apps. They also send you a text message after check in to make sure everything is ok and if you need anything. It’s a nice touch and I used it pre book a taxi. You have to book to go anywhere in the hotel, I had drinks in the bar but because the table was booked by text I just turned up and they were ready for me. The service is a little slower but I guess that’s because of the amount of staff you can have in one place with keeping distance. The restaurant was busy but I didn’t eat there, but I saw a lot of younger people without masks in the hotel, but the staff always asked them to put it back on. Not sure why they have to ask people we should all be used to this by now! Checkout was quick and smooth, the app said I could just leave and a bill would be sent to me but I went to reception. The girl was nice, Italian I think. You cant leave bags at the hotel but there is a safe storage in Liverpool street station so easy to drop your bags and jump on the metro for the day. Will come back for sure as the rooms are nice and they seem to have found ways to still be a hotel with Covid in place. Good luck South Place
