St Martins Lane

About St Martins Lane

Philippe Starck’s design gives St Martins Lane a playful streak, carried through from its bold interiors to the golden hand that serves as a door handle at Blind Spot, the hotel’s hidden cocktail bar. In Covent Garden’s theater district, this is a hotel with an evening life of its own: the speakeasy serves drinks inspired by cities around the world, while EllaMia moves from craft coffee to cocktails after dark. Upstairs, rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows and customizable LED lighting, letting guests adjust the mood as daylight fades. The combination of expressive design, generous windows and places to linger makes it a distinctive base for exploring London’s West End.

Why Celebrities Love St Martins Lane

For performers and other creative visitors, the West End location is the persuasive starting point. The hotel's visual wit fits the neighbourhood's theatrical energy, and its mix of cafe, restaurant and late-night bar allows a visit to move easily from daytime conversation to an evening out.
