South Place Hotel, London
Expert reviews
“A hip, design-led boutique hotel, South Place impresses at every turn. From the art-filled lobby and espionage-inspired theme to the Michelin-starred seafood restaurant and 80 beautifully laid-out rooms – every detail has been carefully considered.”
“Plugged-in, stylish, and sexy: That’s the crowd this hotel goes for, and you’ll feel that way, too. The first hotel to be built from the ground up in the Square Mile for a century, every inch was run through the design filter, and much of the art was commissioned by celebrated contemporary artists.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in London.
“A colourful rupture from the dour City streets, especially on a rainy commuter day. Sip a gin cocktail among the palm fronds in the Secret Garden bar; dine on turbot in dashi broth at the Michelin-starred restaurant; and bed down in a room with rain showers bigger than the average kitchen.”

Fabulous
The room was stunning and so comfortable. The double shower was amazing! I was very impressed that we were also offered a cocktail as it was my husbands birthday, nice touch.
We were unable to use the bar as there was a private function. Unfortunately, the bar was a huge attraction for our choice of hotel as we were looking forward to using it at the end of the evening but were unable to do so.

A very nice hotel - very nice rooms and friendly staff
Room finish was lovely. Staff were great. Good location
Aircon wasn't particularly strong - but it was certainly comfortable

Best bed ever. Beautiful hotel. Not so great sound effects!
It was lovely. Great room, friendly staff and in an excellent location. It was as also the best bed I’ve ever slept in!!
There was a very annoying ventilation sound constantly which made me mark the hotel down.

Just what I needed, beautiful hotel
This was my second time staying here, much better than the first time I stayed. My room was beautiful especially the bathroom. I slept great because of the blackout blinds and the staff were very good to me. Check in and check out was speedy which I really appreciated.
There is nothing I did not like but sometimes the rooms are very expensive.

Good value for money on a Monday evening
As always, the location being centre in the City is great. Bed and bathroom are great.
Rooms are a bit worn out and could do with an uplift.

Overall a fabulous experience
Everything we needed and more. Excellent comfort.
Just one occasion one Staff member was not very helpful or interested in a request for taxi service info. Plus not keen on publicly being asked for 5percent tip for Staff as we checked out.

It was close to quite a few tube stations n especially the elizabeth line (a walk of less than 10 min) which is brand new n takes us directly to heathrow airport . Hotel staff was very helpful too .

South Place Hotel is in a great location with an excellent restaurant and fast, diligent staff.
The breakfast was outstanding, as well as the lunch; however, there were not to many lunch options on the menu. The location is great as there are many stores near by, within a 15 minute walk radius. The rooms were very comfortable, modern, and clean. Service was great and the restaurant was extremely fast.
The services such as the sauna and steam room were not working during our stay which was frustrating. The gym was good but lacked some basic equipment such as a pull-up bar. The mini bar could have used some healthy snacks, but that wasn't a massive issue.

I would like to give a big shoutout to the front desk staff, Daria! 1. Due to the deposit requirement, I noticed some stains on the chair cushions after checking in and immediately reported it to the front desk, explaining that it wasn't caused by me. Daria promptly responded, saying, "Please let us take care of it!" 2. After checking out, I needed to store my luggage until the evening. I asked Daria where I could buy a cardboard box. Seeing me with multiple bags in the rain, she first took me to a comfortable changing room and told me I could repack and organize myself there. She even helped me find the perfect-sized cardboard box. When I offered to pay for it, she insisted that it wasn't necessary. Later, I couldn't properly thank her as the shuttle arrived, so I decided to publicly acknowledge her exceptional service here. Her performance deserves to be recognized by everyone! Respecting guests, understanding their needs, going the extra mile, and always wearing a big smile – she is the best hotel staff I have encountered in the post-pandemic era! I am truly, deeply grateful.

Vert nice hotel, but the SC left a bad taste in my mind. If you want to pay for good service fine
Room was wonderful and hotel was well located
The service charge added to the room, and also the 15% service charge added to the bar bill. The room SC i've never seen that before and 15% to the bar bill again was in my mind excessive (10% or even 12.5% is ok)

lovely hotel, would stay again
clean, modern, funky, central location, minibar, minispa
glitchy electrics, no decaf drink options in room

Nice place / modern but cosy
Staff attitude, spacious room, modern design, nice furniture, cleanness, good choice of drinks in the mini bar, 1 star Michelin restaurant on the ground floor

Perfect for couples. Amazing location, lovely room.
Location is 10/10. Perfect for couples. The room has a wide range of additional items you can buy which is a nice touch. Drinks, food (good stuff as well), an ‘intimacy kit’, earphones, adapters etc. All of which are nicely presented in drawers. The radio in the room can connect via Bluetooth to your phone, so play music. Good choice of films on the TV
There could have been more plugs. There are adequate plugs already, but found myself having to unplug my charger to plug in hair dryer etc. The TV remote, whilst modern, is so heavy that it could be used as an effective ‘club’ in a life or death situation.

Was good. Friendly personal.
All the service offered during my stay.
Staying at room 607, a noise that could be heard at night like it was a ventilation or chimney blowing from above or opposite the room.
16 March 2023
Very expensive hotel generally for food/drinks and our room- having said that -the hotel is good!
Great location- 5 mins walk from Liverpool St Station. Very clean- lovely bedroom
Reception staff on check - in asked for £120 deposit on our credit card- even though I had paid upfront in full!! They said there were expensive items in the room that people steal!!!! I didn’t like the implication we would take ANYTHING from the room! this was before we had even arrived in the room.

Pleasant and comfortable stay with excellent hotel staff. I would definitely stay here again in the future.
The property was clean, accessible and in a perfect location to the areas that we wanted to visit in walking distance.

very comfortable great location
electronic controls didn’t all work in bedroom, could not shut blind. bar shut 10pm when I arrived 9.30am. to be fair staff were helpful but shutting at 10pm to residents is a poor policy for an expensive City hotel
