Where To Stay

Hazlitt's

Hazlitt's

Tucked down a discreet Soho side street stands Hazlitt’s Hotel, made up of four Georgian townhouses dating back to 1718. Named after the celebrated essayist William Hazlitt, whose blue plaque sits beside the front door, this intimate property opened its doors in 1986. Behind its unassuming façade, you’ll find antique four-poster beds, carved oak furnishings, and creaky staircases that feel serenely timeless yet warmly lived-in.

Pascale's Insights

Why

  • Hazlitt’s is a literary sanctuary in the heart of Soho, every corner brims with character, antique charm, and a sense of bringing London’s creative history to life.
  • The atmosphere is that of a quietly polished private home, complete with richly appointed surroundings, hidden flat-screen TVs, and luxurious comforts tucked behind period paneling.
  • Despite its central location, this hotel feels cocooned, soothingly quiet, discreet, and blissfully removed from Soho’s outside bustle.

 

Now You Know

  • Each room is individually named after historical figures connected to the building, offering whimsical narratives woven into design, from carved oak beds to ornate baths and writing nooks that feel like inspiration waiting to happen.
  • The hotel hosts an honesty bar nestled in cozy lounges and a charming library where plush armchairs invite lingering afternoons.
  • Breakfast is served privately in-room, and the team is excellent at preserving the hotel’s intimate, residential feel.

 

Our Two Cents

  • Book the Duke of Monmouth Suite, a two-story hideaway featuring a marble bathtub with water pouring from a bronze eagle, plus a retractable glass roof terrace.
  • This is a hotel that rewards slowing down, best enjoyed with a long soak, a quiet read, or an unhurried evening in.
  • Lean into the storytelling: read William Hazlitt’s essays or enjoy the signed first editions in the common areas, a little literary immersion that enhances the stay.
