About Hotel Café Royal
Café Royal’s restored public rooms from the 1860s and 1920s give this Regent Street hotel its architectural weight. Their Grade II-listed interiors became part of a new chapter in 2012, when the former café opened as a hotel following a conversion designed by David Chipperfield. Today, understated contemporary rooms and suites sit within that historic framework, with Soho, Mayfair, and St. James’s close at hand. Dining remains central to its identity: Café Royal Grill serves British cooking in a listed setting, Alex Dilling offers French tasting menus overlooking Regent Street, and Albert Adrià’s Cakes & Bubbles makes desserts and Champagne an occasion of their own.
Why Celebrities Love Hotel Café Royal
For a visit organised around the West End, the geography is unusually compelling: Soho and Mayfair are part of the immediate setting. There is also enough culinary interest to make staying in an intentional evening. A useful practical extra for guests booking qualifying suites is the hotel's chauffeur provision, although its category and booking terms should be checked.
