Why we love it
The setting
The Resident Covent Garden sits on a quiet street a short walk from London's main theatre row. Covent Garden underground station is about 340 metres away, so the West End, the river and the City are all within easy reach on foot or by Tube. The 57-room hotel keeps things small and personal, with a front desk staffed around the clock. Step outside and you are minutes from theatres, restaurants and the piazza, yet the location is calm enough for a proper night's sleep.
What to expect
The Standard Double room runs to 18 square metres with a full double bed, a private bathroom and free Wi-Fi. A clever touch is the in-room kitchenette: a sink, kettle, microwave and coffee-making kit let you skip the queue for breakfast and save a little on eating out. Rooms are quiet and well finished, with good lighting and a small work area. No meals are included with this rate, but the kitchenette and the cafes nearby mean you are never short of options.
Things to do nearby
Theatre lovers are spoilt here. The Adelphi Theatre is roughly 45 metres from the door and the Savoy Theatre about 180 metres away. The London Transport Museum is around 275 metres on, a good rainy-day stop. Walk a little further and you reach the Thames, Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery. The Tower of London is about 3.3 km east if you fancy a longer outing along the river.
Best for
This one suits solo travellers and couples who want to walk to the theatre and come back without a taxi. The kitchenette helps anyone watching their spend, and the central spot works well for a short, busy city break.
