In the heart of London’s theater district, the elegant Haymarket Hotel is surrounded by restaurants, bars, and is just next door to the Theater Royal. Guests can enjoy a swimming pool, gym, and a spa with a range of treatments.
Afternoon tea is served until 16:30, with delicious cakes, scones with clotted cream and jam, and a wide range of tea and coffee on the menu. Fresh, seasonal produce is used in the restaurant, and tapas is available at the bar.

The Haymarket Hotel, Firmdale Hotels embodies the signature style of the Firmdale collection: a confident mix of modern art, vivid colours and bespoke fabrics, layered into a 5-star setting.

For LGBTQ+ nightlife, Soho is only a short stroll away. Old Compton Street and its surrounding lanes concentrate many of London's iconic gay bars, cabaret venues and queer-friendly cafes. Excellent transport links via Piccadilly Circus and Charing Cross stations also make the rest of the city easy to explore.
Guests can expect the polished services associated with a 5-star hotel: attentive concierge, individually designed rooms and suites, and elegant lounges where afternoon tea and cocktails feel naturally at home. According to room category, accommodation can offer generous proportions and tailored layouts suited to longer stays.
One of the hotel's most talked-about features is its striking indoor swimming pool, complemented by a wellness area, alongside an on-site bar and restaurant where the kitchen leans into seasonal British cooking. A private screening room may also be available for guests seeking a more intimate experience.
