Seven Dials rather than Covent Garden Piazza defines the setting of Covent Garden Hotel, placing its entrance on Monmouth Street among smaller shops, theatres and restaurants. Kit Kemp’s individually designed bedrooms and suites combine bold textiles, art and bespoke furniture. The drawing room and library give the ground floor a more private, lived-in feel. Brasserie Max is the main restaurant and bar, with large windows facing the street. Elsewhere are a private screening room, gym and Soholistic treatment facilities. Much of its strength comes from this quieter position between Soho and Covent Garden, close to both without sitting directly in either neighbourhood’s busiest centre.
