Why we love it
The setting
The Mandrake sits on Newman Street in Fitzrovia, a quiet pocket of central London between Oxford Street and the museum quarter. The building keeps a low profile from the pavement, then opens into dark, theatrical interiors hung with art, plants and unusual objects. The British Museum is a short walk east, and Soho and Tottenham Court Road station are both close by. It is a design-led address rather than a chain hotel, so expect strong character in every room.
What to expect
This deal covers a Standard room for two over two nights. Rooms are compact but richly finished, with deep colours, framed artwork and large windows looking onto the street or courtyard. The rate is room only, so breakfast can be added at booking if you want it. Downstairs there is a bar and a restaurant, plus a planted conservatory and courtyard that the hotel uses for drinks and dining.
Things to do nearby
You are within a few minutes of several Fitzrovia spots. Crabtree Fields, a small green square, is about 200 metres away, and the London Fo Guang Shan Temple sits a similar distance off. The Radha Krishna Temple is roughly 270 metres from the door, and the GettyImages Gallery is around 300 metres. The British Museum, the headline draw nearby, is about 490 metres on foot, with Soho and Covent Garden a little further south.
Best for
Couples who care about design and want a central base for a short London break. Good for a two-night stay built around the museums, Soho dining and West End shopping.
