Situated directly between the West End and London’s business quarter, the City, the hotel offers quick access to almost all of central London’s tourist highlights. You will be a 15 minute walk away from the shops, restaurants, bars and theatres that populate London’s glitzy West End. Closer still are landmarks such as St Paul’s Cathedral, the Tate Modern, the London Eye, the South Bank and Shakespeare’s Globe. For access to the rest of London, the hotel is just a few minutes walk away from Blackfriars tube station in Zone 1, which connects to the Circle and District lines. The hotel is also only about a 40 minute cab ride away from Heathrow.
The Crowne Plaza offers a superb range of facilities that elevate it above a lot of other 4 star hotels in London. For example, there are two restaurants, a café, bar, gym, sauna, solarium, steam room, jacuzzi, the hotel’s own personal trainer at your service, a business centre, and special quiet rooms for anyone wanting a more relaxing trip.
There is a local car park that costs from around £35.
The rooms are simply but attractively decorated, and contain a host of great amenities, including air conditioning, internet access, satellite television, a stereo system, minibar, electric kettle, radio and bathroom with bath and shower. 24 hour room service is available.
One aspect of this hotel that is particularly notable is the food. Two restaurants are in operation, including one run by Michelin star awarded chef Giorgio Locatelli, who serves up a range of lauded, authentic Italian cuisine. The other restaurant is the Chinese Cricket Club, providing a complete alternative with innovative takes on traditional Sichuan dishes.
There is flat entry to the building and wheelchair access to the rooms, and guide dogs are welcome to be used.
