Courthouse Hotel

This 5-star gay-friendly hotel in London is located in the heart of Soho, across the street from the world-famous Liberty of London department store and London’s iconic Carnaby Street. Some of the city’s best (and gayest) nightlife surrounds the hotel, so you will never have to walk very far for a great night out. The hotel is on the affordable side for a five-star, which is especially welcome in uber-expensive London.

Courthouse Hotel is one of the most booked luxury gay hotels in London. It does a great job of blending the historical charm of its listed building with a modern approach to design. The rooms are spacious and decorated in a simple, classic style with luxury accents, such as Italian marble bathroom interiors and fine leather furniture. The selection of TV channels is particularly good, with plenty of international options.

There is a private cinema – one of the largest in London – with a weekly Cinema Club on Saturdays featuring international classic films. Two dining options offer authentic Indian specialties, one with a more high-end ambiance and the other focusing on casual street food. The Toy Roof bar, overlooking Carnaby Street, is a great place to unwind with a drink on a pleasant day.
