You don’t get much more iconic than this: London Mariott Hotel County Hall is located in the city’s former City Hall, a grandiose building directly facing the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben and immediately next to the London Eye. It is one of the most luxury Instagram-perfect gay-friendly hotels in London.
Inside, the decor honours the building’s prestigious history but offers a modern twist. The rooms are all-white with tasteful pops of colour and large windows, many of which offer unbeatable riverside views of Big Ben. That said, if it’s views you want, you can’t do better than a balcony suite, with its 180 degree views of London’s most famous sights. Premium rooms and suites include access to the riverside M Club Lounge, which serves snacks and refreshments throughout the day.
There is a swanky riverside steakhouse as well as The Library tearooms, which serves one of the best English Afternoon Teas in the city - an absolute must-do for first time visitors.
