Henrietta Experimental

For easy access to the theatres, restaurants and bars of the West End, this chic hotel – which straddles two townhouses in Covent Garden – is a great option. The first London outpost of the France-based Experimental Group, it features 40 rooms and suites adorned with custom 1970s-style furniture, terracotta accents and botanical prints. On-site restaurant, Henri, is inspired by the bistros of Paris, with dishes such as steak frites and tarte tatin on the menu.
