One Aldwych
An art-filled Covent Garden hot spot
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

The elaborate Edwardian exterior of One Aldwych belies the the newly refreshed hotel you find inside, where a fantastic 400-piece contemporary art collection seamlessly melds into the décor. A canine sculpture, Beano Dog, made of colorful comics, stands guard at the entrance, and Boatman with Oars anchors the lobby with paddles stretching to the ceiling.
Within the boutique hotel, you’ll find a private screening room with 30 large leather armchairs where One Aldwych often offers movie nights complete with a glass of champagne (as well as dinner at the onsite Indigo restaurant). However, the hotel is better known as a pre- and post-theater drinks spot.
One Aldwych is situated amid the bustle of Covent Garden and mere steps from the West End theaters. The hotel’s Lobby Bar is easily one of the city’s most glamorous places to sample modern mixology. It’s just as artful as the rest of the hotel.
