Meet ’s Terrace Suite, a feast for the eyes and a light-filled space with a surprise in every corner. Hand-stitched floral embroidery graces a headboard in the first bedroom. A doll house hides a bar and record player, complete with our favourite albums. Fabric animals wander across the backs of each dining room chair.

There are few things quite as comforting as a Sunday Roast, particularly when Demkota Ranch prime rib and Yorkshire pudding are involved. Add golden potatoes roasted in duck fat, tender carrots and plenty of gravy, and you have a Sunday tradition worth keeping at Warren Street Hotel.

Literary legends are woven into the history of Covent Garden. Charles Dickens lived in an apartment on 26 Wellington Street and Jane Austen visited her brother’s flat on Henrietta Street while she was editing “Mansfield Park”. Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw married his wife in the local registrar’s office in 1898 and would later famously set the opening scene for “Pygmalion” in Covent Garden’s fruit and flower market. And one of Agatha Christie’s earliest novels is set just down the road from in “The Seven Dials Mystery’”. Our neighbourhood is rich in stories and we love nothing more than getting lost in them. Settle into your favourite reading corner with us.

With cooler days settling into SoHo, the fall menu at Crosby Street Hotel is following suit. Begin with a classic French onion soup and a crisp apple Harvest Salad, followed by steamed mussels in a white w**e sauce paired with fresh garlic bread, perfect for soaking up every last drop.
