Hyde City
Hyde in name, hide in nature. Though the latest Ennismore sauce pot’s in the heart of City, it offers a cool and calming respite from skyscraper noise.

Surf poncho-inspired dressing gowns, comfy sliders, and products from Malin & Goetz make it a suite escape, and when guests venture out, a number of swoon-worthy corners invite them. On the ground floor awaits Leydi, a Turkish all-day eatery blushed in flirty pinks to knock back meze, home-baked pide, and Mangal-grilled meats and fish. While in the basement, there’s Black Lacquer, an intimate cocktail bar with an impressive vinyl collection. A fitness facility is located on the same floor to balance the treats.

What is the best area to stay in London for first-time visitors?
For first-time visitors, Covent Garden, Soho, Westminster and South Bank are convenient bases, with many of London's major attractions, restaurants and theatres within walking distance. Areas such as Farringdon and St Paul's are also well connected, while Shepherd's Bush and Stratford offer good value, shopping and easy access to central London. The best location depends on whether you prioritise sightseeing, nightlife, shopping or a quieter neighbourhood.
How much does a four-star hotel in London cost per night?
Four-star hotel prices in London vary considerably depending on location, season, room category and demand. As a broad guide, expect to pay around £150–£300 per night for many well-located properties, with premium hotels and busy periods costing considerably more.
