Official Description (provided by the hotel):: True to its original glamorous spirit, Café Royal has reopened as a luxury 5 star hotel in the heart of central London. With elegant Mayfair to the west and creative Soho to the east, Café Royal hotel is perfectly positioned within walking distance of London’s finest shopping streets, tourist attractions and theatreland.Paying homage to the history of the building, grand historic areas have been sensitively restored and a selection of restaurants, bars and events spaces are a tribute to the rich heritage of excellent hospitality and dining. In its reincarnation this iconic London landmark now features 159 contemporary bedrooms and luxurious suites (including six historic suites).Continuing its celebrated legacy, Café Royal offers a selection of restaurants and bars for guests to enjoy. At the heart of the hotel, the Ten Room offers British informal all-day dining while The Bar is the perfect place to relax and unwind with a cocktail. Restored to revive the ornate Louis XVI décor and detailing, the iconic Grill Room (originally established in 1865), is now the place to enjoy Champagne, cocktails and a light menu of British dishes. Reservations are recommended and to recapture the spirit of the room we ask that guests dress to be celebrative and sophisticated. The Café, on Regent Street, revives the European tradition of café culture.To complete the full experience, other new facilities include the Akasha Holistic Wellbeing Centre (opening mid- 2013). Spanning over 1,200sqm, this urban retreat features a state-of-the-art gym, a spa, yoga and Pilates studios, a large pool and organic bar. ... more less

“New kid on the block that is starting to blossom...”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

After a soft opening pre-Christmas this new kid on the block is starting to blossom. The only pastry shop/café on Regent Street on the ground floor and the bar at the rear are becoming established. Pity they had no Canadian Club in the Bar though to make a Manhattan with. The developing Grill Room will be enhanced with new food... More

“Great location, service and room design need work”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

I stayed at the Cafe Royal for one week while in London for business. The location was excellent; easy access to Mayfair and Soho restaurants and shopping, multiple Tube lines within walking distance. Staff are extremely friendly and polite. There is a US outlet installed in each guestroom which was very useful. A few issues, however: - I asked for... More

“Cafe Royal's Elegant Charm”

Reviewed 3 May 2013

It starts with the doorman who is an immediate friend, he is welcoming, friendly and helpful. Stepping off busy Regent Street on Friday at lunchtime into a rarified atmosphere of elegant luxury, from the marble floors to the stained glass windows above the revolving door entrance to the painted ceilings, everything is magnificent. It is all either original and perfectly... More

On a recent visit to my daughter in London I stopped at the Cafe Royal for the night.

“Ten Restaurant - fantastic”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

Both food and service are fantastic. Can't wait to return. Yes, it's a big open space but who cares when it's so good. Wheat at high end restaurants most weeks and this will get another visit. The waitress was tricky to understand but that's not unique in London.

“Avoid at all costs”

Reviewed 21 April 2013

Words cannot describe how awful this hotel is. Avoid it at all costs. Whoever was behind the makeover of the Cafe Royal made the dreadful mistake of imagining that someone wanting to stay in an expensive hotel in London would want an experience akin to a weekend in the Dignitas Clinic in Switzerland. This is a hotel sterilized at birth,... More

“A perfect hotel. Almost.”

Reviewed 20 April 2013 via mobile

An excellent hotel. The check-in and service throughout the stay was impeccable and flawless. The busy busy location is the only slight drawback to an otherwise perfect experience. Crazy beautiful bathroom. Restrained and luxurious room. And very effective soundproofed windows!

Thank you for taking the time to share such positive feedback on Café Royal hotel. Our location in the heart of London is incredibly special; I hope you were able to take advantage of the iconic landmarks on our doorstep and equally, I hope the triple glazed windows ensured your stay at the hotel was a tranquil experience.

“Royal service awaits at this luxury hotel”

Reviewed 15 April 2013

The Cafe Royal enjoys a fabulous location right on Regent Street with many attractions within walking distance. The building has been completely gutted. Many of the original features have been retained in the public areas which have a grand but minimalist feel. The hallways are modern and leaning to a Japanese influence with screening and orchids. We were upgraded to... More
