Park Plaza London Riverbank

This contemporary luxury hotel sits right on the Thames’ South Bank, a 20-minute walk along the river to Big Ben and Westminster. Vauxhall station and its surrounding gay village are about 10 minutes away on foot, meaning you are perfectly positioned for days of high culture and sightseeing as well as nights of heavy gay partying. Park Plaza London Riverbank in one of the most booked gay-friendly hotels in London South Bank.

All of the rooms are decorated in a simple, unobtrusive style, with clean modern lines and neutral color palettes. The suites have kitchenette facilities (including a microwave, toaster, kettle, and espresso machine) and come in one, two, and three-bedroom, as well as an open-plan studio option. The three-bedroom suite sleeps up to eight people, making it an ideal choice for a group of friends traveling in style. If you can, select a room or suite facing the river for some truly iconic views of London’s riverside skyline.

If you choose not to splash out on a view room, don’t worry: you can get the views from the hotel’s restaurant, which blends Pan Asian and Peruvian influences for a high-end fusion experience. The attached bar specializes in Latin cocktails and spirits, and hosts free live music every night.

There is a well-equipped fitness suite on-site, as well as a lovely indoor swimming pool with lots of natural sunlight. A spa is currently under construction – but with Chariots Vauxhall less than 10 minutes away, you probably won’t miss it.
