On St Martin’s Lane in Covent Garden, St Martins Lane London occupies a discreet white building between the theatres of the West End and Trafalgar Square. Philippe Starck designed its 203 rooms and suites with pale interiors, sculptural furniture, full height windows and colour changing bedside lighting; terraces and landmark views vary by category. Restaurant 45 handles all day dining, EllaMia serves coffee and pastries, The Den provides afternoon tea and cocktails, and Blind Spot is a concealed late night bar. A gym is available, but the hotel has no pool or spa. The National Gallery, Leicester Square, Charing Cross and the Royal Opera House are all within a short walk.
