About Hotel Café Royal
Overview
Hotel Café Royal is a striking blend of rich history and modern refinement, perfectly positioned on Regent Street where Soho, Mayfair, and St James’s meet. Once a legendary café and literary hotspot frequented by icons like Oscar Wilde, the building has been masterfully transformed into one of London’s most luxurious five-star hotels.
The 159 rooms and suites combine elegant contemporary design with classic features — expect Carrara marble bathrooms, Bang & Olufsen entertainment systems, Frette linens, and rainfall showers. Many rooms offer views over Regent Street or Piccadilly, and the hotel’s signature suites offer expansive space and unique historical details.
Dining at Café Royal is an occasion in itself. The Oscar Wilde Lounge, a gilded salon dating back to 1865, serves award-winning afternoon tea in a setting fit for royalty. For fine dining, Alex Dilling at Hotel Café Royal holds two Michelin stars and presents exquisite French cuisine in an intimate, refined atmosphere. The Green Bar and Cakes & Bubbles by Albert Adrià add further indulgent options.
Guests also have access to the serene Aqua Spa, which includes an 18-metre lap pool, sauna, steam room, and treatments that fuse Western and Eastern wellness traditions. A modern gym and personal training services are also available.
Whether you're visiting for business, leisure, or a special occasion, Hotel Café Royal provides top-tier service and a central base from which to explore London’s finest shopping, theatres, and landmarks — all just steps from the front door.
