Next to gay bar

There are many gay-friendly hotels in London, but with its Covent Garden location, epic food and beverage choices, and casual yet classy design, it’s hard to go past the 5-star luxury St Martins Lane London Hotel.

Getting to or stumbling home from Soho gayborhood is a breeze, as is the easy access to some of London’s top sites and transport options. This is why St Martins Lane London Hotel is one of the most popular gay-friendly hotels among gay visitors.

The restaurants and bars are what attract travelers to St Martins Lane London, with French cuisine all day, English-style afternoon tea, and a speakeasy serving made-to-order cocktails well into the evening.

Location

Covent Garden is a popular destination for tourists visiting London as it’s so centrally located. St Martins Lane London is a 3-minute walk to the West End theaters, Trafalgar Square Monument, and Leicester Square tube station. It’s just half a mile to the Thames River. The gayborhood of Soho is just under a mile away, making it the ideal location for gay partiers. London Heathrow Airport is just over an hour by car and only 2 miles from St Pancras Station for those going to or coming from Paris by Eurostar.

Style & Design

Designer Philippe Starck combined classic Britain with just a touch of eccentricity. Picture the social areas where elegance meets edgy, and that’s the 5-star luxury St Martins Lane London. Tim Andreas of Banjo created the room's decor, providing an ethereal yet sensual feel. The entire vibe of the hotel is designed to allow guests to feel the excitement of the city while staying in the property.

Facilities

The food and beverage outlets set St Martins Lane London apart from its competition. Starting with EllaMia, which brings a touch of LA’s coffee culture to the center of London, then there’s The Restaurant, which serves breakfast until 10:30 a.m. It reopens for lunch and dinner with a French menu. We love the bottomless drinks brunch with special guest DJs every Saturday and Sunday. It doesn’t end there. A London stay isn’t complete without experiencing an English Afternoon Tea, and Tea and Tales offers one of the best, daily between 12 pm and 4 pm. Book in advance and enter the discount codes found on the hotel’s Facebook page for more savings. For a touch of excitement, a handshake will get you in the door of the hotel’s speakeasy-style bar, Blind Spot, where signature and bespoke cocktails are available. It’s open Tuesday through Saturday from 5 pm until late. Not sure what to order? Spin the globe, and whatever country it lands on will inspire your drinks. The St Martins Lane Hotel has a fitness center loaded with the latest state-of-the-art equipment.

Rooms

Every one of the 203 rooms and suites has floor-to-ceiling windows, which allow the guests to feel the vibrancy of the city without even needing to go outside. The rooms are spacious and luxurious and use modern materials in the finishings. They are light, bright, and airy by day, and by night, you can control the atmosphere with mood lighting. We love the Deluxe Garden Room complete with a stone-walled patio decorated with oversized botanicals. Pets weighing under 20 pounds are as welcome at St Martins Lane London as you are.

Brand Collaboration

St Martins Lane is an absolute standout if you want to be right in the heart of London’s entertainment district. The location is perfect for catching West End shows, exploring local art galleries, and linking up with friends. The rooms are incredibly spacious, and the staff are consistently charming, friendly, and attentive. It is an ideal base for anyone looking to experience the vibrant central London lifestyle.

I felt super welcome during my entire stay. The hotel is a welcoming and friendly sanctuary for all travelers. A massive benefit is the local geography: KU Bar is super close by for a casual drink, and hitting Feel It on a Friday is just a short, easy commute, making it a great club night layout for visitors looking to dive into London’s LGBTQ+ scene.
