6 Luxury Hotels Just Steps Away From Big Ben
01.09.2023 - 14:43 / matadornetwork.com / London
Visiting London is all about hitting the big sites: Tower Bridge, the British Museum, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and, of course, Big Ben. To make every second of your time in the English capital count, book a hotel near one of those must-see places — you’ll feel fully immersed in the city, and you’ll get an eyeful of beauty every time you look out the window or step out the door. Staying in a hotel near Big Ben in London is probably the best strategy because you’re not only next door to the most famous clock tower in the world, but also to so many other must-sees: Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, Trafalgar Square, 10 Downing Street, and, the icing on the cake: Buckingham Palace. Of course, the problem with this idea is that the closer you are to the big attractions, the more expensive the accommodations, but we’ve managed to find six luxury hotels near Big Ben for a variety of budgets.
We hope you love the hotels near Big Ben, London, we recommend! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication.
Just a 10 minutes’ walk down Whitehall Road from Big Ben, Corinthia London is a five-star luxury hotel consisting of 293 rooms, suites, and penthouses. While all the guest accommodations are flawless in their decor, comfort, and amenities, there’s one that stands out from the rest: the Royal Penthouse. Yes, it’s 5,000 square feet and, yes, it comes with its own personal butler, but what makes it exceptional is its terrace that comes with views of the Thames and the South bank, with the London Eye and the Shard on full, gorgeous display. While the location and the vistas will keep you occupied for a long time, you’ll also need sustenance and this property sure has enough to keep you going — there are six food and drinks venue options on site for afternoon tea under a crystal chandelier, cocktails, Champagne, British fare, and Mediterranean cuisine in the garden. Of course, this property would not be a top-notch five-star hotel without a fully equipped spa, and this one is particularly impressive: There’s a gym, hair salon, sauna, pools, etc. and every treatment under the sun is available here. One of the best hotels near Big Ben, Corinthia London is also just six minutes on foot from Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery, 15 minutes from Westminster Abbey, and 20 minutes from Buckingham Palace.
Where: Whitehall Pl, London SW1A 2BD, United Kingdom
Price per night: $1,198
The Conrad London St. James is a five-star hotel owned by the Hilton group and located 10 minutes on foot from both Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. While the building dates back to the 19th century, there’s nothing outdated
