Strand Palace Hotel

Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"A fabulous hotel in a great location. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating- nothing was too much trouble! Upon arrival I was allowed to check in early and choose which floor I would like to be on, enabling me to choose a quieter floor. The room was spacious for a single room and had a huge bathroom both of which were spotlessly clean and well maintained. The coffee machine was an extra treat! The bed was very comfortable and had a cushioned topper. The gin bar was lovely and served delicious cocktails as well as lighter bites and teas and coffees for breakfast and lunch. As for location, it was great for visiting the theatre, only meters away from Covent Garden, and a short tube or bus ride to many other attractions. I’m already looking forward to my next visit - thank you!"

What is a historic hotel like in London?
Historic hotels give guests an opportunity to stay in a place officially recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world come in all forms like palaces, castles, stately homes or even lodges, pubs or skyscrapers — any place of special interest. These types of hotels in London often preserve original elements like traditional architecture and period features in guestrooms or communal spaces.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These are quite similar. "Historic hotel" is a term often used in the US, whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to emphasise the building and architecture itself. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the cultural value and how it shaped the community.
Do historic hotels in London have modern facilities?
Yes. Every effort is made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Guests should expect the popular amenities you'd get from a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, and free and fast Internet. In London, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown.
