The Best Hotels Near the Roundhouse, London

Quite literally a stone’s throw from the Roundhouse, you could almost watch the gigs through your bedroom window.

Now, this handsome Victorian building offers 21 elegant rooms arranged over three floors. It’s the perfect location to walk to sites such as London Zoo, Primrose Hill and Regent’s Canal – when you’re not moshing the nights away, that is.

This smart townhouse sits comfortably in the heart of the elegant, fashionable district of Marylebone. Moments from both Regent’s Park and Hyde Park, the hotel offers you both the buzz of the city and the quietude of these vast green spaces.

Located a couple of Tube stops south of the Roundhouse, the Hurdwick is a great post-gig crashpad. Double rooms are minimalist, sleeping up to four guests.

Sherlock fans, head’s up. Holmes Hotel is located just around the corner from Baker Street where Arthur Conan Doyle’s character lived. You can’t miss the literary motifs inside – from the bowler hat murals to Piggy Doyle’s Gym (supposedly the author’s unlikely nickname). It’s a pleasant 40-minute walk through Regent’s Park to the Roundhouse, so you’ve plenty of time for one of the hotel’s signature cocktails before you venture out.

With designer rooms and suites with names like Groove Britannia, you quickly get the gist of the creative style at this fiercely independent hotel.

The hotel’s fully equipped gym is open all hours and offers great views over the Victorian Gothic majesty of St Pancras across the road. Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard in King’s Cross are a short walk away, and all of Camden’s chaotic, colourful glory is just up the road.

Standing proud in all its Brutalist splendour, the Standard is housed in the former Camden Town Hall Annex, opposite St Pancras station. Choose a terraced suite with an outdoor bathtub.
