One Aldwych, Grade II listed luxury hotel in City of Westminster, England.
One Aldwych is a luxury hotel housed in a triangular building topped with a distinctive copper dome at the corner of Aldwych and Wellington Street. It contains 105 rooms decorated with contemporary artworks and natural silk furnishings, plus an indoor chlorine-free swimming pool.
The building was designed between 1907 and 1910 by architects Mewès and Davis and originally served as the headquarters of the Morning Post newspaper. Following the newspaper's relocation in 1937, the structure was eventually converted and reimagined as a hotel.
The building displays contemporary artworks throughout its interior spaces that guests encounter naturally during their stay. This integration of art into daily hospitality creates the feeling of moving through a private gallery rather than a conventional hotel.
The hotel sits at a central junction with immediate access to Covent Garden theaters and the London Transport Museum nearby. It is well-served by public transportation and surrounded by shops and dining options within easy walking distance.
The property features a rare chlorine-free swimming pool measuring about 56 feet, an uncommon amenity in London luxury hotels. It also offers an afternoon tea experience inspired by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, blending literature with hospitality.
