As far as hotel amenities, guests receive complimentary access to Gym Box Holborn, which is a two-minute walk away. On the ground floor, L’oscar Restaurant is the bustling heart of the hotel. The all-day spot is inspired by the famous Café Florian in Venice, and Jacques Garcia designed a beautiful restaurant on the grand scale of Baroque with mirrors, gilded panels, original art and comfortable seating.
Our Inspector's Highlights
- As you wander through the hotel, you can’t help but be drawn in by its playful charm. Theatrical interiors, inspired by Victorian poet and playwright Oscar Wilde, transport you to a world of glamour. Rich velvet furnishings, gilded details and delicate hummingbird motifs create an opulent atmosphere, while a striking birdcage chandelier in the stairwell adds to the drama.
- The opulent L'oscar Restaurant attracts a sophisticated crowd of well-heeled Londoners, visitors and hotel guests alike. Inspired by an ancient Venetian café, the space is adorned with deep purple velvet banquettes and walls and ceilings lined with mirrors. Breakfast is served here, followed by bistro-style lunch, traditional afternoon tea and intimate dinners. For late-night cocktails, head to the Onyx Bar.
- Guests can expect the elegance of French hospitality with a hint of flamboyance. Staff addresses you by name, offering a warm welcome and slick, attentive service that ensures every whim is taken care of.
- The boutique hotel is well situated in the heart of London’s buzziest district. It’s a 10-minute to the cobbled streets and gorgeous boutiques of Covent Garden, as well as several West End theaters and Somerset House, a fantastic venue for exhibitions, concerts and in winter, an outdoor ice rink. Both the British Museum and the inspiring Sir John Soane's Museum are also nearby.
- Two drawing rooms on the ground floor provide a welcoming space to unwind with a book, enjoy a coffee or simply watch the world go by as you plan your day. Shelves lined with vintage books offer plenty to keep you engaged.
The Rooms
- There are 39 boudoir-like rooms, each with its own distinct character, varying in size, shape and decorative details. Every room is adorned with rich, jewel-toned walls, ranging from the soft sage green of the Deluxe Room to the deep crimson of the Junior Suite Grande.
- Theatrical touches are a mainstay across all accommodations, from butterfly taps to Lalique lamps. Each room or suite is brought to life with its own sense of character, whether it be oversized tapestry headboards, luxurious silk fabrics, oil paintings or patterned wallpaper.
- Rooms may be full of whimsy, but they are thoughtfully equipped with practical elements. Plush Icelandic eiderdown duvets, yoga mats, access to PressReader and desks that cleverly double as dressing tables with flip-up mirrors ensure both comfort and convenience.
- The L’oscar Suite is the hotel’s signature suite, spanning 700 square feet, evoking the grandeur of a royal French residence. It boasts regal-looking fabrics, a Royal Doulton fireplace and a separate lounge area with large windows offering expansive views over Southampton Row. You will want to linger in the spacious bathroom’s standalone, deep-soaking bathtub and all-marble walk-in shower.
