Café Royal occupies a corner position on Air Street in Soho, in a building with Victorian origins. The site has long been associated with hospitality and leisure in central London's West End. The property underwent substantial restoration and reopening in recent years, restoring period features whilst introducing contemporary facilities throughout the building.
Air Street sits in Soho's upper reaches, between Regent Street and Great Pulteney Street, moments from Piccadilly Circus. The area mixes independent retailers, restaurants and galleries with major commercial thoroughfares. Piccadilly Circus tube station is within walking distance, as are the formal gardens of Regent Street's western flank. Guests tend toward those seeking central London's mixed commercial and cultural character.
The hotel balances period architecture with modern service. Rooms are appointed with contemporary furnishings and marble bathrooms. Public spaces draw on the building's heritage whilst accommodating current expectations for dining and informal gathering. Staff maintain professional, efficient service in keeping with the central London location and clientele.
