The Beaumont Hotel

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed at my fair share of London hotels, and The Beaumont on Balderton Street is honestly something special. You know that feeling when you walk into a place and immediately think “okay, they actually get it here”? That’s exactly what happened when I first stepped through those art deco doors. The lobby hits you with this perfect mix of 1920s glamour and modern comfort – not the stuffy kind of old-school luxury that makes you feel like you can’t touch anything, but the type where you actually want to sink into those leather chairs with a proper drink.

What really won me over though was the location. I mean, you’re literally tucked away on this quiet street that most tourists completely miss, but you’re maybe two minutes from Oxford Street if you need to dive into that chaos. The thing is, Balderton Street feels like a secret – there’s Brown Hart Gardens right there (honestly, half of London doesn’t even know this little garden exists), and you can actually hear yourself think, which is pretty rare in this part of town. The staff seemed to know every good restaurant within walking distance, and I’m talking about the places locals go to, not just the obvious tourist spots. One of the concierges sent me to this brilliant little wine bar on Duke Street that I never would’ve found on my own.

The rooms themselves are larger than you’d expect for central London – actually large enough to open your suitcase without performing gymnastics around the bed. Everything feels substantial, from the way the doors close with that satisfying thunk to the weight of the curtains that actually block out the morning light. I stayed during a particularly busy week in October, and while Oxford Street was its usual madness, the hotel stayed surprisingly quiet. The only real downside? Well, this level of quality comes with London luxury prices, so don’t expect any bargains. But honestly, if you’re going to splurge on one hotel stay in London, this is the kind of place that makes those Instagram photos your friends will actually believe you took. The whole experience just feels… authentic, I guess. Like they’re not trying too hard to impress you, they just naturally do.
