The London Edition
Subtle British sophistication in Fitzrovia
Housed in a historic 1835-built property with a Georgian façade, The London Edition incorporates lavish Edwardian interiors that hearken back to 1908. Located in Fitzrovia, guests step into a buzzing entry lobby lit with chandeliers, while the hotel’s rooms are characterised by dark wood panelling and George Smith lounge chairs, referencing yacht cabin design. The modern British feel of the Berners Tavern restaurant is enhanced with a montage of still-life paintings, while nestled at the back of the hotel, at the intimate, reservations-only Punch Room bar, the drink of choice is pleasingly presented in antique silver bowls.
