Covent Garden Hotel opened in 1996 as one of Firmdale's early London properties, occupying a converted townhouse in the theater district. The 58 rooms and suites carry Kit Kemp's signature design approach: bold patterns, mixed prints, layered textiles, contemporary art alongside antique furniture. T

Key Features

Dining

Signature Experience

The drawing room for afternoon tea — Firmdale's signature ritual, executed in a space that feels like a collector's London townhouse rather than a hotel lobby.

Theater-district location with a private screening room, in a property small enough (58 keys) to feel residential rather than hotel-scaled. Kit Kemp's design voice is more opinionated here than competing Covent Garden luxury options.

Signature Suite: Luxury Junior Suite

Super King Bed (Twin Beds Possible on Request), Bath Tub, Walk-In Shower, Seating Area with Sofa and Armchairs

Accolades

Recognised in the Cond Nast Traveller UK Readers Choice Awards as one of the Best Hotels in London
